I saw in the past some people have had trouble with spammers creating trackbacks that appear on your XOOPS weblog - I was having that same problem. some of my posts had over 50 trackbacks to websites and content that I don't approve of! This makes me mad and sad that someone would do this...

I found nothing that said how to disable trackback, but I did come up with a solution, that has worked perfectly so far.

You must have access to your mySql database...

Look for a TABLE that is titled ***_weblog_trackback (*** = the beginning prefix for tables on your website)

Delete that table ***_weblog_trackback - then when you go back to your site you'll notice that when you click on trackback it won't show anything.

To ensure that you are deleting the right thing you can view the content of ***_weblog_trackback and see that it's full of all the trackbacks to your site.

Thanks for the tip. I too was getting some nasty trackbacks on my site.
