When I restored after my first failed upgrade attempt, it was unable to rebuild those tables so 1.2.2 returned errors in certain areas of the admin panel. And yes, $200 is a lot of money. I freely admit to spending more money on my blog than the rest of my site combined and I don't relish the thought of spending more money on it. Plus I'm really comfortable with WP. I've been using it for a long time. Aside from the spam issue it handles all of my needs perfectly. *sigh* I’ve contemplated that, but with the upgrade to 1.5 a few tables in the database were deleted because they’re no longer necessary.

Because it's true, I get almost none. And $200's a lot of money! Have you considered going back to 1.2.2? Because it’s true, I get almost none. And $200’s a lot of money!

Yesterday I had 100 pieces, today almost 200. It's a backdoor issue with 1.5, but no one on the forums can tell me what it is. They can only recommend different plug-ins that work with varying effectiveness. By that I mean they either moderate every single comment so even legitimate commenters can't post or they don't work and let the spam come through anyway. I'm just about to switch to Expression Engine, I swear. This is far more trouble than it's worth. (And that's saying something since EE is $200) I can’t speak for everyone, but when I had 1.2.2 installed, I got no spam. Yesterday I had 100 pieces, today almost 200.

That's supposed to kill spam. If it doesn't, maybe upgrading is not my answer. :???: Thought you just upgraded to WP 1.5? That’s supposed to kill spam.

But with the default version, and the Gemini one I'm using now, I've had two spam messages. And I don't have any spam stuff. *knocks on wood* *twice* Hopefully going weapons grade medieval will help you! Let’’s see if I can trip a trigger. :razz:
