4289 comments, but not really

Something is very strange. All of the articles on our site: www.jalalabad.us say that they have 4289 comments. Yesterday they said 4077. Thing is, they don't really have that many. I know I have anonymous posting enabled, and we're getting spammed on some threads, but that's not the case with these. I'm running 1.3.7sr2. Anyone seen anything like this?"

You have more than a few of those porn spam comments. You will need to go into the database and delete them there. You should also turn off anonymous comments until you get those couple thousand out of there and you install SpamX. 1.3.7 is very vulnerable to comment spammers.

If you look at your site stats you have 2346323 comments in your system and a ton of them are probably on older articles.

I went through tis every day until we got the SpamX plugin installed and working.

Good luck,
Keystone

You're playing with fire here. The minimum version of Geeklog that anyone should run ist 1.3.7sr5 plus the comment fix from here.

Better yet: Upgrade to 1.3.9sr1.

bye, Dirk
