Javascript is required to submit a comment." which is occuring sporadically when comments are submitted. Seems odd that it does not happen all of the time. I have 5 separate wordpress blogs running on one online server and one offline server, all using spam bam, and this is only occuring on one of the online server blogs. This error has happened to one of my contributors a few times and just now happened to me. All pc's involved have java running. I wanted to check to see if you thought the code in the 4th comment above would work!? My error code does not include all the other 'Warnings' that Gary posted. I've used spam bam on my other blogs for quite some time now with great effect! I found this thread searching for this error string, “We don’t allow comment spam here.

You could try a run a find and replace the following lines:- FIND: 1. $_SESSION['spambam_result'] = ''; 2. return join("",$_SESSION['spambam_result']); 3. $_SESSION['spambam_result'] = $randomJS->result; REPLACE: 1. global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['spambam_result'] = ''; 2. global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; return join("",$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['spambam_result']); 3. global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['spambam_result'] = $randomJS->result; Hi Gary

It appears that your server doesn’t support sessions or uses a old method of sessions. You could try a run a find and replace the following lines:-

FIND:
1. $_SESSION['spambam_result'] = ”;
2. return join(”",$_SESSION['spambam_result']);
3. $_SESSION['spambam_result'] = $randomJS->result;

REPLACE:
1. global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['spambam_result'] = ”;
2. global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
return join(”",$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['spambam_result']);

3. global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['spambam_result'] = $randomJS->result;

If you insert <code> $counter = get_option('spambam_spam_count'); $counter = $counter + 1; update_option( 'spambam_spam_count', $counter ); </code> after <code>sleep(SPAMBAM_SPAMMER_DELAY);</code> we can have "Spambam has blocked x spams since installed" within our themes... it's a cool way of show how effective each plugin is :) Hi there,
I’d like to suggest a feature, if you check my site you’ll see in the footer I like to show how much spam plugins block.

If you insert
<code>
$counter = get_option(’spambam_spam_count’);
$counter = $counter + 1;
update_option( ’spambam_spam_count’, $counter );
</code>
after
<code>sleep(SPAMBAM_SPAMMER_DELAY);</code>

we can have “Spambam has blocked x spams since installed” within our themes… it’s a cool way of show how effective each plugin is :)
