So I should uninstall the akismet? Should I not reinstall the ad mod since it is working?

Arantor

You won't be able to reinstall it, because if you attempt it the install will fail since the modifications have already been made.

My advice to you, as I've already said, is to start COMPLETELY FRESH from the Large Upgrade package which will remove every mod. Then, and only then, install the mods you want.

You mean install the latest version of SMF? Will my alien nation theme work on it? Will akismet work on it?

Arantor

I don't know, I've never used or tested either. That said, the answer is "Probably, on both counts".

Since the ad mod is working, how can I get akismet to work? I don't have all kinds of free time to make major page changes.

Arantor

Without knowing what the problem with Akismet is, and knowing full well that it has been a problem for a while, I can't really help.

The mod is unsupported by even its author now.

shadowravenhawk

Is there another spam mod that I can put in?

Arantor

Several. Try searching the mod site for 'spam'.

shadowravenhawk

what one would you recommend? I don't have all kinds of time to make numerous page changes

Arantor

I personally use Stop Spammer.

How do I get akismet out? It is still listed in packages in the server

Arantor

Is it listed as installed? If so, uninstall it, THEN delete it.
