Hi folks,

I have some problem with creating trackbacks on other Blogposts.

When I use a link in my post from another blog, to trackback it, I pretty much often run into one of the following troubles:

- no trackback URI could be found (I checked the URL and DID found the Trackback URI)

or

- no answer from the linked blogpost is coming, but instead several hundrets of hits on my new entry. The trackback requests times out.

Is there someone haveing same problems?

Greetings,
Jaws

Hi!

Please read http://www.s9y.org/48.html -- serendipity uses automatic trackbacs, and if you need to use special URLS from blogs that don't support it, you need additional plugins or ask the blog authors to fully comply to Trackback standards. All is described on that page.

- no answer from the linked blogpost is coming, but instead several hundrets of hits on my new entry. The trackback requests times out.

This one I don't understand. You link to a foreign entry, but instead of trackbacking that foreign entry you get redirected to your own blog and trackback that one?

PHP is very flaky on handling time-outing network connections. So if you send trackbacks to URLs that are not online or timeouting, saldy PHP/S9y cna't react to that, and you can't send a trackback to that site...?
