Mood: 
I noticed that comments on this blog weren’t being e-mailed to me a few months ago but the Smart Unread Comments were picking them up just fine. Then Puck noticed that his latest comment wasn’t appearing on the index page [”Comments (0)”] but showed fine on the page for the post itself.
Was finally able to find something on it online: Spam Karma was somehow invalidating the comments on the index page but not on the post page. Solution: upgrade Spam Karma. I chose instead to uninstall it (because that’s just silly) and use Askimet, but there’s no way to fix the old comments. New ones appear just fine.
Testing…
Yeah, I’ve been using Askimet since Wordpress 2.0 and it’s great.
