 * I just upgraded to 2.7 and now I keep getting comments from my regular visitors
   that require me to approve them. My settings under discussions are all off, so
   this shouldn’t be happening. Any reason why this would have changed since I did
   the upgrade?

 * I think I figured this out. I use the Custom Smilies plugin, and I think 2.7 
   is treating each smiley as a link. I changed the “Hold a comment in the queue
   if it contains” setting to 20 links and it seems to be fine now. I’d prefer to
   be able to keep it at 2 like it used to be though so I’ll be making a comment
   to the plugin author about this.

 * I have the exact same problem. I am using “WP Wall” as chat and want to enable
   smilies but disable links. Any suggetions????
