I got a private message from LadyAdministrator that makes it look like you have a virus and there is a link attached. I am betting this is spam and deleted it without using the link.

This is the second time this week I have received one of these scams. Our real administrator needs to check the fire wall or our own spam protection...never happened to me before this week.

I got the same message here as well as at the SNHLR forum this morning, haven't opened either and I sent a message to Sean.

Thanks for posting, it IS SPAM. Locked down the board a bit more. Time for that update....

The problem is that I need to let people who register PM me to get permission - if they didn't get the email.

If this causes any problems let me know.

The funny thing is that they are smart enough to take me off the list they spam. This is no automated bot.
