A few members have reported problems when trying to make comments to posts on this site - the website is rejecting their comments on the basis that they’re posting from an address that is known to generate spam.

If you use Hotmail, Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, or many of the other web-based email readers to read your email, and you follow a link within the email to the GLUG website, then the website is more likely to reject your comment, simply because so much Spam comes via these services.

The solution, for GLUG members, is to make sure you’re logged in to the website before you try to make a comment - that way the website knows that you’re a genuine user, and will allow your comment.

For non-members, I’m obviously not going to give clues on how to avoid the Spam catcher, since the Spammers will probably read this too! However, if you find you can’t make a comment, please contact me, and I’ll try to help.

P.S.: Did you know you can select “website tips” from the “News Categories” menu on the right, to get more useful information about using this website?
