I decided to upgrade my Movable Type installation when I noticed I was getting comment-spammed last night, and read that 3.2 had much better spam controls. In the process, I noticed a bunch of spam trackbacks on the Man of India post.
This has been a mildly frustrating experience, to say the least. After a whole lot of trial and error, I seem to have gotten things swinging again, but my comments have disappeared from my MT interface (though they're still on the entries), and I can do everything (so far) but rebuild my site (without fail, I get a 500 error). Which means those porn spam trackbacks are still there. Aaarrgh!
I removed the trackbacks directly from the code for the individual page. Apologies to anyone reading this that happens to be a fan of midget and tranny porn, as those links have been removed.
Any help with the rebuild site issue is appreciated, and sorry for the geek post.
