    Have you googled your issue? Or checked the WordPress site for a fix?

    I was having crazy issues with my contact form, but found some code to combat the issue.

    I've got various spam blockers and such in place on my website, but I still get waves of comment spam. Every couple days, I have to go in and delete about 50 or so spam comments. Supposedly there are comment spam-blocking programs you can buy, but I haven't really looked into it that much.

    yeah, same thing - I think we have a spam filter cause it used to catch all this stuff. But the spammers have actually gotten smarter - they now leave spam that looks like comments - but they all say something generic and have a link to some online Viagara website hooked up to their username. It's pretty clever actually. I was baning ip's, but it's looking lik eI could be doing this till I'm blue in the face to no avail.

    There's programs you can incorporate that require a user to enter a code taken from an image. I'v never used one but they're out there.

    ahhh... I've always wondered about having to do that on some sites.
