I try to post on my guesbook, and 95% of the time it says:
Error: You cannot post to this guestbook at this time!

Of course, since my website hates me, it decided to begin working just as I began posting this message, but what are the reasons that might be causing it to stop working at seemingly random times? Thanks in advance!

Hello yortzec,

It seems that in 95% of the messages you post, you are using words that the Junkmark spamfilter does not like.

You could try setting the $settings['junkmark_limit']=61; in the settings.php file to a higher value.

What browser are you using?
In the past it has been mentioned that using Opera causes a higher Junkmark score which caused the message.

Greetings,
Henrie
I do not monitor the Gbook forums regularly anymore since I do not use the Gbook script myself anymore for a long time. But it helped me a lot in learning to understand php.

Thanks for the reply! I am using FireFox on a Mac, but to be honest, I don't know if the JunkMark score is the problem. As the website is in its early stages, I have deleted a few messages and tried to re-add the exact same message, (for lesser important testing purposes) and it will sometimes add them and sometimes give me an error message. It's very odd.

Aha! I read the sticky and now I realize that it blocks my entire session when I post a message found to be spam. I'll turn up the JunkMark filter. Thanks!
