Title: Spam
Post by: Merlin on June 21, 2019, 07:39:00 PM
To those who noticed.......the forum is getting slammed with spammers recently. Paul is aware of it and is on it, but battling spammers is like the "whack-a-mole" game. In the meantime, we'll just have to be patient with all the noise.

I am in the process of upgrading our anti-spam software to the latest version but have some problems, I opened a ticket to support this morning to get some help.

I think the spammers are at bay for the moment. Paul updated software and updated the procedure for new members to join.

I'm not sure. We've been getting lots of "approval needed" posts too. Have you tried clearing the cache on your computer?
