Hi!

Yes, using the spamblock plugin you can disable all "API-generated comments".

But you need to upgrade your Serendipity to at least 0.9.1. Use 1.0-beta3 for even more Spamblock improvements, and 1.0 final will be out in a week or so.

Best regards,

StarF,

what do you mean with "fixed embedding"? Embedding should basically work. I have heard of a few installations where it doesn'T due to PHP weirdness. Nobody could provide me with access to those servers, and it works flawlessly on mine, so I'm unable to fix anything that is unknown to me. :-)

Best regards,

Hi!

Yes, of course, if you can give me the FTP access to that malfunctioning site I'd be VERY happy to debug it!

Best regards,
Garvin
