    As of 2 days ago, i’m getting all comments marked as “Pending Spam Review” and Akismet appears to have stopped working. Selecting Akismet on the dashboard gives me a blank page. JetPack 3.0.2

    I’ve just cleared out 165 spam comments received today by hand.

    I don’t have short Akismet plugin cited as the problem in a recent note. I’m using the Typo theme on this site (www.ianwaring.com). Akismet is the only plugin active on the site. Any ideas?

    Site is getting unusable now – just being spammed to death with an inert (paid) Akismet subscription. This is on one site on my Multisite network (the only one where I have Akismet active – I have comments shut off on all the other sites). Any ideas what I should look for?

    Getting a blank Akismet page when I select the dashboard option for it. Source code suggests content should be there, but not showing for some reason – and spam is just getting through unprocessed. Not sure where I go next with this… so any guidance or pointers most welcome.

    Can you replicate the problem using the default Twenty Fourteen theme with all other plugins deactivated?

    Overnight, the a Typo theme upgraded to 1.01 and normal service appears to have resumed. I also suspect a network issue was present at Digital Ocean, as RSS feeds from WordPress to the dashboard appeared to be timing out prior to the fix, and JetPacks Social Sharing functionality was asking me to revalidate my Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+ connections on every blog post attempt.

    Hence, all fixed. Thank you.
