    I get a similar message at the top of the screen when I go into the Forum. It has been happening for a day or so but I have been ignoring it.
    Just had an advert for Freedom Furniture and then O'Brien Boilers ????

    I logged out and logged back in but they still appear.

    I use Adblocker so all I get is a bigger than normal blank panel at the top of the screen.

    I am also now getting Google banner type ads constantly instead of the forum banner.

    That's sounds like someone opening an account on the forum and using it to send PMs.
    Just report it to the mods and the will can that account.

    Not getting PM's just banner ads across the top of every page installed ad blocker but you then lose sponsor ads also which are wanted at times.

    Hi,
    I thought that spammers, scammers and hackers had their own special place reserved for them in Hell.
