Hi guys.  I'm getting a weird issue with the new plugin -- I disabled
the old plugin and activated the new plugin.  Pasted in the WP.com API
key and looked like the plugin is active.  So I go to manage and I see
I have 3815 spam messages in the database -  I click the 'Delete All'
button and I get taken to the 'Akismet Configuration' page under
plugins.  The spam messages aren't deleted either.  Any ideas?  Thanks
