I don't think mine's sending them either; don't know about receiving.

Incoming trackbacks should be working now.

Outgoing trackbacks should be working anyway; that happens automatically whenever you post. If you're not getting an error, and the other site is not receiving them, the problem is most likely on their end.

If you have some specific examples of sending trackbacks not working, I'll take a look.

The thing to remember is that more than 99.8% of trackbacks are spam. A lot of sites have simply turned them off, or implemented spam-filtering so strict that it blocks a lot of valid trackbaks.

PM, I sent one to JohnL over at TexasBestGrok, and it didn't come up; any idea what might've been wrong?

Um.

I can't seem to find it at all.

Try it again now.

I could just say "The problem's at the other end, try contacting their webmaster" and then run away while you're scratching your head, but I won't. ;)
