Beachbum – not sure. The error you’ve got sounds like a non-standard WP error to me, but I can’t be certain. I am not much of an expert at WP, try asking on their website.

I tried your tip, but it says
beachbum_blog.wp_comments repair error Can’t find file: ‘wp_comments.MYI’ (errno: 2)

What to do? Please email me, quite desperate to solve this!

Cheers

And then BOTH of you get Spam Karma 2 to run alongside Akismet. Works a treat for me.

Ads, I know what you mean.

Go into wp-admin > Options > Discussion > Turn ON Comment author must have a previously approved comment

This at least removes them publicly. Then just login to your wp-admin every few days to Mark as spam and approve where needed.
