(0652) Morning all. Troubles all over the place and we also have our share.

 

The state of play at the blog level

First signs have been at NOWP and you can read of those … yes, there was moderation bin at work it seems … the danger is that that’s the original site and has much in the engine room. It’s still working but as you can see from Andy’s attempts to post yesterday, which I misunderstood, there is some interference in the commenting system.

The weird situation is that HQ is under severe spam attack (think this involves lists to be attacked) but other than that, it’s in order.

Unless I leave this venue that is and even then, nothing is lost … it’s backed up … it’s just not plugged in. After losing NO, we always knew this would eventually happen. Safest two sites for our tavern complex for now are HQ and Jstack but even Jstack has bizarre issues of complication in the works … it’s near impossible to open and compose on, plus it keeps signing itself out. To get back in, I must go through a chain involving a different email, which actually eventually works just now.

To cut to the chase … NOWP does work, it seems to be requiring moderation … if our droppers can stand that for now, I’d still use it. Reason for attack? Pretty obvious … the targets, innit?

UHC-WP is in the same boat as NOWP, as a WP blog under their direct control, low storage space. Workable for now though.

Jstack does work as a convoluted process … it’s not designed as a news site, it’s for authors’ views, e.g. Dan Wootton, Nick Dixon. It’s designed as a traffic builder … we went through this long ago.

Recommendation from me? Still use things as they are if you feel you can, I just need to be more vigilant about NOWP.
