working again!
Hell yeah, I’m back.
I returned from Glacier Park a week ago to find that I had unintentionally exceeded my disk space on my server, oh, around the evening of the previous Saturday (Sept. 4). So not only did I not receive about five days worth of e-mails (which, if there had been disk space, would’ve been sitting happily on my server waiting for me), but my whole MT comments database was royally corrupted. I lost about a week’s worth of comments, including all the comments on the Cure show, thoughts on the RNC, Olympics, etc. That wouldn’t have been so bad if after restoring some disk space, comments worked going forward, but they didn’t.
So I wiped my whole MT clean (saving my template code, of course) and installed MT 3.1. I even installed the new version of MT Blacklist to deal with comment spam. The two things I can’t figure out are: 1)how to get TypeKey working right, and 2)how to set up my blog file extensions as php (it’s not working to just enter “php” within MT config), but I’m not going to worry about those things for now. Comments work again! Later today I’ll catch up with what’s been going on in life outside Movable Type.

I’ve been fighting with this as well. Tried upgrading my backup site - and it failed. Reloaded from scratch and it had problems. I wanted to get the backup site working smoothly before attempting to upgrade the main site. I applaud you - I am nervous of taking the leap.
One thing that seems permanently lost is “Email this entry.” I see it’s not working on your site either. I can’t get mt’s version to work either.
Good job, and I appreciate how much work this upgrade has been.

I have had something weird happen. I received 3 emails from you server responding to a blog post entitled “Ni!” and another one. I saved them just in case, you know, you want to try to figure that one out.
HI! How’s it goin! bummer about all that weird crap, but I’m glad you had an awesome time in Glacier!
Love you!
