DrewMc asked a question in Google on June 12, 2009 23:10:

Can't reactivate my adwords account, as it will not take any credit card!

I am trying to reactivate my adwords account. When I click the reactivate link, it asks for my credit card. When I enter the card info and submit it IMMEDIATELY replies "Card Declined."


It does not seem it could possibly have tried the card that fast. I have tried several credit cards from several different browsers and always get the same result. I contacted my credit card company, and they say they are not declining the charge (and verified they are not even receiving the request).

To make matters worse, when I finally found the support request form (here), it will not accept any text in the summary box. AAARGH!

Can anyone help?

Can I order the page links in my topnav and footer?

I'm using the 'Professional Website' template set. Is there a way to change the order of the items in my topnav and footer? I have added some pages and given them the @topnav and @footer tags. They now appear in the topnav and footer, but not in the order I would like. Is there a way to influence their order?

In my experience, the SMS notification usually arrives before the MMS message is actually ready to view on viewmymessage.com. If it does not work at first, try again a little later. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, but I have had it take up to 24 hours. LAME.

Until iPhone 3.0 arrives with MMS support, I suggest you use the app MMS Buddy. It helps make this a tiny bit less painful.

We have multiple iPhones in the family, and one is consistently having this problem. Sometimes voicemails will not arrive for hours (and occasionally many hours) after they are recorded.

iPhone has been updated (including carrier update) and synced and restarted. Any ideas?

Fixed. It was a permissions problem with the file mt-cp.cgi.

I'd like to be able to receive "New Story" emails for only certain projects.

I love the "Receive 'New Story' emails" feature. But I am a member of a lot of different projects, and my involvement in them varies. I'd love to be able to select the projects for which I want to receive them. Just a list of checkboxes, maybe.

Thanks!

Adding Google Analytics to Movable Type?

I want to add Google Analytics to my MT site at http://road3.com.

I found a page in the docs for this <http://www.movabletype.org/documentat...>, but the page is blank!

So here is what I did:

- Added a template module called "Google Analytics".
- Pasted my GA.js code snippet in there all by itself.
- Added a line of code to the bottom my Footer template: "<$mt:Include module="Google Analytics"$>"

That appears to have worked. Is there a better way or anything I am missing?

Replacing the standard feed on Movable Type with a Fedburner feed?

How can I replace the standard feed on my MT blog with a feedburner feed?

I was excited to find a page in the docs about this <http://www.movabletype.org/documentat...>, but then disappointed that the page was blank (!).

My site is at http://road3.com. I burned the feed, and got a feedburner feed, then I placed a .htaccess file on the server that reads:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
RewriteRule ^index\.xml$ http://feeds2.feedburner.com/road3 [R,L]
RewriteRule ^atom\.xml$ http://feeds2.feedburner.com/road3 [R,L]

That seems to sometimes work in Firefox and IE, but not Safari.

Any suggestions? Am I going about this all wrong? Seems like there should be an easier way.

Getting 500 error on signin

Visit my site at http://road3.com and click the signin link. You'll see the spinner momentarily, and then boom! 500 Internal Server Error.

I tried reinstalling, but no change.

mt-check runs OK: "Movable Type System Check Successful. You're ready to go! Your server has all of the required modules installed; you do not need to perform any additional module installations.

I re-uploaded mt-static/mt.js. No change.

I do not have any AdminScript referenced in my mt-config.cgi.

This is an installation of MTPro 4..25 (en) on a DreamHost server. Everything else seems to be working ok.

I am completely puzzled. Thanks for any ideas...
