More Spam

Spam has increased somewhat recently unfortunately. It is always and arms race; as fast as you can create a security feature the spammers are creating ways to get past it. After a particularly large batch of spam a couple of weeks back I decided to change the prevention method for new accounts to re...

Spam, spam, spam

There has been a notable increase in spam recently, particularly over the past few days which took me a while to clear. As it happens I had just performed a software upgrade on another forum I have, and Sailsite was the next in line with the upgrade planned for tonight. I have now done this, so hope...

Re: Otter 530

Hi cweed, There's an icon on the left under the member details that looks like a head and shoulders with 'pm' next to it. That should bring up a similar page to the one to post a forum message for a private message. Depending on your preferences you may get an email notification of the message. Eith...

Unfortunately it looks as though she might have been grounded and waiting for the tide before lifting off - possibly just ...
