Site problems...

If you are using dasBlog 1.7 or 1.8 and have been using the MoveableType Blacklist to block spam referrals, then your site is having issues too. On some sites it seems to block all access, on mine it only blocked most links to my site.

The setting to turn off in site.config is false as seen in the screen shot above. If you don't have this setting, or this file then you're not affected.

[ DasBlog Alert! Referral BlackList has changed! ]

Sorry for the inconvenience, I've stopped using the MT Blacklist functionality, and hopefully someone will come up with a genius idea to replace it.

I'm working on a solution...

Now that's cool.

If every time someone blogged about a Microsoft product that wasn't working quite right, Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer commented on their blog that a fix was in the works, I think less people would dislike Microsoft so much.

No worries, ultimately there are more of us than the spammers, so it's only a matter of time until they loose.
