Neither of those worked. I still get the message “You do not have permission to do that” when I try to delete or move to spam any of those comments.

Was this meant to resolve my first or second issue?

Thanks for your help.

(I have read many older discussions of animated gifs + WordPress, but none of them address my specific question — they all seem to come down to sizing, and I do not believe that that is what’s happening on my site. If this question has been answered, however, please forgive the oversight!)

Disabling Akismet LOOKED like it worked (it let me press “Trash” and said the comment had been moved to the trash). But then when I went to the main comments page there it was again, undeleted. (And I tried approving then deleting; that didn’t work either — I got that same faded-out effect that I did when I tried deleting it before, in the picture above.)
