[wp-testers] WordPress 3.0.3 and Akismet

[Kirk M]

Dion - Is this why the graphs/pie are not showing up when viewing 
Akismet Stats (2.5.0)? I had to fall back to 2.4.0 on 4 different 
(single user) WordPress 3.0.3 sites due to this problem. All 4 sites use 
the same basic, regularly updated plugins and all previous versions of 
Akismet have worked properly.

Also, I tested out Akismet 2.5.0 in a test site using the nightly builds 
of 3.1 (via the Beta Tester plugin) and, with no other plugins 
activated, 2.5.0 is exhibiting the same problem as seen in WP 3.0.3. No 
graphs/pie are showing when viewing Akismet Stats.
