Web Site News - Sorry About the Comment Thing

by Ferdinand T Cat

We've been having trouble with our comment facility: it was marking every comment as spam. Bruce has fixed the problem, and hopefully everything should be okay until the next software upgrade.

The easiest way to do comments is to choose the comment normally option. This requires one of those annoying CAPTCHA codes, but you can do everything you need right here on the site.

We support four sign-in protocols: Vox, TypeKey, OpenID, and LiveJournal. Bruce and I use TypeKey. If you have a TypeKey account, you just click on the TypeKey symbol to the right on the sign-in page and then follow the instructions. Vox and LiveJournal work in a similar way. We also support OpenID. OpenID assigns you a URL that you can use in place of a signin and password. This is the default option on the signin page.

Anyway, the point is, you can use the inconvenient comment-normally form, or use one of four inconvenient sign-in services if the comment-normally form isn't painful enough.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

But it won't display my e-mail address, right? Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable posting here anymore.

No, we never show email addresses.

HTML is not allowed in comments; however, if you put in a raw URL (http://www.somewhere.com/page.html) it will automatically be converted to a link.. Also, it is likely your comment will not appear unless you refresh the page manually after posting it.
