  For the past few days I’ve been getting the message that “Akismet has detected a problem” and a lot of spam comments aren’t being filtered out. The link to “akismet configuration” gives a “this page does not exist” response. As I get a *lot* of spam (hundreds every day), having to delete all these comments manually is very tedious.
  Thanks for any help.

  Hi there,

  Thanks for the report. I’ll let our developers know about the issue and get back as soon as I have more info. It looks like Akismet has been able to catch a handful of spam comments like this one:

  Did you trash all of the comments that you manually had to mark as spam?
