Problems
By greg on Dec 7, 2007 in Uncategorized
Over here i have been having a few problems of late with the blog, most recently in that it thought that i was a spammer and blocked me from my own blog! How rude I tell ya!
It turns out i am not a spammer at all and it was just the Bad Behavior plugin going a little off course
All users should update to Bad Behavior 2.0.11 immediately to prevent being blocked from your own site.
Within the past two days users have found themselves blocked from their own sites while using recent versions of Bad Behavior. A third party blacklist which Bad Behavior queries recently began sending false positives for any IP address queried, causing everyone using Bad Behavior to be blocked. This issue is fixed in Bad Behavior 2.0.11.
Download Bad Behavior 2.0.11 now!
P.S. Yes, Bad Behavior is still in development. More news coming soon.
Update: Some people have asked for more details on what exactly happened. In brief, yesterday I moved all of my sites to a new dedicated server. In the process, I decommissioned an old blacklist I was running which I thought wasn’t being used, not realizing that Bad Behavior was still set to use it. Shortly afterward, I found myself locked out of my own blog, just as you all did. So therefore, this release.
The plugin has been fixed so if your using Bad Behavior then upgrade to the new version now
