In reply to: Bad Behavior rejects Google crawlsVersion 2.0.43 works great and I’v been watching it VERY closely for the last 8 days. Get your http:BL Access Key.
and it performs it’s magic. Iv’e yet to see it block a LEGITIMATE SE crawler. PERIOD. NOTE that I said a SE crawler and NOT some data service crawling away or a bot that pretends to be a good guy. Another issue that bugs me is the notion that spam to your email address will increase from that 403 page. Not true.I got all excitied when I saw one of those threat level 76 try it’s thing. YIKES! Never saw a log for a single IP/Visit that large. LOL 🙂
I hope this helps folks understand what the current version does.

No problem. Iv’e bricked a server or two myself. 🙂 Found the CTO on Twitter. Finally a valuable use of a tweet.

@w3edge SEE —> http://tinyurl.com/3vmds4l [W3 Total Cache] Upgraded to 0.9.2 – BROKEN in Firefox 4.0.1 and IE 9 DEFAULTS break sites
Always a little harsh with Tweets but Frederick Townes CTO, I’m on your side of this and happy to help anyway I can. 🙂
NOTE: the uninstall and deleate is pretty clean from what I can see. .htaccess is clean. Left one setting php file in /wp-content and tables are also clean.

Respectfully, I appreciate your tips and myself and others are hardly what you would call plugin newbies, including but not limited to every major caching plugin available. 🙂
Having said this, YOU MISSED the point which is all about default settings. PERIOD. Install and activate. Don’t touch a setting and see how it works.
–> The prior version 0.9.13 worked great out of the box. PERIOD.
—> The latest version 0.9.2 is BROKEN out of the box. PERIOD.
Whatever options you turn on via a default install/activate need to be rock solid and work accross the majority of sites. Unfortunetly, thats NOT the case and although I’m not really a coder, first iompressions are everything.
I would respectfully suggest that if you can’t fix the code then you turn the “minify” options all OFF for a default install and then warn the user. Since they all worked in the prior version perhaps more testing and help accross your user base would be inorder.
Good luck 🙂
OK, I uninstalled and deleated from my site and also sent the developer a contact us form submission. We have plenty of evidence 🙂 from experienced WP GEEKS 🙂

🙂 Fantastic catch. I left Minify enabled so the developer can see it but turning it off is the fix as you pointed out.
Also broken in Safari for the iPhone 3gs – latest os and browser.
Can’t test in IE 8 yet but I’m sure it’s broken.
HOW do I reach the developer directly? I would like to provide a heads up since minify is enabled by default. Hope you saved the previous versions zip?
sorry…The thread title should have said:
