When I try to post a comment, the screen I'm taken to has this message: WordPress database error: [Lost connection to MySQL server during query] SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = 'jimmylonewolf' WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away] SELECT post_status, comment_status FROM wp_posts WHERE ID = '4620' "JimmyLoneWolf" is my screenname for Libertas (the website that uses your program). Does this message indicate the problem you discuss above? Or is it something else? Sorry it took me so long to get to the point, but i just can't figure out why this is happening. Every other site lets me post with no problems. Any help would be much appreciated. Jim Dr. Dave,

WordPress database error: [Lost connection to MySQL server during query]

WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away]

“JimmyLoneWolf” is my screenname for Libertas (the website that uses your program).
Does this message indicate the problem you discuss above? Or is it something else?

I never got a "spam" message, I simply can't post comments, and I'm wondering if its because the SITE is manually blocking my comments (its a Conservative site and I'm not a Conservative). I'll take up my question with the site's "editor" (who I'm sure is also the administrator). Sorry for the misunderstanding. Jim Dr. Dave,

Unfortunately, I recently purchased a new computer and do not have Microsoft Office. I DO have an email address (caroljim2000@comcast.net) but I cannot access it or send emails at this time. I registered with Libertas on my old computer, which is no longer online. The problem I am having is that whenever I try to post a comment I'm directed to an "invalid syntax error" saying the page cannot be displayed. When I try to post the comment again, it tells me my comment is a duplicate and has already been posted. I'm not sure if this is the same as the "spamming" problem you described. But I'm not sure who the "site administrator" is (you don't identify him by name) ot how to contact him without email. I'm afraid this has become a "read only" site to me, which is a shame since its a great site and I'd love to get involved in the discussion. If you can, leave a comment after mine (since I can't receive any emails...which may actually be the problem now that I think about it) and I'll follow whatever advice you have. Thanks for your help, Jim Dr. Dave,
