 * After upgrading till 3.1 version Antispam Bee stopped work properly. When somebody
   wants to leave comment it always says “Spam detected”. I looked into the code
   and cannot see additional textarea, which Antispam Bee should create and replace
   default one. Now I can see only only default textarea.
    Thank you in advance 
   for your help.

 * It seems that there is a problem with this plugin because I get a lot of spam
   comments and the plugin is activated.

 * I have solved the problem. Unfortunately I didn’t find the reason why plugin 
   doesn’t replace the field. I’ve done it manually.
 * How I did it:
 * 1. Take your blog’s URL (ex: `http://anfisabreus.ru` ) and generate md5 code.
   Then copy first five letters from the code.
 * 2. Open comments.php file of your themes and replace default textarea. It looks
   like this:
    **Before changing:** `<p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols
   ="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>` **After changing:** `<p><textarea
   name="comment-XXXXX" id="comment" style="width:97%;" rows="10" tabindex="4"></
   textarea><textarea name="comment" rows="1" cols="1" style="display:none"></textarea
   ></p>`
 * 3. Instead XXXXX insert md5 code (first 5 letters of your URL)
