Is it possible in MT2.64 to pull up a listing of all comments, similar to the "Edit Entries" function? If so, I haven't been able to figure it out yet and am worried I am missing something obvious. Thanks.

1 John, you can do it, but the easiest way is to pull it on the MT Blacklist page, instead of on your admin page.

Go to http://blog.mu.nu/cgi/mt-blacklist.cgi when you are signed in.

Click on the DeSpam link at the top of the page, then use the radio buttons and drop-down list to tell Blacklist that you want to see the X most recent comments on your blog. (You can also list trackbacks the same way.)

Normally, this is used to find comments containing a particular spam word or regexp, but the 3rd option will give you a listing of all comments, with info about the commenter, Ip address, URL etc., along with a checkbox to select if you want to easily delete specific comments.

Does that get you what you need?

2 It's available under MT 3.1, but there are reasons why we haven't moved to 3.1... Reasons unlikely to ever be resolved.

The Blacklist idea is a good one, though. Thanks Paul.
