I just installed GBook and am attempting my first post. It asks for my name, comment, what my age was in 2006 in one field and to enter numbers displayed above in another field. When I click Submit my Comment, I keep getting a "Please answer the anti-spam question". What am I missing? Thanks for any advice.

From what you have written, I think the anti-spam question is
what my age was in 2006
. You probably answered it wrongly. You would have to see in the settings.php file what the correct answer is, because the age in 2006 is different for most people. So this is not a good anti-spam question. Better would be "What is the sum of 5 and 3?" or "What is the color of a banana?", put it in settings.php file at $settings['spam_question']='What is the color of a banana?'; . Don't forget put the right answer in the settings.php file at $settings['spam_answer']='yellow'; .

Greetings,
Henrie
I do not monitor the Gbook forums regularly anymore since I do not use the Gbook script myself anymore for a long time. But it helped me a lot in learning to understand php.
