I went to look in the spam folder (which is different from the moderation folder) because people were letting me know that their comments were disappearing. Lo and behold there were almost 100 comments in there that should not have been marked spam. There are two ways that I know of that comments are sent to spam. I can send them there or the spam detector can send them there. The spam detector works great. So I was ready to blame myself, but then I noticed that spam I sent there was marked “tagged by tamaratattles” and the stuff that was not supposed to be there was marked “cleared by the spam detector” thingamajig.
So what I am saying is that I moved the comments out of spam, which put them in moderation and then I approved them all one by one again. I hope this takes care of the problem. I hope Riley can post as Riley again, and Sammie can post as Sammie again. I’m sorry to the person who was having a mental meltdown almost as dramatic as the ones I’ve been have the past few nights because they were stuck with the window lickers. I totally get it and hope she is still lurking and reading this.
I am concerned because most people having the problem were not having it with every comment. So who knows if it will stop now or not. But let’s think positively. And I will try to keep an eye on the spam folder for a bit.
Thanks for bearing with me as I figure out all the new “features” that I have to deal with on this site. Frankly, I’m this close to just going back to WordPress.
TT -anything worth having is worth working for. Personally, if it went smoothly, I would be convinced that there is a huge f’ed reason and that it was about to go boom at any moment. You got this !
Don’t give up! We can all make it through this together. And if mine ever go to spam I won’t be worried. Most of the time when I do comment it’s for you to read anyways. But now that you have so many followers I know that can be hard and tiresome. So no worries from me. I’ll stay here reading until you block me enitorely ?
I’m with you. Some of my comments can be spamish and lord knows to moderate me, at all times,it’s for my own good.Amen.
Hang in there it’s just a matter of time before the technical glitches get resolved…
Yippy Skippy!
You were an actual window licker. I have freed you. Go forth and sin no more, Jaded.
When can I come back?
This crap issues happened to me today. I spent 20 minutes writing a comment then it disappeared. I came back later and spent 30 minutes carefully rewriting it and then that one disappeared. After I refreshed page my 1st appeared, and now my 2nd might appear.
Sorry for the extra work on my post. Go ahead & post both of mine because damn it I’m worth it.
UF, if you were willing to go back into indentured servitude to your hostess you could make sure all your comments are posted in a timely manner.
Have you seen the AHS Hotel teasers? Are you chained and ready to recap?
Umm it’s all about Scream Queens now. ?
Just copy your text before you press comment.
Group hugs! I’m free ☺
Nope, Sammie, you are still going straight to spam. I have no clue why…
Cuz I’m mostly made of fat and have few redeeming qualities? ☺
Because all of America love her even though she is slowly killing them?
“Frankly, I’m this close to just going back to WordPress.”
Okay I’m really getting a Twilight Zone feeling. What am I missing? I’m still accessing / reading the site via WordPress & though the graphics are different, the major difference is I can no longer “like” individual comments (only those that reply to me directly).
ETA: The only way I’ve been able to comment (even now) is via my WordPress account (which I opened specifically for this site).
ETAA: I’ve been wanting to ask this since the move but in no way want it to sound like I’m diminishing the obvious difficulties of a big move.
(Hell, most days I have difficulty moving from one room to another.) 😉
It’s complicated. Yes, I still use the WordPress system, albeit a different version, but my site is not longer hosted on the WP site itself. So yes you still comment in basically the same way and things on your end should still look basically the same. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it.
Thanks TT. Thought I was losing it. 😉
Some of my comments disappeared. Some were in moderation. I knew it was probably a glitch. Hang in there, hon. We know you love us!
I figured it poofed because of the changes being made. Sorry for all your headaches! And thanks for all your hard work and info 😀
Now I have to have inline frames turned on to comment, but that is me with my old-school computer rather than a phone or tablet.
I’ll still read and comment. I won’t take it personally
Hopefully this will cheer you up: Lil Kyle has two (2!!) little baby tomatoes growing!!!
I have one!! Yay!!
This is a test.. Don’t comment here much, so just seeing if this works.. Love your site TT! I came to check it out when someone called you crazy on another blog, and have since stopped going to that site and just come here. You actually research for your posts, and other sites (which I won’t name) just copy & paste from ROL & TMZ. Keep up the great work, TT!!
