    I agree , a lot of people will be upset by it all - but they need to help the mods and make sure they click the spam button on those posts & not just view them - this way, the posts are deleted until the forum team have a chance to view them.

    I've seen Soolin's post - they having a hard time keeping up with the spam.

    :(

    **it's amazing that the spammer is going to the trouble of setting up an avatar for each one**
  • Thanks Chris25, I didnt know you could just get rid of those posts by clicking the spam button. I've just done this for the Christmas & Other Yuletide Festivals.
  • I wondered what on earth was going on, I even re started my own computer thinking it was me, or that some people on here had got a secret language going on!
