Hi,

Just wanted to apologise on behalf of the time-waster spammers who recently decided to join up on the forum and send messages to people. A few months ago I changed the settings so that when new people register here they cannot post on the forum until I have manually approved them.. however I forgot to change their private messaging settings. And it seems one spammer has sent some very interesting (that's sarcasm) information out to some people.

Anyway I've now changed the settings and of course deleted the spammers' accounts, but wanted to apologise if you got a PM and hope it doesn't put you off this lovely little forum!

ARGH

Sorry seems another spammer got through.. please ignore a PM from someone saying about a virus on your computer. It's not true!!

Have definitely changed the settings now.. really sorry about that :(

It's ok, trouble with spammers is they are constantly updating their bots to bypass anti spam measures *hugs* :)
