Akismet Bug

I started to get a lot of spam comments, and yesterday I installed Askimet. This morning, I found a bug in Askimet. Don’t you just love to start a day with a bug? :)

This is bug report I sent.

I think I found a bug.

I have WordPress 2.1 and Akismet 2.0.

At “/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?page=akismet-admin” page (Comments > Akismet Spam) I have 51 spam comment, just enough for two pages.

There I can click “2” or “Next Page »” link that leads me to “wp-admin/edit-comments.php?page=akismet-admin&apage=2” page.

There are links “« Previous Page” and “1” that lead to “wp-admin/edit-comments.php?page=akismet-admin&apage=” page (please notice that the number “1” is missing at the end of the url).

At that page I get this error message:

“WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘-50, 0’ at line 1]
SELECT * FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = ‘spam’ ORDER BY comment_date DESC LIMIT -50, 0”

I guess that is because I am at page “[…]&apage=” and it should be “[…]&apage=1” (again, the number “1” is missing at the end of the url).

Links “2” or “Next Page »” point to “[…]&apage=2” and links “« Previous Page” and “1” point to “[…]&apage=” instead of “[…]&apage=1” (once more, just to be sure, the number “1” is missing at the end of the url).
