Please Note - there is a problem with the order of the top of the Forum.

There has just been a bulk posting of Spam, someone has attached the same message to 8 or so existing threads, some of which were fairly old.

The Spam items have been deleted. However, when an item is deleted, the 'Last Date' is NOT properly reset, so the thread messed with retains the 'new' status while it gradually drops down the list again. This is not a big deal when this happens to 1 item, but 8 or so can look confusing.

If you're looking for the recent postings, you may need to drop down a little way to find them, until the list settles somewhat.

Need to keep this at the top for a day or two, so 'bumped'!

Hi Geoff,

Yes, this has been a fairly common problem now for some weeks as we seem to be targetted by a number of spammers curently.

I've certainly been deleting both new and attached rubbish for a few weeks recently.

We just need to make sure we ban them for the maximum time and delete the posts.

Keep up the good work! 😉

JohnG.
