I’ve been dealing with a WordPress comment issue like the one above the awhile now. Initially I only got them every now and then and pretty much ignored them. This week however I’ve received probably 50 of them now. I used to only get them on my personal blog too, but now I’ve noticed a couple of them happening on other sites.
My initial though was just figuring out how to block them so I didn’t even see these kinds of comments come in at all. After talking to Doug though he wondered what if they were legitimate comments from people that the data is getting erased or lost at some point.
If you’ve visited this site and left a comment, but never saw it posted, let me know. I pretty much approve everything unless you use too much foul language or something.
Has anyone else seen this happening on your WordPress blog? Let me know because I really want to get rid of the messages or fix the problem if I’m losing comments.
I stumbled into fellow Indianapolis blogger, Douglas Karr, at The Bean Cup this morning. He seemed a little lonely. In this photo he’s standing by his good friend. He said he’s open to starting some new friendships but as a requirement you should probably plan on meeting him at his preferred coffee shop and expect to buy him a cup o’ joe.
I decided he looked too lonely for his own good so I decided to take him up on his offer. Sadly I still owe him a coffee, I’m sure I will catch-up with him later.
UPDATE: Here’s where you can start playing the little game yourself. If you’d like to be Doug’s friend, just download the original photo (2.35MB) and Photoshop yourself into the picture as Doug’s friend. Then just come back here and share a link back to where we can go to view the image. Of course linking back to here and Doug’s site would be great too!
I opened my browser this evening and my normal two start-up pages were joined by a page with the information shown above on it.
A brand new browser session, but a new tab was now displayed with information from the website of our local newspaper. How’d they do that? It doesn’t really bother me, in fact I’ll probably submit some interest in their offer, but I can’t figure out how they took control of my browser to give me this little advertisement. Seems weird.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
