    And i'm trying to post 3 images in a thread to explain a boundary problem but i'm blocked because i might be a spammer!

    I tried to post a hijackthislog report - it was blocked - an auto responder comes back saying they will look into it if the problem continues - I reply to say the problem is still there - no reply is forthcoming!
    :(

    Replace 8BsL7m8.png as one word with something else, as has been said several times.

    Easy enough, even in notepad.

    Martin's posted about this here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5278038



    This thread dates back to March. Why three months on is Martin Lewis just finding out about this problem?

    They actually told me to change windows to window5, which I did, but still it bounced

    EDIT .............

    Whoops, sorry :o:o

    looking back I can now see that it did say to change windows to window5 and system to 5ystem - my mistake :o:o

    Anyway, the MSE bounce team never replied despite me contacting them 4/5 times

    Well, no spam whack-a-mole game to play today.

    Hopefully that means the new measures are in place, and if so well done to the team!

    These people/bots/whatever are usually quick to adapt to some technical measures put in place against them, so not cheering quite yet. Have seen lulls before on here and elsewhere and then the bu**ers come back with vengeance.

    But so far so.....
