This is the second time in the last two weeks that I’ve lost a long post that I was working on just a bit before I was going to click the "Publish" button. Somehow, it seems to happen in between the auto-saves and, yes, I AM too dumb to remember to manually hit "Save" every 5 mins.
Also, the Akismet spam filter is getting annoying… I’m being asked twice a day now to manually flag absurd random spam posts which any spam catcher should be able to recognize.
WP and I have come a long way, but our relationship is going through some difficulties now. We’ll get through this, I’m sure.
I’ve been having this problem too! With comment spam, now unfiltered, on wordpress.
Mike I just found Hashcash, so I’m giving it a shot: http://wordpress-plugins.feifei.us/hashcash/
