trouble posting comments?

I’ve heard from two people now that when they tried to post a comment, they got a strange error message about ‘inadmissible content’. Which is very odd, as I have no filters installed that I know about. Before I try to track down the source of the problem, it would be good to know exactly how many people have run into this bug. There’s a small poll near the top of the right hand column; please take a minute to vote.

Update: I believe the problem has been solved. If you tried to post a comment and got this message:

Your comment could not be submitted due to
questionable content: ss

…it’s because blacklist was being overly diligent. This has been corrected. I hope.

    Okay, re-trying the one that was rejected earlier:

    Um, I need another choice on the Trouble Poll. Like, “Posted at least one comment successfully, AND have been rejected with an error message at least once.”

    Ironically enough, when I tried to post the above
    comment this morning, I got:

    So, not only is your blog engine intermittently
    cranky, it started HISSING at me

    I AM questionable content.

You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.

My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor,  writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series,  Where the Light Enters, was  released in 2019.

 

Please see the pinned post for an overview of what you'll find on this weblog, and what has been moved to the wiki  (including the FAQ page).
