Hi

Further to the recent spam attack on the forum - which we are addressing - please report any instances of spam PMs below, also noting the member account in question. We will then take the appropriate action.

Hello, been a while since I’ve been here. I received an email stating that someone in China was trying to get into the site by hacking my username. IP was 223.86.212.168, which is an unspecified location within China. I need no verification that you received this. Thanks.
