Arg!
Arg! I'm going to have to get rid of my Guestbook, aren't I? Or find a whole new blog all together, which, I'd like to add, I don't really want to do.
This morning, I deleted 45 spam guestbook entries. These all came in since I went to bed last night. Astounding. I've being deleting the damn things for a few days now and I don't imagine it slowing down.

IS 20six LISTENING????! (I'll add this to the support blog too. Maybe then we'll see someone comment on it. Watch this space...)

Katja / Website (18.6.06 14:23) No need to add it ot the support blog. All you need to do is activate the anti-spam code for your guestbook. Go to 'your blogs' and tick the little box next to 'activate spam (capcha) code' for guestbook. You can also activate it for comments and contact if you so wish. |

Katja / Website (18.6.06 14:40) Also, just as an aside, 20six ARE listening. The reason the spam codes were made optional in the first place is because people complained about them, due to an IE bug stopping them from displaying correctly. If you have a problem that needs sorting out, the first port of call needs to be to the support blog or an email to customer support, rather than a rant on your blog. Sometimes you might be lucky and other users will be able to help you out, but there are 43000-odd blogs on 20six and Customer Support can hardly go round checking every single one!

Chintzy / Website (18.6.06 14:57) Katja is right. If people would go around looking at the features of the new platform, they'd find solutions ARE there. I've had no spam problems with the security codes. |

Nicola / Website (18.6.06 15:43) Thank you, Katja. I have now changed my guestbook settings and I'm pleased that the spam will stop. Also, I know that 20six are listening but, like many other users, I'm sure, I feel that this new platform has many shortcomings. And, whether it gets me the answers I need or not, a rant on my blog is just that: a rant. I'm frustrated by things as they are and I decided to use my blog to complain. But yes, I know that you're right: if I want to have a question answered, I should use the support blog. And in future, I will. |
