Mikeej,

Give it another go.

There was a problem with the link in the email, but we’ve fixed that now.

If for any reason you don’t get it working for you, please let me know immediately.

Melbear see my comments under topic: floodcontrol.

You’ll be right by the end of today.

We screwed up, basically!!

FOR SOME ADDED GRIEF:

Some of you may STILL have flood control giving you grief.

This will continue until the one minute AFTER the last post you sent (dated today – when it was actually yesterday).

I can’t do anything about that except apologise for not seeing the clock error sooner.

Folks,

We corrected a system clock error that had the date set wrongly, then had to shift the forum time to compensate.

The consequence was that for a while, the time was out by a day and the flood control thingy kicked in.

Please forgive me

Yup – onto that as soon as I can!

For what it’s worth, we just didn’t get around to quotes before the launch date.

Frustration duly noted folks.

The navs at the bottom of the page have mysteriously disappeared somewhere in the development of this site, coz I swear they were there once upon a time!!

I’ll get that fixed ASAP.

Thanks Pisces, I’ll check that out. If I missed that then I am a very silly duffer.

Thanks for spotting it.

Note that to get back to the first page (even without that), you can always click on the box showing the total number of pages… it will throw up a dialog where you can enter the number 1, and voilá. you’re there.

Matt,

You MAY be able to get it back… go edit your profile and you’ll see we’re letting you CHANGE it for a while.

Hope that makes sense.

PS. Advertising is ONLY two Google ads, side-by-side under the topic post… We have to recoup our Google advertising costs somehow!! []

Bill,

You are both a welcome and important member of this community, however, like all others, we require that you adhere to the forum rules.

To this extent, advertising of external commercial resources is not allowed on this forum, so we have no option but to edit your post.

I think it’s wise that you consider your intentions moving forward. Are you here to help out of the goodness of your own heart, or are you here to market (by trading information)? Either way that’s fine, but just do it in a way that is acceptable.

As an idea, put a reference to a website in a signature that appears at the bottom of all your posts.

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

The problem with running a public forum board is that shysters like to use it to harvest names and spam people.

You are right to say that ‘bots’ comb the net looking for e-mails, and while we tested Snitz, there is no iron clad guarantee that there isn’t come techie with nothing better to do than crack the forum software.

I figured that the forums must have my email address listed on the postings or in my profile. This would mean that someones bot/spider could harvest email addresses from the site.

Actually, unless you left your e-mail address in a post then my best suggestion is that they look your url and spammed it randomly.

One thing IS for certain… the details did not come from us as we treat your privacy very seriously.

If you have any further information or ideas about how we can stop people hacking the site then please let us know.

Cheers,

The Admin Team
