Hi Neil,
Thanks for your note about spammers infilitratng emails and their sending out of multiple emails, probably with viruses from address books. I have been in touch with my Postmaster, Big Pond and they advise as follows
"We are experiencing issues delivering emails to Yahoo due to Yahoo's anti-spam program. Yahoo is currently rate limiting connections, although this is good for blocking spam,, it is also blocking many legitimate emails from larger ISP's like ourselves. We are working hard to resolve the issue and expect to have a solution in place shortly. As we do not keep copies of sent email, if you need to readdress it, simply forward it to the correct address from your own sent items folder". I have deleted my whole address book and kept a hard copy for future use. Regards, john m.

Hi, I'm looking about the site and when I click on wiki I get "Internet Explorer can't display this page" - ? a problem

,
On my screen I have at the top your "panel" requesting help with server etc.
then under that I have a "panel" for Carrols woodwork stuff
then under that panel is another blank panel (same size as the ones above) and that is where the spammy stuff is appearing.
Below that panel is the standard user/member entries.
Bruce.

Does the spammy stuff look like the stuff in the blue oval on the pic below?

If it does, it isn't spam it is Google Ads and these help keep these forums running. You will neversee an ads for a site as these are totally banned, there shouldn't be ads for anything that isn't relevant to the subject being discussed in the thread you are currently in.

As Cliff said it may well be malware in your computer. Whatever it is it isn't coming from this site. The spammers we have are mostly robotic and trying to post their unwanted garbage in threads and posts. They are also mostly under control. Thanks to some sneaky programming and a brilliant, ever-watchful team of moderators and administrators.

Cheers - Neil

I have had no problems with the forum since the change; everything working fine here.

I don't think we have that running yet but will check later.

I'm with munruben (John). It all works for me. I have had no problems since the change of servers.

"... no matter how small ..."

There's been a couple of occassions where the page just hasn't load; and other pages loaded fine. But when I say a couple, I mean one this evening, and 2 over the last week or so.

Not very specific, but ...
otherwise all good.

I was dropped, at least on logging in it refused me, saying I wasn't registered. I had been logged on yesterday, so something happened in the interim. Just re-registered and all seems OK now.

This may have been already reported - it may not be related......
Tried to update my signature - error message - "BB code URL not allowed". Tried deleting and retyping web address - same prob........

Speed appears to be good and no slow loading pages - only strange thing that has started is that on quite a few occasions when going from one screen to another or clicking on 'View First Unread" the page appears to "jump" once and then presents as normal.

Regards,
Bob

I have just tried 3 times to gain access to the forum , and got a response like "the server is busy , try later".
I eventually got through.
