Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hello People!

    I had a pretty bad evening for spam yesterday... except most of the spam was loaded with the w32.Swen.A@mm worm. Thankfully I have Norton Antivirus that removed it from the mail everytime. But the source was so persisent. I got at least 11 payloads since yesterday. See the pics below... The last 2 quarters have been the worst on record. Much more of this and I'm going to stick to Redhat. Even if I can prevent these... it's annoying.. I mean I had to wait 5 mins to get 2Mbs of that worm crap last night... upgrade.exe, fix.exe and so on (have to start scripting the email sam inbox again).

    Take a second to look at what this guy does... half way down it create fake crash dialogs etc. The cheek of this thing!

    I guess Kazaa++ is my source as usual but it's getting harder and harder to protect my email address from this.

    Anyone else get more than their usual share of these attacks beside the usual spam ?
