Hi there Rick, I have given up on the Rakismet plugin and will go with the Railscast solution, if it works for them it will work for me. Now my problem is getting a working MySQL gem installed to use along Rails 2.2.2 or even 2.1.2.
If you or anyone else have some pointers I am all ears. BTW, I am on Windows Vista. Thanks, Schalk Rick wrote: > Hi Schalk, > > I've noticed that myself.
