 * I have noticed that for the last couple of releases, pingbacks to posts within
   the same blog have stopped working. The blog still pingbacks other blogs, however.
 * I did read the documentation and have checked that the full URL is present in
   the blog post for each link I am trying to execute a pingback with. I have also
   checked the settings and pingbacks are enabled, both for the posts themselves
   and for the entire blog.
 * Also, the pingbacks do not appear at all under comments, not even as pending.
 * It should be noted that this blog does not have permalinks enabled. (Never could
   get it working on this particular server, for some reason.)
 * The only way I can add a pseudo permalink is to create a normal comment, and 
   then go into the database and change the type to pingback and set the user to
   0. This is a bit of a pain just to add a permalink.
 * Any idea why it stopped working? Do self-pingbacks no longer work in the new 
   versions?
 * Example: [http://blog.morepossibilities.info/?p=2842](http://blog.morepossibilities.info/?p=2842)
   should have pinged [http://blog.morepossibilities.info/?p=2832](http://blog.morepossibilities.info/?p=2832)
   and another post but did not.
