    In reply to: Trackback Spam

    I seem to get them in email only. Nothing gets through to the actual blog. But I also have a requirement to register and login before comments can be posted. But I have temporarily turned off “Trackback” just to see if the emails stop coming. If so I will turn it back on as it really doesn’t affect the site at all, just my “email delete” button. And I can live with that, I suppose.

    I had the same problem. In my case it was because I had just installed the latest security upgrade to ZoneAlarm Pro, and it had turned “block private headers” ON for my website. I turned it back on for just that site, and it works fine now.

    Good Idea! Actually, I haven’t used many of the markup code during posts. Will give me something to do ?? I’m having a ball with this, and enjoying the challenge. Thanks!

    Here is the end result. I spaced the letters a bit also to make it a bit more readable:
    .storycontent p {
    font-family: Times, sans-serif, serif;
    font: Times, sans-serif, serif;
    font-size: 12pt;
    letter-spacing: 0.001em;
    }
    Don’t think both lines for the font are necessary, but I just left them there as they aren’t hurting anything.

    Thanks midori and podz. I never use the ‘p’ correctly by rarely closing it, so tend to forget. That made all the difference, and I left it right below the two .storytitles so as to keep them grouped together.
    I love this forum…

    Darn, that didn’t work.
    Was hoping adding the !important declaration would do the trick, but no dice. This is what I currently have with the !important added:
    .storycontent {
    font-family: Times, sans-serif, serif;
    font: Times, sans-serif, serif;
    !important;
    }
    I even tried both at the same time as above but same result. Also tried changes in the .body but no dice there either. Somewhere I am missing how this is nested, I guess.
    BTW, talk about fast response. The first post had been read 4 times and my finger was barely off the Post button. Whew!

    Wellard1981: I have installed the two hacks mentioned on your website, and have not experienced any spam yet. Perhaps they went to bed or something? In any case, I will see what gives in the morning… ??
    The post is at e-ZUNI.

    Thank you, Wellard1981, for the wonderful fix for those of us who are not PHP Gurus, and are CSS noobies. I too, was hearing way too much from ‘online poker dud’, and I just managed to get WordPress 1.2.1 working less than 24 hours ago. Had received about 35 posts from the above in a bit over 30 minutes, and I’m still trying to figure out how to change colors, never mind dealing with spam. So I certainly didn’t need the headache.

    Again, Thanks.
