Due to an overwhelming amount of guestbook spam I am working on a more secure way of handling guest posting. In the meantime I have made some adjustments to the gray theme to see if the spam posts can be stopped. I have saved your old posts, so they can be replaced if you like once I get this sorted out.
Thanks for your patience...
Ron |

Good idea unproject... I need to add a section for 'admin messages' to the login page... I'll add that to the todo list!!!
You've always got smart ideas! |

This is a good thing to do. The spammers are ruining a good thing. I just deleted about 20 more from my guestbook. |

I know Erick (guitarman) has been deleting messages as well, but I was really bummed out to see all of my entries gone....what happened to them??! Is this one of the issues going on too or is this something completely new and different? |

bssgrl... I saved the old guestbooks, so you will be able to get your messages back.
I am testing some new fixes to hopefully minimize or eliminate all the spam posts that have been running rampant through the site. Once this has been dealt with, I can add back individual guestbooks to their prior state.... I know it's an inconvenience, but the spam was just killing us....
I should have fixes in place by this weekend, then we can see who needs their old guestbooks back.
