Question:

Often the only time I have to post is on breaks or lunch at work. If I try to comment on a blog, the "behind a proxy" thing bites me. I don't expect the blogger's to change their setup, so is there anything I can do to make it work

Are you behind a proxy too, Brody?

I don't know how to deal with proxies.

i guess what I don't understand is "what behind a proxy" means when it comes to commenting on blogs.

I just tried a test comment on your blog, this is the message I get back when I try to leave it:

Your comment has been blocked because the blog owner has set their spam filter to not allow comments from users behind proxies.

If you are a regular commenter or you feel that your comment should not have been blocked, please contact the blog owner and ask them to modify this setting.


Maybe MC can tell us more about what this means. I assumed it had something to do with my going through a company server.

changed"wp spamfree" thingy. If you'd like to try to comment on one of mine, we can see if this works. However, that opens up the blog to outside spammers...HOWEVER, I have my blog set to a NEW commentor needing my verification to allow the comment to show up...so...that should be a way to keep unwanted NASTIES out of my blog, eh?

I tried, Ann, it still won't let me through, get the same message as before.

Apparently MC is sidetracked with other things......

Hopefully they are profitable other things......

Perhaps he will get back to us in time.

Okay, here's your workaround:

Under WP-Spamfree check verify this setting:

☑ Allow users behind proxy servers to comment?

It should be checked.

Under Settings -> Discussion:

☑ Users must be registered and logged in to comment (Signup has been disabled. Only members of this site can comment.)

This should be checked. Ignore the warning about registration, as it's allowed on the forum and that automatically grants access to the blogs as well.

Email me whenever:
☑ Anyone posts a comment
☑ A comment is held for moderation
Before a comment appears:
☑ Before a comment appears An administrator must always approve the comment

These settings should also be checked.

By setting your blog this way you will eliminate 99.9% of spam, and always have the chance to review comments before they show up. The only possible way for spam to be posted is if a spammer registered on the forum and then went to the blogs to spam. Not likely to happen.

Sorry for the delay in seeing this. I have been busy. I'll keep an eye on it to field any other questions though. :)

wohooo!! Thank you David!

AFTER YOU CHANGE THE SETTINGS....make sure you go down to the lower part of the page and click the "save settings" or "save options" or "save chages" button! (some of us need reminding of that from time to time :whistle: )
