Spammers
Okay, what's with the spammers? Any idea why they keep appearing? And are these spammers automatic programs or 'real' people? I can see the latest spammer online!!

Yes, there has been an influx of these at present. The ones that appear here are only the tip of the iceberg. Tony deletes most of them as they register.
I know that he and Keith are on the case, and it should be sorted out soon.
The important thing is to totally ignore them. The links shouldn't be opened, amongst other things, they could contain viruses.
Goodness knows what Julian would say.

Yes, I am sure that a number of our regulars are aware that we have a real problem at the moment, but it is something that I have to leave to the computer whizz kids to sort out, (I'm sure when they wrote 'Computers for Dummies' they had me in mind) and I can only endorse moonraker's comments - If in doubt, don't open any links and you should be okay.
Up to now anyone has been able to register and post and that is the way I always wanted it to be, but sadly it looks as if we may have to use a vetting process in future, similar to that already used by other websites.
