I and my readers have had several problems with my blog. Repeatedly comments, trackbacks and uploads do not work. Individuals who have left comments before are unable to sometimes and even today when attempting to get the t/b url I was told 'forbidden-404'. With uploads I often receive a 'bad gateway' error message. Everything in the template is correct and all of the weblong configurations are as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I had a trackback problem the other day. I couldn't ping Jen and Harvey for their birthday posts. No idea what was wrong - just got the generic "The pooch has been screwed. Check the log." message but couldn't open the log.
Posted by Jim at September 16, 2005 06:50 PMThe log has got too big again. I'll clear it out.
The usual problem for pings is that they've been automatically closed due to incoming spam. I've reduced the amount of time they stay closed, and we'll see how that works.
Unfortunately, our grand plan to simply stop trackbacks on old posts doesn't work, because MT apparently takes no notice of that setting. I'll see if I can fix that this weekend.

Posted by caltechgirl at September 17, 2005 05:32 AMI'm not sure what the "bad gateway" message is about, though. I upload stuff all the time and I've never seen that one.
If you get it again, could you email the whole message to me?
Posted by Pixy Misa at September 18, 2005 07:50 AMYes I will email you the message the next time it happens. It will go through periods of it's work and then it doesn't. It's not one day it's fine and the next it's not.
Also, the Remember Me for comments often doesn't work for people using IE. Any suggestions?

Thanks Jim. We need to set up a better FAQ. I'm tinkering with MediaWiki at the moment.
Posted by Pixy Misa at September 19, 2005 04:42 AMWell, either that or get some software that works...
