How did folks sending me comments found my site

Each comment also records the commentor’s IP address.

You can ascertain the location of that IP using online IP location services. There so many. just do the google search for them.

Hi @t-p ,

THANKS so much for your prompt response. I checked and some of the comments seem to be spam. Example: – Recently reported forum spam source. (34)

Is there a way in www.ads-software.com to block spam comments?

Once again, Thank you!
