account hacked

garysletters

I want to make people in this area of mse (as i use these threads a lot) aware that in the last few days, I believe my account has been accessed by someone other than me, and some details altered. I have now changed my password, but if anyone has read anything in the last couple of days from "me" then to dismiss it.

i will however continue to post from now with my new password.
I have lost my pregnancy counter for the time being, my T+ affiliation message, my private message inbox has lost my saved messages and my number of posts has dropped. I dont believe its all to do with the upgrade on the site (but it could be)??? If anything like this has happened to you, let me know. Thanks

I'm not so sure - I think it is something to do with the upgrade...
I have someone leses signature with my profile now (See below)!
I am about to delete it!

Also lots of the posts between weds and friday are gone!

Ok, I have been assured by the forum bods that this is entirely due to the changeover, and that everyone has had the same problems. (would be nice if they told peo[ple that on the home page so we dont all go panicing!!!)

Please ignore this thread and let it sink!!!

Don't panic, I had a totally weird signature too......

....something about wife being pregnant and not wanting to go back to work........

I thought i had done it under the influence of alcohol.. Strange seeing as I am female and single!!!?!?!?!?!

All sorted now though, after I worked out how to change it!

I would like to point out though that affiliate signatures are not allowed.

Sorry Glad, thought I'd better say I'd moved in in case someone wondered where it had gone or appeared from...

Perhaps the BG could lock this then?
