I like to leave the comment option open to all viewers but I am plagued with spammers. I have had to remove the comment permission at the moment as I have about 3 pages of legit comments and 40 pages of spam. My question is - is there an easy way to delete whole pages of comments at a time or do I have to delete and confirm delete on each individual comment?

There is a couple of threads about this using SQL and some keywords that the spam has.

Thanks Dave - all a bit clever for me so I did it long hand. Not too bad with the "show recent comments" in the side drop down action menu but horror of horrors when I looked for it just now it seems to have disappeared!! I had a look in the edit album theme section in case it had been removed by accident but I can't even see it as an option there now???

Sorry I don't understand what you are asking.

Sorry that was a bit rambling! Can you confirm that there should be a 'view latest comments' button in the drop down menu at the side of the album please?
