Hi all,

I have installed and set-up the PHP guestbook on my site (URL above) and it all seems to be working fine apart from for my aunt in Cyprus.

Whenever she tries to post a message on the guestbook, she gets an error saying "error, cannot submit your comment at this time"

She is running off of IE8 on Vista Home Premium, yet I have had that tested by other people and it seems to be working fine for them.

Could this be an issue with her language settings on her browser? Has anyone heard of this before?

Thanks in advance everyone.

I have been speaking to the person who is trying to put stuff on and we have found a weird quirk ...

This specific paragraph keeps crashing the guestbook:

You have no idea how much me and Laura are looking forward to your wedding....looks like I'll have to get my dancing shoes on again....xxxx

Can anyone work out why that might crash the whole guestbook???

Hi all,

Bit of an addition, the error is coming up in this line of the language.inc.php file:

$lang['e01']='You cannot sign this guestbook at this time!';

Does this mean I need to have a language file for Greek? If so, how do I add this to my guestbook?

Hello Simon,

It is the JunkMark spam filter that is causing this error. I pinpointed it down to the word shoes.

I don't know why this would cause the error, but i am (almost) sure Klemen can fix the spamfilter to not kick in on this word.

You can also try setting the value for $settings['junkmark_limit']=61; in the settings.php value to a higher value so it does not gets triggered so fast.

greetings,
Henrie

Hi Henrie,

Thanks for your post. I was just coming on to say that we just found it was the JunkYard filter ... we've upped the quota and now it's working fine

Thanks for your advice ... How random that it's the word shoes that was making all the problems!!!

Fixed this bug in the spam filer. You can now:

1. download gbook again
2. upload gbook.php and banned_ip.txt to your server over the old one
3. close all browser windows
4. see if it works

At first i thought it would be the xxxx causing the problems. But i got still banned when posting without it, so that made me curious as to what triggered the spam filter.

And thank you Klemen, for fixing the spam filter.

Greetings,
Henrie
