Nonsense

Have You Had Trouble Commenting Here?

It has been brought to my attention many times over the past year or so that people have had problems leaving comments on ISM posts. Generally, it seemed to be some kind of irritating nonsense with Firefox’s Javascript implementation screwing with the spam-blocking plug-in we had installed. This resulted in the inability for people to post comments at times, including ISM writers even when we were logged in to the site!

A few weeks ago, I changed the spam-blocking plug-in over to another one that seems to be far more effective in allowing everyone to comment, though at the expense of it flagging a few REAL comments for me to review every week or so. I’m now getting into the habit of checking the flagged comments once a day, so even if that happens (and it rarely does, I think there have been two instances in about three weeks), it won’t take long for the comment to show up on the site.

We greatly appreciate our comments section, from the regulars to one-time posters, so please feel free to dialogue with us! We have some DEMF pre-coverage coming up in the next few weeks, and of course more fantastic mixes from our own writers as well as our awesome guests.

    As mentioned on twitter I did have a problem. But let’s see if it works now… the comment was mainly to say I think it would be interesting to set up a fund for you and the fam to travel out across the US and make the dance music documentary that clearly needs to be made. I reckon you’d be a strong candidate for someone who could do it right. (And your better half can make a Heart of Darkness style doc for her blog about how painful the process was!) Two docs: one RV.
    Set up a paypal donate page and let’s start this!

    Jez’s idea seconded. I have also been unable to comment for quite a while.
