• 2.7 is excellent, great job guys. However…

    Since upgrading almost every comment is held for moderation. The only rule I have is that if a comment contains one or more links it’s held. But almost every comment is held, even if it doesn’t contain a link. This is happening on two blogs that I own, and only started since the 2.7 upgrade.

    There may be an issue with this, other people reported it too.

    Set it to zero and it’ll let the comments through, but try setting it higher, like to 3 or 4. See if that helps.

    There is an active bug at the moment in so far as smilies are being counted as “links” and therefore pushing more comments to moderation. You may be hitting this.

    Ahh, good to know. I found a fix. Make the regular expression in that piece into this:
    |(href\t*?=\t*?['\"]?)(https?:)?//|i

    And the links are counted correctly again.
