OK homeys...listen to Jay Allen Sanford...he'll walk u thru it

Took me a dozen tried to post a comment, using the new captcha field (necessary due to hackers and bobot spammers abusing the site) - the captchas are hard as heck to read, and are apparently case-sensitive --

Yes.

What a royal pain.

Indeed, but should have been instituted awhile ago - without the captchas, sites are very vulnerable.

Nan, it took me awhile to get a captcha to work - BUT, once I did, my comments have been working every time. Please try it a few more times - I think once you're recognized by site 'bots, you won't have any more problems (other than making out the hard-to-read captcha text!)

gotcha Jay...but i have really poor vision...yikes don't tell anyone....and with that silly line running thru one of the words i'm a gonna every time

and ya got to type those captchas in twice...once in the original comment and once in the preview...so i feel like i'm jumping alphabetic hurtles

it's so sad to have old eyes...dang it!!!

You can skip the "preview comment" step now by scrolling a bit further down the page after you type in your comment -- a "post comment" button has been added BELOW the captcha!

nan shartel Sept. 1, 2011 @ 6:09 a.m.

HFMMOG!!!

nan shartel Sept. 1, 2011 @ 6:11 a.m.

i could hug u til u squeak Jay ((;-D))

and bring u middle of the nite beers!!!

oh wait ...it's morning...hahahahaha

does the web site administrator have to run around removing lots of spam comments Jay??

i rarely see any in the blogs

if the bloggers change their passwords frequently i don't think they could be hacked...what would be the point anyway??

i find it impossible to reply individually to each poster now

i guess i'll have to resort to @quill or @ jay and they can see comments i make to them at the bottom of the page

and quill...ur right

"What a royal pain".

Most every aspect of the website has been under attack for awhile now, 24 hours a day, including bogus neighborhood blog posts filled with spam, some of it with racist, obscene, or nonsense language - even the "contact" buttons were being flooded with hundreds of spam messages. The captchas filter out the evil auto-pilot spambots that perpetrate such chicanery --
