Hi James,
First off, thanks for you work on this plug-in. Blogs hope to live peacefully and relatively spam-free because of your work.

Originally, I was writing this comment in response to splitting the original plug-in to three, but my comment was rejected from that post (even though comments weren’t supposed to be closed until September 1).

Although I would have voted for separating the plug-ins as well (at least from a feature management perspective), I’m shuddering at the thought of other plug-ins in my arsenal doing the same. My dashboard is already clogged with too many plug-ins as it is, but I have difficulty letting any of them go.

Anyhow, thanks again and keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Dan

OK I’ve fixed the bug and the new version is now available for download.

Thanks. No problem at all with waiting a week for you to do more free work for us…

Thanks — I had noticed something similar on one of my own posts just the other day but I haven’t had time to investigate yet. Unfortunately I am just about to go away for the week, but I will take a look at it when I get back.

First, thanks for the plug-in. There seems to be an odd problem with the alpha version, but it’s an alpha version, so that’s OK.

It looks like it is working, but I’m still getting spam on an old post. Only one old post, though, which is peculiar. Specifically, this one:

http://www.davidchart.com/nihongo/2006/05/16/22/

(Yes, the blog is in Japanese. The “Comments are closed” message is still in English, though.) My Akismet spam queue has 15 spam comments in, all linked to this post, and all posted since I installed the plugin.

There was one post that was getting hit by a lot of spam, so I manually set it to comments closed. It *may* have been this one, but it was some time ago, so I simply don’t remember. However, that’s the only thing I can think of that could make this post different from the others. If so, it had comments set to closed when I installed and activated the plugin.

Installation details:
WordPress 2.2.1
Comment Timeout 2.0alpha1
PHP 4.3.11
MySQL 4.0.27-standard
Akismet is the only other active plugin.

Thanks again for the plugin.
