metavalent

what’s odd is that nothing changed over the past week. i’ve been running WP and K2 for well over a year and never seen this before. i do suspect it’s something on my end, but can’t imagine what. i work all week and only have time to mess around with blogging as a weekend hobby, so not a lot of moving parts in my case. i’ll try from another machine and get back to the thread. thanks for the prompt and helpful ideas.

So I set my current time/date ahead by a MONTH to:

Current system time is 2007-06-12 11:27:14

Still:

Sorry, you can only post a new comment once every 15 seconds. Slow down cowboy.

Seven months later, using WP 2.1.3, I just now ran into this same problem. Here’s the extra fun, in the database we have:

comment_date 2007-05-12 09:41:33
comment_date_gmt 2007-05-12 17:41:33

Current system time is 2007-05-12 11:22:50
Current GMT time is 2007-05-12 19:22:50

No time-travel issues, the present appears to be the present and the future, the future. Now what?

How embarrassing. First, after finding this thread https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Blog_by_Email and following the advice to create a more meaningful error message, namely:

If you’re feeling adventuresome open

wp-mail.php

and search for:

$count = $pop3->login(get_settings(‘mailserver_login’), get_settings(‘mailserver_pass’));

Change the lines following it to something like:

if (0 == $count) :
echo “There does not seem to be any new mail. <br/>\n”;
echo “count = $count<br/> \n”;
echo “$pop3->ERROR \n”;
exit;
endif;
I ran wp-mail.php from the full URI one more time and received:

POP3 pass: authentication failed [-ERR Login failed.]

Which prompted me ONCE AGAIN to carefully visit my WP admin setup, only to find a single repeated character in my password! All that time, it was a sloppy typo in my own password! Garr! I have nothing to blame but my own stupidity, but it might be nice if the stock wp-mail.php included this more informative error reporting, in the future.

It’s classic network marketing, with two choices of payment options. If the service is solid, there’s nothing at all wrong with paying people to be your sales force. The problems only start if the service quality falters, but people keep trying to push a bad product. So far, that doesn’t appear to be the case; although recent troubles on a couple servers seem to have some people steaming, while people on unaffected servers are as happy as ever. Gee, almost like every other site on the web, these days. ??
