Title: Comments not posting at all
Post by: djmeesh on February 22, 2007, 03:35:48 pm
Hi all, due to spam I disabled the comments on copermine for a while, and reinstalled the latest version 1.4
Everything works great, and I installed captcha to help with spam. Still no problem with the program itself.

But I tested captcha and it apparently does the job with one minor hickup.

All the comments are exchanged with (...) marks.  Even the guest field.

I noticed this was happening before which is why I thought spammers were trying some funky code to access my website and thought it was a hack because all the comments started to look like

(...)(...)(...)(...)(...)(...)(...)(...)(...)(...)(...)(...) (...)(...)(...) (...) (...)

So now I have captcha installed, the new coppermine installed, but comments are all funky.
I looked into the database and it is saved in that format.

Guest_(...)
(...) (...) (...) (...)

Took off captcha and it still did the same thing again.
 SO I put it back on so I dont get bombarded with spam I hope.

It does this with administrator, regestered user, and guests.
Any help would be apritiated.

Check your config settings for comment settings and for 'Max number of characters in a word'.

Expand all the sections and use your browser's search to locate the option.
