In reply to: Pinging questionThe original question wasn’t about pingbacks or trackbacks, it was about “pinging” a directory like weblogs.com to let it know your site has been updated.
weblogs.com and blo.gs are hard-coded into WP 1.0, but there are other sites (rootblog.com, for instance) that work on the same principle, often via the same mechanism. The feature Sushubh mentioned sounds like it, assuming you can set multiple URIs and not just one.Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Disable Texturize for certain browsersSounds fair. When I have a chance I’ll see what I can do.

In reply to: Comments not emailing?The bounces I got earlier referred me to http://www.pobox.com/bounce-badfrom.mhtml which cites RFC 2822 as their justification.
Here’s what I did. Just before the infamous line 111 I added:
$comment_from_email = $comment_author_email;
if( $comment_author_email == ”) {
$comment_from_email = $admin_email;
}
Then I replaced $comment_author_email on the next line with $comment_from_email
This may have nothing to do with the problems ginadapooh is having, but at least it will help in some cases.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Validation problem, ‘ in title turns into ?Thanks! At first I was worried that this might break HTML in titles (I’ve used italics from time to time), but it looks OK – and now it both validates and shows up in Netscape 4! (Don’t laugh, I have friends who are still stuck on it because their computers are too old to run anything newer.)

In reply to: Validation problem, ‘ in title turns into ?I’m seeing this same problem on all posts with an apostrophe in the title.
I’ve confirmed by commenting out the texturize line in b2vars.php that the actual posts contain plain old ordinary ASCII apostrophes. Somehow the_title (or more likely, convert_chars) is converting it to the actual character instead of the entity.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comments not emailing?I just noticed this on my own site – it seems that WordPress is assuming that the comment author is including an email address (which can be made optional). This results in a From line like “From: So-And-So <>” which is invalid, and some mail servers will reject mail on this basis.
IIRC, B2 used to use its own admin address to send all notifications, regardless of whether the comment author provided an address. Perhaps WordPress should use this as a fallback?