YAY! You are good.
And the sites that call me crazy are only telling the truth. I am currently on a much too long stay in fucking crazy town. 🙁
I love when the WLS tries to comment about how crazy, old and fat I am. I was trying so hard to keep all of that a secret! 🙂
If you’re crazy at all, it’s the good crazy!! Being sane is so overrated.
That’s why we love you! (Testing comment from phone)
Maybe switching to word press login will save me from the spam folder.
Still going to spam. UGH.
It will all work out, we who wrote you are no going anyplace. This is the place to be….always…Dee
Damn, it was supposed to say “we who adore you”
I hope I’m not stuck with anesthesia brain
……….sigh….. I’m just sad the pretty picture of TT is off the masthead. I really loved it….
Testing….
Looks like it didn’t take. No worries, I can be AKA.
Maybe Sammie can be AKA Sammie. I’m so sorry.
Please, no worries, no need for apologies. You will get it all ironed out. We have faith.
If it is that easy no problem just call me AKA Sammie.
Thanks for explaining why I still see “WordPress.” It was worrin’ me.
I feel for you TT, battling with never ending technology crap. Is there somebody you can hire? The opportunity cost of not getting ads up and running is certainly adding up.
I think but am not 100% sure that comments made from my iPad are showing up while comments made from my phone go into the Great Black Windolicking Hole…
It could be worse. Like going to the WLS. THAT would really suck.
One day I would like to see the WLS. For, like, anthropological reasons, not as a resident. Like a gay, virtual Gorillas in the Mist kind of thing.
Me too! Just for research purposes
We can do this TT. I’m sure all the kinks will be worked out soon.
Growing pains, darling. Growing pains.
I don’t comment often and was put in limbo for my comment on open deck. I chalked it off to changes. Anyhow the post is there now… thank you! Good news is there are lots of new comments everywhere to enjoy. Gonna do some TT surfing!!!
I liked your graphic photo that you had tried out. Did you boost that for good? You should add it back in 🙂
Also, is there any way to do a WLS recap once in awhile? Or a “best of” with your responses? I realize you have your hands full with your new site so probably not a good time to be asking you to do more. I just have the funniest visual of the window lickers and it would be humorous to see what gets them sent there.
Best on your transition!
Riley is still in the cheapest seats of the WLS! There is a VIP section for WLS where your comments just go to moderation when I get time. I read those. Then there is the BOWELS of the WLS that I never see, and that is where all the Riley posts went as well as the occaision post from most of you. You just don’t get to look around at the other losers.
I often want to do a best of WLS. I deleted the comments today up til now though. I used to share the best one with a circle of my closest friends. And then I kinda left the circle. So maybe I will here once in awhile.
I used to let them stick around for a bit so y’all could play with them…
When you get a chance TT, can you please look and tell me am I in WLS or spam?
uh huh
When you get a chance TT, can you please tell me am I in the WLS or spam?
yes.
Sorry the question must have posted twice.
Thanks for checking
OMG ANOTHER TWO DOZEN POSTS IN SPAM FROM REGULAR POSTERS. I CAN’T WITH ALL OF THIS!
Yeah, it was weird – my comment on this thread went to spam yet my comment on RHONY was published.
I support anyone with a name starting with the letter ‘Z’ going to spam. Fuck them. ?
Test.
…ing
Yay!!!
I’m sorry the transition is causing odd things to happen. I can’t imagine how frustrating that is. On the other hand, the site looks FABULOUS!!
Keep saying to yourself that “change is good”. Thank goodness dealing with technical difficulties is not my problem because I would rather put a pencil through my eye but I know you are very capable and all will be well soon. Hang in there, TT.
Just checking to see if I have been freed from the WLS. I have been behaving and will no longer post anything positive about BG (or at least try very hard).
Aww2 that’s sweet
There was some floaty black box ad on the lower right of my screen this time around. That’s the only ad so far. Just passing it along….
You may need update your flashplayer or whatever…
Yay! Here’s to hoping I’m good to go now
TT, I don’t know if this is the proper place to put this. My apologies if not. I just wanted to tell you the don’t on the mobile screen appears to have been fixed, and by fixed I mean it’s not tiny font.
Also, I’m liking the new layout and design. Thanks
