Blogroll pings

Since the switch to the new server, I noticed that on several blogs that have us listed (using Blogroll), there doesn't appear a "New" (or whatever word indicates we've updated our blog) anymore. We've long had a ping set up for Blogroll in our preferences; we even tried manually pinging our blog using Blogroll's manual ping form -- but it still wouldn't show that we updated our blog.

Any ideas?

I just did some checking on the Activity Logs. It seems as if just about ALL pings sent out by mu.nu blogs are either "timing out" or failing to connect to the various "pingers" in some way. (I just put up another post a few minutes ago and Blogrolling didn't update again, even after an immediate manual ping via their ping page.)

I don't think this is anything new.

The problem seems to be that sites like Blogrolling will only accept one ping from the whole of munu every fifteen minutes.

It might also be that their servers suck and the pings really are timing out. I can increase the timeout limit, but then you have to waaaaait for it every time you post.

You've tried PINGOMATIC, right?  This allows you to directly ping sites like blogroll.
