Background info:
This problem developed before my recent upgrade to 3.35, which I had hoped would remedy the behavior, but it didn't. I'm using software installed by myself (had worked fine before), and it's running over at Dreamhost.

Problem:
When I go to the settings for my blog, regardless of "systemwide" or "individual", MT goes into a loop when I look at any of the settings for SpamLookup. I had been able to successfully modify the settings before, but now just looking at them gives MT a fit. After looking at the settings, when I click another button in the MT interface (comments, templates, search, to name a few) it just reloads the Plugins page. However, I can escape this by clicking on "new entry" or "upload a file".

Ideas:
Perhaps it's a problem with permissions because I cannot save any changes made to Spamlookup. But I cannot find the culprit file. Any help would be appreciated--I need to add some spam words!

What other plugins do you have installed(all of them), and are you running MT under FastCGI?

I've seen Better File Uploader do this under FastCGI, if you happen to be running it. The issue should be fixed with the most recent release.

I am running Better File Uploader Version 2.0frc, a beta version that the author installed because I could not for the life of me get it working right during the beta test period. For a guy who started using linux in 1993 it still troubles me!

I assume BFU2 is the culprit based on your reply (I'm also running FastCGI) and will tackle that issue and later report back on my limited set of extra plugins if the problem persists.

Thanks so much for your reply!


EDIT:
Looks like the issue was split between BFU2 being owned by a user other than myself and the fact I was running FastCGI. I updated to BFU v2.1 and made sure the FastCGI wasn't being used for BFU2 as well. All works, thanks for the tip on where to look.
