trackbacks failed

[pupp]

i am receiving this error. i search the forums and couldn't find anything (possible in english).

receiving this error when copying trackback url from "Trackback specific URI for this entry" and posting this link.

1 Danger Will Robinson, trackback failed.

-----------------------

however, i copied the link not through the trackback url but the standard html link it worked. trackback was updated as well.

Hi!

The trackback link is not meant to be used anywhere other than in trackback URL fields of an entry; the link is not meanted to be actively visited, only by utulities/blogs that send trackbacks, the URL is used for an API request...

understood. lots to learn with this software.

just wish you wrote the book in english. probably make things a bit easier. hahahah.

just would like to hopefully clear something on on this...
I attempted to link my trackback url in the "extended body" section of my blog. i found serendipity did not pick the trackback up. it only seemed to work when it was placed in the "entry body" of my blog.

is this accurate?

Hi!

No, actually trackbacks should both be picked up from extended and the main entry body!
