The traffic to the API on this server has increased by 60% this year and is growing at an exceptional (nearly exponential) rate. Each new blog means at least 5 more requests to deal with every day. With thousands of new members each month, it’s starting to get pretty hard for my entry level 2gb server to deal with the load.

I have had to put in some cacheing of the last blog post requests. Right now, members have their return list cached for 1 hour and non-members are cached for 24 hours. This means if you make a new post on your site, it wont show up in your return list until the cache has expired.

If you click the little arrow next to the post that is shown from your site while you’re commenting, you will be able to see if the return list is cached and for how long.

I hope this will reduce the amount of work my server has to do, if it starts misbehaving when you comment on commentluv enabled sites then please let me know!

      thanks for your feedback Rob, I love what you’ve done with the comic press theme. I may be installing that to comluv blogs with the comicpress manager plugin as a premium feature. Happy to give you a free package if you fancy creating a comic on this site?

    Hey Andy, over the last couple of days I notice that it’s not picking up my posts anymore and I get an error instead. It does work if I use one of my other blogs, but not wassup. It’s says banned for having three feed errors, but it’s the same feed I always use???

    Thanks for your hard job fixing Comluv problem. May GBU ^^

    Hi I’m still trying to unban myself and it doesn’t seem to be working. When I click the commentluv icon responding to comments on my own site it says, “bad juju happened…” Any ideas?

      if you’re responding to comments on your own site and you’re getting that error, it’s probably because you haven’t got a value set in your profile for website.
      visit your own dashboard and go to ‘your profile’ and enter in your url in the website field. Commentluv uses that value for logged on users because there is no url field that shows on a logged on comment form.

  9. My responses seem to be getting cached for 24 hours. I signed up for commentluv which I thought meant I get a 1 hour cache, but that hasn’t happened. Is there something else I should be doing?

    Also, the banned for 3 feed errors – happens to me every few days. I keep submitting and getting cleared, but it just comes back.

    I’m not saying this to be complainy, I’m just not very knowledgeable in this area so I’m wondering if there is a mistake that I’m making somewhere.

    Thanks!

    Mine was working fine until the last week. Now when I type in my website, it says, “no last blog posts to return.” I can’t figure out why.

    Hi,

    I seem to have a problem with my site. When I post a comluv enabled comment the comment does not appear at all.

    I checked the banned list and it said: URL not in banned table Not in errors table.

    Everything seems to be in order in the site itself.

    What do you suggest I do now?

    Regards,

    Joe

      you have to make sure that you’re leaving quality comments and adding value to the post by talking about it. Try to spell your words correctly too, nothing looks spammy like bad grammar and spelling in a comment
