MT Blacklist was screwed up yet again.
I've turned it off.
That means you will get more spam. Possibly lots more spam. But only for a couple of days. Then the new comments system will be in, and it will go back and zap the old spam for you automatically.
Sorry about this, but if people won't pay attention when they're using Blacklist it just screws things up for everyone.
Posted by Pixy Misa at June 28, 2006 11:16 PM | TrackBackNot to be a pest but is there any way to turn off comments from a specific date back?
Like maybe only keep the two most recent weeks open?
Other than going through them manually.

Yes, you can turn them off after a specific number of days.
Here is the thingy on it:

Posted by annika at June 29, 2006 01:48 AMits not working. i'm trying to rebuild and it's taking forever, too.
Posted by annika at June 29, 2006 02:51 AMdo you need to put $ signs in that tag? I'm trying that now. It sure would help if the instructions had been more detailed for people like me.
Posted by annika at June 29, 2006 03:11 AMIt's not working for me either. I am trying a few things and will post if I figure something out.
Posted by Sacramento Republicrat at June 29, 2006 03:12 AMDon't forget that you have to "Save" before you "Rebuild" the templates. Could that be it?
Posted by Tuning Spork at June 29, 2006 06:31 AMyou have to "Save" before you "Rebuild"
Yeah, that's pretty counterintuitive. You'd expect "Rebuild" to save too...
Minx won't have that problem!
