Comment Spam
Some TypePad weblogs have received spam messages in their comments recently. We're doing our best to work on technical solutions to this problem, and to help combat it we are currently testing some possible solutions on TypePad.
If you or your visitors experience any problems leaving legitimate comments, please notify us through the Help Ticket system.
Additionally, we are working on improved comment management to make it easier for you to manage the comments that you receive on your weblog.

TypePad Improvements
Today's new release of TypePad brings the following improvements.
"Post succeeded" messages can now be disabled when moblogging
You can now disable the "Post succeeded" confirmation messages that TypePad sends when you post to your weblog or photo album from your mobile phone. The new option to turn off these messages is on the Control Panel - Profile - Mobile Settings screen.
Weblog banner images are now links
The banner image on your weblog is now a link back to the front page of your weblog. If you're using a banner image, you'll need to go to the "Design" tab of your weblog and click the "Publish" button, then select "Publish all files".
Support for moblogging from Sprint PCS; improved support for Verizon Wireless
We've added support for moblogging photos from Sprint PCS phones. We now also detect photos sent from Verizon Wireless and remove the advertising and header and footer images that were recently introduced by Verizon.
