Missives from the 6th Floor: Too many comments have been submitted from you in a short period of time.

April 13, 2008

Too many comments have been submitted from you in a short period of time.

A handful of folks have reporting having my blog tell them "Too many comments have been submitted from you in a short period of time." and suggesting they "try again in a short while."

Turns out the thing all these people had was that they were using the "preview" functionality, and the trivial (but effective at stopping blog post spam) CAPTCHA plugin I use hadn't been correctly hooked up to the preview template. I tried fixing that and it turned out to be non-trivial, so as a temporary thing I disabled Preview entirely.

So, Post or Post Not, there is no Preview.
