  • On two separate wordpress 2.5.1 blogs, with two different sets of users, I have recently had problems with comments retroactively being sent to akismet’s spam queue.

    The first blog was about a week ago, and after looking at a screen full of 100% spam, those were marked as spam. After logging back in an hour later, three other comments from the previous three days were lost, and then found in the akismet spam file.

    Then today, on a second blog, a half dozen people marked one or two items each in the approval queue as spam. At a certain point I realized that about a dozen comments from the last two to three days were missing; I found them in the akismet spam file.

    In both instances, the comments that got moved to the akismet spam file had previously been approved and published. In both instances, both comments and pingbacks were included. This is inexplicable to me.

    … Possibly related, I noticed in trying to go through the akismet spam file today, that no matter which page I clicked on, I just got the same page of comments. The screen displayed “page <I>n<I>” and the URL is calling “&apage=7” as if I was looking at page 3 of 9, or page 5 of 9, or whatever, but the results were the same no matter what.

    Thoughts?
