You need to go into the new directory and change the name of the theme in the style.css file. Otherwise it doens’t show up in the admin panel. I had the same problem when I downloaded the soft launch version.

I just noted that the code formatting cut off the end of the function in question. It should be line 160 on functions-post.php

Whoops ! Serves me right for not searching first. Thank you ! I should no better. Put it down to a New Year’s hangover !…. =}

I’m using the authimage hack myself (captcha) and I have to say it has reduced my comment spam from about 175 to 0 (no joke!) posts a week. I’m really lurving it.

I’d be interested to know if you have a similar experience.

Someone also mentioned merely changing the comments posting code to include an extra checkbox for something like, “this is what I want to post”… etc. Messes up the robots/zombies that are being used to post the comment spam.

You know, I have eliminated the spam completely on my site for everything that appears to be zombie/robot related. I simply added in a captcha (authorization graphic) for inputting comments in my site and my spam went from about 175 a day to zero. No joke. I **lurv** captcha.

I know it won’t help me with human posters of craptacular spam and such (which the default 1.2.2 moderation thingy picks up) but the comment spam was stressing me aout enough to really lower the enjoyment I was getting out of my site (more maintenance == less writing == me more unhappy).

I’d recommend it to most people. There is a reason so many sites use the captcha approach.
