"You May Like"
-
Some observations:
1) A recent addition to the Blogs I Follow list, in the right sidebar, is links to blogs under a heading called You May Like.
I like this idea. However, I have found, to date, many of those blogs are blocked by my very good antivirus/antispyware software that I trust implicitly. Should I keep a list and send them to Support for investigation?
2) In those You May Like choices, I often click onto the delete ‘x’ link if I’ve visited them and I’m not interested. However, those deleted blog-links often appear there again. I’m getting tired of that!

There is no sidebar on the theme (Duotone) on the blog linked to your username. Please post an active link starting with http:// to the exact blog you are referring to.

I believe jmnartsy is talking about the You May Like feature on the Reader. :)
I’ve had the same problem with using the X to remove blogs from the listing. Some come back. I just gave up and for the most part ignore the whole thing now.
About keeping a list, I will “modlook” this so staff can answer that.

@thebirdingbunch
Good catch! Thank you so much for helping and tagging the thread for Staff too. -
The feature itself is not yet 100% complete. Currently, the ‘x’ just ignores the suggestions for now, rather than making a permanent note of their exclusion.
jmnartsy, what are the URLs of the blogs your antivirus software is reporting?
-
@jmnartsy and @thebirdingbunch, thanks for reporting this. In addition to the blogs being reported by antivirus that staff-blorbo requested, it would be helpful to get even just 1-2 examples of blogs that are being recommended to you in “You May Like” after you’ve X’d them. Thanks!
-
staff-blorbo: I have not kept a list, but so far at least six that I can recall. Will keep a list and bring them to you, in this thread, at some point in the future.

@martinremy: Well, for today, here are a couple so far:
Photo Nature Blog (photonatureblog.com), Followed by bloggers you follow.
Imagery of Light (imageryoflight.wordpress.com), You’ve liked posts on this site.
Something is looping….
Would you like more? Cheers! :)

Thanks @jmnartsy, that helps. I was able to confirm that those sites are in your permanent block list, but unfortunately it’s still unclear why they’re showing up anyway. In my own testing, even if I X a large number of recommendations in rapid succession and then refresh the page many times, I can’t get the X’d ones to re-appear.
Looking for more clues … which browser type/version are you using? And if you can think of anything else that would help us track this down, let me know that too (for example, does the looping seem to happen within a short period of X’ing them or much later?). Thanks!

Here’s one from today’s visit on the You May Like choices that needs to be investigated further and is a more serious matter: http://ilikephotoblog.wordpress.com/
They show pix from around the web without direct credit/linking to the original images. I have left a message re theft.
