    Can't login on phone either on wifi or data. Laptop is fine though.

    Was getting same error myself and still getting on FF in normal browsing mode. Way it worked for me(on Win PC):
    1. Open browser in private mode, go to boards page as guest.
    2. Pick any thread, hit reply.
    3. Sign in now.
    4. Navigate to your forums from here.

    Just received an email purporting to be from Boards.ie

    "Message from Sareo1" giving a link to dodgy photo and with the boards.ie logo.

    Only way they could have got my email is from Boards.ie. no reference to my username and no private messages in my Boards folder.

    Me too

    Institute a block a on messages for profiles below a certain age and post count.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 632 ✭✭✭Sorry about that

  • Registered Users Posts: 24 ChickenAustria


    Jup, came here to see if other people posted about that and seems like im not the only one who received that spammy stuff. thank god i had a unique password on boards and a unique username i dont use anywhere else.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,247 ✭✭✭Meglamonia


    Got this message this morning.

    Also got a message from Microsoft last night that my email was signed into in the Philippines.

    Additionally, that my iMessage was signed into even though I haven't used an apple phone in 3 years.

    Seems too much of a coincidence to me


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,929 ✭✭✭wally79


    Just got the message and deleted it in gmail

    Waiting to see if gets deleted automatically from PMs


  • Registered Users Posts: 553 ✭✭✭flower tattoo

    She is, someone on boards has an interest in her and is doing everything to quell her relationship with you

    Not weird at all. boards is actively deleting all the PM's and the bot accounts that e sending them, but the email gets sent out automatically as soon as the PM is sent and there's nothing they can do about that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,478 ✭✭✭harr


    Got similar this morning, deleted the PM within a few seconds another one appeared.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,354 ✭✭✭cjmcork


    same - message in my boards inbox from Oria2

    It started 'hey honey' so I KNEW it was spam!!
