50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

haloscan fix it guide

  • Web/Tech

A lot of the blogs I read use Haloscan for their comments. Many of them are reporting problems with Haloscan in the last 24 hours or so.

Via Crooks & Liars, I stumbled upon a solution which I reprint here as a public service announcement:

Haloscan Fix it guide

Bloggers, go into Beta features in Haloscan and in
the middle of the column it says Spam filters. Just say "no" and your
comments will come back up. Hat tip Jane
for the info. 

I’m not a Haloscan user, so this doesn’t affect me at all, but I know a lot of bloggers are, so I hope this workaround helps you out.

    Thanks for getting the word out about the workaround. Jeevan (aka “the Haloscan guy”) has fixed the underlying issue that caused the glitch, so people can turn the (beta! beta, people!) spam filter redirect thing back _on_ and comments will work as normal.

    How awesome is that. You never even mentioned it in your blog. What’s up with that?

    Thanks for the heads up…now I have something to try the next time my site is slow (not that I get many comments, mind you….).

having exhausted my ability to solve a simple problem, i turn to the internet for assistance. help me, mysterious internet; you’re my only hope.

this post is an ask for technical support. Just a basic, straightforward, "Hey, Internet, can someone help me out here?" And before you ask, yes, I have turned it off and back on again.

nothing but bluesky is such a predictable title for this post

I am still on a break from public life, but I understand some number of people were concerned that someone was building a foundation to impersonate me, and I wanted to verify that those accounts are, indeed, mine. There is no need to report them. But thank you for looking out for me.

children are not property. they are people.

Children deserve to be children. Children are not the property of their parents who can use and exploit them for their own gain. They are CHILDREN and they will spend the rest of their lives hurting because you stole that from them. Ask me how I know.

buy the ticket, take your turn

It's another one of those round up posts, like in the Before Times!
