    There was a bug earlier messing up links making them point back to the post/thread they were on instead of where they should have done.

    I don't regard something like that as strictly a 'bug'.
    I regard it as a blatant error by the person tweaking the software.
    I regard bugs as something that might reasonably have been missed/misunderstood by an average/below average techie.

    But why have they ALWAYS been £595?

    (I don't even know if that's a good price or a bad one!)

    Agreed, more than one so called new member registered and posting more in English than previously.


    In general, who might be paying for MSE's forum to be spammed?

    The floodgates are certainly open this morning.

    Did Martin not work a night shift last night ?

    Site is full of them again. More spam posts than genuine posts.

    I've reported a few but I'm doing more reporting than reading.

    Think I'll come back later.
    I don't like morning people. Or mornings. Or people.

    Asusi is viewing the thread by maga magic according to MSE's stalking of its members activity, so perhaps it is one person?


    Seems to have stated around 3.30am, still going now.
