Previously, due to a never-ending stream of comment spam, every comment submitted to the site had to be manually approved by the web site administrator before it would appear on the corresponding post. This was the reason why comments could take a long time to appear.

As of today comments submitted by people who have already had at least one approved should appear more or less instantly on the site. Note that this requires that you use the same name and email address each time you submit a comment.

I’m also trying to arrange for Twitter tweets to be sent to the ACAMUG twitter account whenever a new comment appears on the site but at the moment the only available web site plug-ins that support it seem to be broken. I’ll keep trying.
