Comments are working (I think)

| | Comments (1)

It's been days, but it appears that comments (and publishing) are now possible again. Apologies for the technical screw-ups. And if you got one of those ridiculous messages saying "Your text is wrong" -- I can't believe that the designers of ANY user interface would present that as an error message. Apparently, it had to do with those "secret letters" that some comment systems make type in to prove that you're not a webcrawler. But we don't require that kind of thing here at Scanners (yet), so why that cryptic message would show up is baffling.

No, it did not mean that anyone disagreed with what you wrote.

Actually "Your text is wrong" is a pretty tame error message. I am a software engineer and most software developers will not hesitate to put obscure errors in their code some time that reads like: "Idiot Operator Exception: You get to this point in code because the user is a moron."
