Is the Blacklist supposed to work with the Gallery module? Partial IPs do not seem to work, I still to confirm more definitely whether I am also having issues with exact IPs.

Linda,
What version and build of EEa re you using?
Are you using any extensions?
The Blacklist is intended to work with any user submitted information throughout the site
What have you found in your testing? Is this for gallery comments?
Have you got an example of the IPs?

Hi,
I am sorry for not getting back to you right off. We ended up with such a deluge of spam that we had to turn on writing the blacklist to .htaccess and this does seem to have cut into it somewhat. However, that means we haven’t been able to test specifically whether the Gallery honours the blacklist settings.
Version and build is otherwise 1.6.8 Build: 20090723.

It should. Is it not working as expected?
