I have 2.x b2evolution on ibiblio.org. Recently, a spammer broke through and is relentless. Should I remove my blog app, and start over with newest version, or is it pretty easy to upgrade? If upgrade is easy, which version would give me better control over captcha or some other screener for comments? Any help appreciated.
You can install captcha plugin in any version of b2evolution. Basically if you are satisfied with v2, if performance is not a problem, and you do not need new features, the upgrade is not needed.
Upgrades usually go flawlessly if you haven't changed the database manually. v4 is the most recent and feature-rich, it handles comments better than any previous version.
