This is my first post to PixelPost forums. I am running version 1.4.2 and I use pop-up windows for comments. I am worried about comment SPAM and I like the random code generators that force you to type in a code (what this appears to be).

I have also read elsewhere in the forums, that if you use popup comments, you typically won't get any comment SPAM.

Also, I am not an expert coder and a little concerned about screwing up my comment template. When I checked the first line of code that you are supposed to replace, it doesn't match the one in my current comment popup template (which BTW works flawlessly).

Should I attempt this upgrade? Or am I safe enough without it? I have been running my PixelPost blog now since October 15th and I have not received a comment SPAM to date.

Anxious to hear what other users think.

upgrade your pixelpost to v.1.4.3

if you do not get spam, do not worry about it...if you wish to never get spam, then get safe now...that's your choice

i dont have it installed on mine

Thanks,

I upgraded to 1.4.3 last week. Are you saying that is adequate to prevent SPAM. Or are you suggesting I should install this anti-comment spam addon? I really lean toward installing it, but I don't want to screw up the rest of my Pixelpost installation, and the stuff in the documentation for this addon does not match up with what I find when I check out he actual Pixelpost files running my site. What do you think?

I followed the instructions but when I enter the security code I get an "You entered wrong code" message. The check doesnt work. I use Pixelpost version 1.4.2.

see the code of the modified comment_template.html template below:

Please can someone help me with this problem????

I recently got a flurry of "new comment" emails which were just spam from a botnet. I was happy to find this addon and quickly set it up. I tested it out, and sure enough, if you enter the code, it works. If you fudge the code, it fails. Great. However, I got another few spam comments posted! This bot doesn't seem to care about this check and just bypasses it somehow. It's POSTing directly to "/index.php?x=save_comment" without any other page loads. Of course, it's also from several different IPs.

Any idea why this isn't working for me?

Edit: Guess I should mention I'm running 1.4.3 and addon version 1.0.2.

I am sure this problem that the spam is posted directly to the url is fixed in the 1.5 developer version

I am getting the same problem as well.

Even with this addon (using pixel post 1.5), comment spam is still getting through! How is that even possible?

I've installed in at www.stephanietung.com/gravitas for a friend who's site has been attacked by constant spam.
