A new anti-spam measure was installed yesterday, and coincidentally I’m noticing that nobody has been posting ... checking to be sure that nothing has been screwed up.

OK, I hear that there are problems. We’ll get to the bottom of it.

Glad to see it’s not just me! I hadn’t been able to post in a couple of days! It looks like it’s fixed (or the new spam filter was removed)..

Seems like an ordinary back-end SNAFU. Should be cleared up now. Sorry for the trouble, everyone!

I was getting something about an “API key” or some such being invalid. *shrugs*

I saw it too, and was quite concerned. Amazing how a little glitch can cause so many people to be bothered.

Well, that’s good to know.
Now if only I can remember all the stuff I wanted to post about.

Same here. I had a couple of particularly snide comments, but they were gone by the time I could post again. Ah well.

The big question is—has ‘boobquake’ been able to foil it???

So that’s what that “API key appears to be invalid” stuff was all about. With so many members having problems I bet you had NO SPAM!

Yup, blocking everyone from posting is an effective way of avoiding spam.

Yuk! That anti-spam thing is junk, it is (all but) preventing me from posting a link to a CNN article, and that’s not the first problem. In engineering tradition, it is a joke to call a bug like that a “feature” if you just write it into the user manual! Ha Ha Ha! Turn the bug off until is is functional, please. Functional means that the filter PASSES all the messages in the history of this forum, that are not SPAM.

I’m sure Doug will report this to the webmaster to see what can be done to correct that problem.
