I’ve finally succumbed. I’ve upgraded to MT 3.2. Actually, it turned out that I needn’t have waited so long seeing as they’ve changed the licencing policy so I didn’t need to purchase one after all (as long as I deleted all the other potential weblog authors in my database, but as none of the others ever need to post anything that wasn’t a big loss).
Anyway, one of the reasons I wanted to upgrade – the major reason in fact – was that the spam was getting unmanageable. So now commenters need to be authenticated in order to post. However, I can’t seem to figure out how to authenticate any of you (I click the option but no one shows up in the trusted commenters list) so for the time being I have to accept any comments before they’re published.
SO IF YOU COMMENT AND IT DOESN’T SHOW UP, DON’T TRY TO WRITE IT AGAIN, JUST WAIT A FEW HOURS, OK?
