Bad Behavio(u)r Upgrade

If you’re running Bad Behavio(u)r on your website (as I am) you may find that you’ve been blocked from commenting on your own site (or anyone else’s) today.

It’s a problem with Bad Behavior – and there’s an update out to fix it. (And this is a direct link to the file.) Download it, unzip it, and put the bad-behaviour folder into your site’s wordpress folder in /wp-content/plugins .

And lo, job done and all fixed again.

From the Bad Behaviour blog:

Some people have asked for more details on what exactly happened. In brief, yesterday I moved all of my sites to a new dedicated server. In the process, I decommissioned an old blacklist I was running which I thought wasn’t being used, not realizing that Bad Behavior was still set to use it. Shortly afterward, I found myself locked out of my own blog, just as you all did. So therefore, this release.
