Anyone else having trouble with the trackback tool? It always takes me several tries before it works.

But love the Carnival and appreciate that the trackback tool is even available.

Yeah, it doesn’t work for me, either. Unfortunate.

Kevin, copy the trackback ID by clicking on the paw print icon instead of copying the ID provided in the trackback tool pop-up window.

I just got redirected to Microsoft.com when I submitted a trackback via the tool. Weird!

Crap, crap, crap…

The popup screen had the wrong URL for the trackback module. I renamed that CGI script to throw a monkey wrench at trackback spammers, but forgot to update the text file I use for the popup. It’s fixed now, and the template will be correct for next week.

In the spirit of being a complete PITA, the Roman number for 19 is XIX.

The reason I know that is because our local Channel 19 is WXIX.
