I think the long standing "remember me" bug has been solved on willy at last. So if you have (had) an account on willy, please login once more with the "remember me" checked.

From now on, your browser will store your credentials, so you dont have to login again.

Otherwise, create an account on willy.

UPDATE: The bug is not resolved, I will upgarde in the next couple of weeks and will migrate to another machine and hope that the issue is solved by that time.

UPDATE: the bug has been solved! Please login with your account and you wontg be loggedout again! (I hope)

The focus of the 4.4 release of drupal is towards usability and userfriendlyness, something drupal has been lacking compared to MT and the likes. I will upgrade my site towards 4.4 or even cvs in the coming weeks, but it's nice to see that Dries has been focusing on a better layout. Some premature screenshots can be found here and here. (note, links are not permanent)

Willy had some //arguments before regarding //movable type vs //drupal. So //basl, will you convert now to drupal? With MT //selling out. Join the friendly world of GNU/OSS and try to see if drupal fits your needs. Loads of //colleagues of //mine //tried it //out.

Join the //GNU revolution!

I moved all weblinks from the "cloud" module towards the more flexible //weblink module. What does this mean for non drupal users? Well, beter weblinks with desciptions, counting click troughs and taxonomy. In the next version it will be like //DMOZ. A directory of links that are monitored.

YES, //drupal (and willy) are growing up; the first spam article on willy has been //posted. The //MT community (way more popular than drupal for unknown reasons) have had //spam for a long time as well as //"solutions" for this misbehave. Drupal doesnt have a anti spam module (yet), but I do think about giving anonymous no rights to post.

The user has the address 208.147.1.1 with is a CIDR block belonging to ... big surprise ... //C&W.

The spam wasn't posted with an automated job, but a real person behind a keyboard (either that or a very smart script emaulting a very stupid user) calling herself Jenny.

According to //google she (?) didnt post a lot with this spam, only 2 messages yet. But google might be cathing up, willy isnt listed yet as well.

This is one of the log entries:

The funny thing is the way "Jenny" (our friend) found willy. "She" is searching for "adding comments blog/forum " on google:

http://www.google.co.th/search?q=blogs+add+a+comment&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&meta= http://www.google.co.th/search?q=Forum+add+a+comment&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=130&sa=N

and because of drupal's [friendly] url's, willy ranks high in both searches.

So dear willy readers. What should we do with this?

• Retract comment posting rights from anonymous users?
• Delete the comment?
• Googlebomb the spammed site?
• Ignore this all together?
• Or do you have a better idea and do you want to post this (anonymous? ;-) )
