"new posts"

Unread post by Silver_Shiney »

Is anyone else experiencing this? I've just downloaded my Inbox and found a load of emails from the forum advising of new posts, only to find that they're "old" posts and I'm taken to the very first one on the thread :shock:

We were attacked by a spammer last night who made about 60 posts on old topics - this is normal behaviour for such "people". I spotted what had happened and dealt with it.

Whilst there are procedures in place to try and prevent this happening unfortunately the occasional one manages to slip past.

I know that last night the forum was overrun with posts from somebody called Anthonypusa - there were dozens of the most bizarre posts having no relevance to the threads themselves. The posts contained strange links but I resisted the temptation to click on them and thankfully I guess David cleared them all. Whether this has anything to do with your problem Shiney boy I don't know.

Oh I see David has explained what happened - thanks David :thumbup:
