lvm2 wiki problems

[Alasdair G Kergon]

Has the wiki software been updated in the last few months?

I tried to disable a spammer's account as I've done before, but it seems to
have got confused between my admin account and the spammer's one:  I did the
'select user' thing to change to that user, it showed the new user at the top
of the screen confirming the switch, but the UserPreferences screen *still*
showed the 'select user' list (it did not used to do that) along with all the
settings for that user and when I checked the box to disable the user, it
gave a strange error saying the email address was already in use, so I changed
the email address, disabled it, the spammer then appeared twice in the list
with identical account names, and then found I could no longer log back in as
admin.   Or something like that.

Anyway, AGKE probably needs re-enabling/fixing, or forget it and change the
admin in the config file from AGKE to AGK.

   - And how do I now disable an account?
(Ideally there'd be a way to delete accounts in bulk - the majority are spammers.)

Also the manual Despam thing wasn't very useful because it only showed pages
that changed in the last day - older pages had to be deleted the slow way.
Can that timespan be extended?  (Haven't checked today to see if that's still true
and can't get in at the moment.)
