Upgrade progress (or lack thereof)

Posted By: Glenn HaumanPosted On:

The process continues. A few notes:

* Thnaks to Mark L. for pointers that are helping solve some of the problems. However, they don’t seem to be addressing problems with Typekey themselves, as it’s refusing to send me a registration email. If anybody else has been able to become a registered user of Typekey, let me know– and of course, please try to use it here, so I have a real registered commentor to test against.

* Secondly, I have discovered only after upgrading that MT-Blacklist is incompatible with the new version of Movable Type– which means my spam inbox is going to be exploding shortly. Thanks heaps, SixApart– I’m SO glad I paid you money.

Folks, if you can avoid upgrading, DON’T. If any representatives of SixApart would deign to contact me so that these niggling little problems can be worked out, feel free– otherwise, I’m going to keep using the bully pulpit here.

* Finally, to the chap who prompted all of this in the first place: Dee, you better run. Peter was merely ticked at you; I’m now out for blood after having to spend hours cleaning up your messes. Disconnecting your Comcast account isn’t going to be enough to hide– I recommend moving.

UPDATE: If I didn’t make it clear, when you post, clicking on Typekey should allow you to sign up so that you won’t have to wait for your posts to be approved. So please do so, because otherwise who knows when your comments will go live.

FURTHER UPDATE (3:51 PM): Typekey has numerous reports of the confirmation emails being blocked as spam. So we’re working with that as well. Joy.

  2. OK, signed up for the whole TypeKey thing. I can live with that. Sorry it had to come to that, sure, but I understand.

    Wow. I have to start grocery shopping for Shore Leave. Who all from here will be there (other than PAD)?

  3. If youdon’t want your email address displayed here, go to typekey.com, log in to access your account, and de-seleect the “send my email address” option checkbox. (I’m assuming it’s OK if people do that, Glenn?)

  6. I hardly ever post, but I would like to say to the person who mocked my “super-shrouding” suggestion… ha.

  7. Trying this again. I thought I’d gotten through, but apparently not. And again, I make my own spam filters, so it’s something I have to work out for myself. o.o

  8. Oh, now that’s bloody brilliant. I had attempted to use the Remember me? before, but it didn’t work.

    Only now, after the changes and going to TypeKey, it finally remembers me with the name & email address boxes.

  12. Testing again. Typekey wasn’t working a moment ago. Now it apparently is. Let’s see.

  13. Okay, I am now no longer a doofus. ^.^;

    Please disperse. Nothing to see here…

  14. I see that it’s still posting my E-Mail address, even though I Do NOT have the “send E-Mail address” box checked. Does anyone know how this can be corrected so E-Mail addresses do not show unless we want them to?

  15. O.K. That’s weird. That second post didn’t have my E-Mail address, while the one previous to it did. Which means this post will probably display my third grade report card.

    Fun with technology.

  16. Glenn,

    FYI, SixApart released 3.1D that allows previews to function before posting. The upgrade is simple: copy the new MT scripts over the old ones and add a flag to the Comment Preview template. I just got it up and working on my site in the last few minutes.
