Trackbacks out of kilter

I've gotten a number of links (and the author said trackbacks too) but none have come through. I checked my setup to insure I'm accepting trackbacks and I am. Can this be fixed?

Thanks.

Trackbacks are being recorded but not updating blogs. This is intentional. I'll probably be switching processing back on later today, and that will pick up trackbacks sent through earlier.

You don't need to do anything to your blog.

The reason trackbacks are switched off completely is that we've been receiving 3000 of them per minute. Which was a bit of a problem. 99.99% spam and then some, but the server has to catch them all and then weed out the bad ones.

Thanks Pixy.... I know you provide mu.nu as a service, and I'm very greatful, but would you consider adding a paypal button so that all of us that would like to help out can? I think the majority would like to contribute even if it was just a little.

Does this extend to comments too? I just wonder because the last couple of days my comments haven't been emailed to me. I did an index rebuild thinking that might help, but it was a no go. Not that it's of huge importance, I was just wondering. I don't get that many comments and I can check for the top 5 just about once a day on the management screen and not miss any ;-)

BTW - I'm with GM - I'd be quite happy if you put up a donate button. *grin* Because I know exactly how hard you've been working!

Are TB pings not going out either? Just curious.

Outgoing pings should be fine. Incoming pings are being recorded, but not updating the blogs right now.

Comment-emailing is something I need to look at.

Still no TB's on my blog... I rebuilt just in case, but no dice.
