Forum - spam infestation
This morning at least 2 streams of the forum were infested with pages and pages of spam messages.
Soon VM may come and mop them up, but if you missed it, it looked like this ...

And the messages are still pouring in from new joiner accounts
Yes, looks like anti-spam features are missing from the new 'lite' version of the forum!
The steady stream of fake account has persisted for many months, today it has turned into a deluge with high volumes bogus accounts and random messages flooding the forum.
The time has come to make Forum's sign up process considerably more robust,
failure to do so will result in this forum being like today unusable.I have reported this so hopefully it will disappear ?
Oh dear! It's a total omnishambles this morning!
The forum did indeed disappear...
