My Pligg site has been running fine for weeks, but now when I submit a new story it says "URL is invalid or blocked" every time. I researched this thoroughly on the forum, and have turned off URL validation, but the problem persists. I installed the Blackbot 2 and Scarecrow modules last night, configuring them per the instructions, and that's when this problem started.

Did anyone else run into this when they installed Blackball/Scarecrow?

Thanks.

I also get this error. New install of RC4. It happens whenever I (or anyone) attempts to submit a story via the bookmarklet. It is the wistie template.

I have pligg version 1.1.4 and am having this same difficulty. I installed faviconic the night before this issue started. I have turned off the url validation in the config and am still having the same problem.

I have several sites submitting perfectly, but also a couple who report this same problem. Have been asking and getting no real help either.

Same thing: url validation is turned off. I know the sites getting the error have ZERO problems submitting to non-pligg sites like Digg, N4G, etc.

The faviconic module does not modify anything with the submission process. I can assure you of that.
Please provide a link to your site along with a test account username and password.

Please provide a list of urls so we can take a look.

you can login using the information I've provided in my profile at the store. As far as url's: espn.go.com, foxsports.com etc etc. newspapers like latimes.com, and other sites such as bleacherreport.com, yardbarker.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a user error.
Look in your local-antispam.txt file.
