I think Cometdog has been a descent friend to most. Not always but sometimes. But now my blog comments are "awaiting moderation". Wyatt Ray have you walked over to the wild side of monkeydog mania and won't let me post naturally anymore?
AND Mattie Monkeyface thought her sweetheart, Monkeybutt was mad at her because his comments weren't showing up. But they are "awaiting moderation" too! Monkeybutt adores Mattie Monkeyface and no one cares about what those two write so at least let them talk to each other so no one else has to!
AND once last thing...either the site is super slow for me OR I'm getting old and impatient! Am I just getting old or is it slow?
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

Whew. It's not just my computers then. The site the last couple days has been very sluggish. Takes quite a long time to call up the site; and longer to post a comment on the forums (even without having to answer the mathematical questions).

Don't worry, everyone still loves Comet!
Comment moderation is dependent upon each blogger's activated anti-spam plugins and discussion settings. Akismet, however, has recently had some issues with their servers being reachable. (Akismet is the primary anti-spam plugin activated by default for all Tripawds bloggers . It fails if their servers cannot validate our API key.)
A new version of Akismet was recently released which we installed and activated across the Tripawds network. Since the plugin was temporarily missing during this process, new comments are possibly being considered first comments, which on most blogs are held for moderation (the default setting).
We just approved Comet's comment on WRD's post and even approved Monkeybutt's comment on Mattie's blog. Future comments on theose two blogs should be automatically approved. (Feel free to test that theory.) Any other blogs holding your recent comments may still await moderation.
Other than that, if a blogger mistakenly spams one of your comments, future ones may be automatically identifeid as spam. Or as recently happened to Fortis, if a blogger accidentally blacklists the IP address of a commenter, all future comments will be immeduiately trashed. A little power is a dangerous thing.
So, if anyone has concerns about their comments not being approved, please provide as much information as possible – which blog, what comment, when, etc. – and we'll look into it for you.
Regarding site performance... "slow" is relative and may be affected by anything from server loads or local network issues, to an overloaded browser cache. There have been a couple times recently, like during our live chats or when we're performing backups and upgrades, when http requests may have been affected, but overall system health is good and performing as expected.

Thank you for update!
It really doesn't seem to coincide with live chats or high traffic for me. It's all day.
When I click a link to get into the post, it take about 12 seconds for it to load. And the avatars are trailing by 10 seconds at least! And when I save a post, sometime it's okay but most of the time I think it's going to time out - upwards of 30 seconds to save it.
On Wyatt's blog, it took about 1 minute for his pics to show up.
It started with that 'Fatal Error' Avatar problem (that was the message I got when the avatars went MIA)
But I'm glad I'm not on Santa's naught list!

Painfully slow! For the past two weeks it has been this way for me.

You are oh so naughty. I hope you are looking forward to the Great Big Sack of Coal you will receive in FOUR days!
I bet MonkeyButt and MonkeyFace are going to cleanup bigtime with Wyatt Ray Santa Paws this year!
Just sayin'! 
Okay, that WAS pretty durn slow (more than 33 sec I'd say)
But like Cometdog, I am getting old (in fact one full year older tomorrow!)
Looks like there will be lots of coal spread all around to warm the tripawd houses this holiday season.
Fair Warning: We'll be doing some database maintenance and and doing some options tweaking to try and address the performance issue, so things may seem to get even worse at times, before they get better. Stay tuned...
Since this topic no longer has anything to do with it's title we'll consider it closed and will start a new one regarding performance when we have anything to report. Thank you for your patience.
