one more thing…
I did check phpMyAdmin to see if the posts are all in there – they are.
I’m having the same problem…I understand what you wrote about comments being marked as spam whether or not Akismet is the one marking them, but I don’t have any other spam catcher activated in my blog. Where does wordpress put spammed comments when there is no spam catcher?
Are you still having problems playing the wimpyplayer?
