Trying Again
to upgrade to Movable Type 3.2.
I had problems last time....be prepared for outages.
Update: Success...I bypassed 3.2 and went right to 3.3.
It's got a neat 'junk' feature. 3.3 identified 987 comments and trackbacks that were spam and moved them into a junk folder. It will refuse any more comments/trackbacks from anything in that folder.
I can't seem to get the 'trusted' commenters to work the way I want it to. After I approve someone, they should automatically be able comment immediately without waiting for approval. That ain't happening. I don't want to go to typepad right now (altho I have a key). I'll keep on it.
Update: Apparently I can't designate commenters at trusted (which can be done with a checkbox) unless they are 'authenticated'. That means typepad or the like.

This is a test message.
