“Vaccines Cause Autism” in the General area by user DavidMef
Looks like it’s just spam to me
I removed it. Thanks
Australia School Course Help Ads in the Classified area, FYI.
got it. thanks
….also the newly registered users/who is online is gone from right next Active topics….
This issue and the signature editing one seem to be bugs in a recent software update. I’ve reverted to the previous version while I troubleshoot these issues. Thanks to you and GardenNinja for pointing them out!
There is a spam post in the Art forum: [url]https://windstoneeditions.com/forums/topic/some-art-pieces/page/7/#post-1638801[/url]
Thanks for the heads up—I removed that account.
I just received a spam message from Marian Karam, her handle appears to be akaramkaram. Possibly harmless, but unsolicited “hello I saw your profile” type message.
Thanks for letting us know. I marked that account as a spammer and blacklisted the IP address.
FYI, we now have something installed that restricts the number of PMs a user can send within a specified amount of time. This doesn’t prevent someone from sending a few, but they can’t just instantly message 200 people. This spammer seems to have given up after 7 messages.
This new member looks odd, but might be OK:
Jennifer Thomas is connected to a site called Lucky Cigar, including a link in her Forum signature.
Thanks, I marked that account as a spammer.
Another SPAM post appearing in an old thread.
The thread is “Happy Birthday Pixie-dust!” in the “Community” section.
The SPAM post is by mathygreen
Thanks for pointing it out. Ela_Hara emailed me about it too. I marked that user as a spammer, which makes their posts disappear from the forum.
New post in this old thread looks a lot like SPAM: Community › Ski’s Therapy Session Board is now OPEN!!
It was posted by VivianMcGee
That user has been marked as a spammer. Thanks for pointing it out.
So… How do we renew ads now? I don’t get notifications.
When an ad is past its expiration date, you can click the EDIT button in your listings (in your My Account area), and on the next screen you will see a RENEW button.
I just had an old ad for a PS cat renewed! Ack! I did not request to get it renewed!
Sorry, I think that was the unintended result of some testing I was doing. I’ll disable it for you.
I am not getting the little blue notification balloon at upper right when I have a new message or a reply to a topic that I started. When I click on “My Account” I do see notifications there.
Are other people having this issue?
If not, is there a setting that I might have changed by mistake?If it matters … I am using a desktop computer with Windows 10 and Firefox as the browser.
The “new message” counter was part of the “admin bar” at the top of the window. The admin bar was being displayed (though it should not have been) for users who participated in one or both of the kickstarters. The new message counter was convenient, but unfortunately the admin bar was also providing access via other links to parts of the site that should only be accessible to Windstone employees, so I had to remove it. If I can find a way to display the admin bar, but without those links that were compromising the security of the site, I will re-activate it. So far that doesn’t seem possible. All of the content that was provided by the admin bar’s dropdown menu at the right side of the screen is still available via the My Account link. Sorry for the inconvenience.
There’s a new spam classified ad – OOm Singapore.
Got it–thanks!
Suspicious post made by Eri Overton in the Announcement subforum’s Classified ads and paypal payments – Please read if you are a buyer or a seller
This is the exact post that spammer ‘Michelle Woods’ posted – word for word.
Thanks for letting me know. I deleted the account.
