Ok, I've looked through the forum and I couldn't find anything that solved my problem. My problem is that when I go to post it says:


Error
You cannot signup this guestbook at the moment!


Now from searching in the forums I found that this is most likely cause of the spam filter, so I adjusted my settings.php to this:


<?php
/* >>> SETUP YOUR GUESTBOOK <<< */
/* Detailed information found in the readme file */
/* File version: 1.34 $ Timestamp: January 30 2006 20:53 */

/* What type of server is your website on?

$settings['system']=1;

$settings['website_title']="the main page";

$settings['smileys']=1;

$settings['notify']=0;

?>


I changed everything I could think of, from the swear word filter to spam stuff and nothing seems to help. I have twice (with no reason or change) been able to post but any other time I get that error and I can't figure out why. Please help!

Well, I just tested it and i had no problem getting my test messages in your guestbook.
So this is a difficult problem to solve. Maybe Klemen has an idea.

Hi,

The "You cannot signup this guestbook at the moment!" error is indeed a result of the JunkMark(tm) spam filter. If you do something to upset the filter it will block all your posts within the same session with the above message.

What to do: close ALL your browser windows (including this one) and try again.

Regards

Also for maximum security you should change the default to something else (just type some letters and number, for example (don't use this one, type something on your own)

Doesn't really matter how long it is.
