You are certainly on the ball. I've only just manged to get a couple of screen-dumps of the effect on my website and you've gone and fixed it! And as Ted says, a "magical tool" indeed, as anyone can verify by turning it off for a while. ;-) Thanks folks.

The symptom you're describing here is exactly the one caused by the bug (a connectivity error that disappears when you click the button). There was no loss of connectivity; the message was incorrect, and Akismet was still working for you during that time. Thanks Ted.

I had the error reporting connectivity issues yesterday for about 15 minutes. clicking the "Check Network Status" cleared the error and it was fine ever since. Akismet is a magical plugin we never credit enough for saving our comment queues from unwanted visitors. Thank you. Ted I’m glad you guys are on the ball.
