I'm told by the customer service people at Six Apart, which runs Typepad, that these two chronic borks that I've been dealing with for months and months are supposedly being fixed soon:
o comments immediately going into the spam file, although "moderation" is not turned on, requiring manual fishing and republishing;
o each blog post reposting to feeds each time any comment is posted to an entry -- and reposting several posts in a row often.
This makes it God-awful to read planet.worldofsl.com I surely realize, for myself first and foremost, as I don't like re-reading my posts any more than you do! I have written repeatedly to Tao Takashi and asked him to reset the feed or even turn it off until this is fixed if it bothers people that much but he never answers.
This all started when Six Apart moved to a new compose editor and a new way of handling republishing of blogs. No longer when you change various settings or elements do you have to republish the entire blog all over again yourself, it's happening somewhere in the background. But that process evidently has its bugs. The one big improvement to Typepad is that now it automatically saves your posts as you type, even if you don't consciously save them, like a Word document. That's a HUGE boon because it's uber annoying when you lose a post because your computer crashes or you inadvertently close a window.
