Apologies for the spam issues over night, we're keeping on top of it the best we can!

Ash contacted me at 10.15 last night after he had cleared nearly 200.

I then started deleting but they were coming in faster than I could delete so I gave up and went to bed. I might as well have stayed up because I couldn't get to sleep thinking about what I would find in the morning!

However, Ash was very kind and cleared them all again. He also took steps to prevent a recurrence, so keep fingers crossed.

It's a pity they came in at her time of day they did, had it been the daytime we could have cleared them sooner

A really big thanks to those users who alerted us to the problem, we really appreciate it. You are all stars.

Thank you, Norah and Ash!
When I looked in early this morning before I took out the dog, there were over 100 PAGES of spam!
A mammoth task for you both!

A lot of work to get rid of all those. Perhaps it's time to introduce a simple Captcha when posting. Tick two out of three check boxes is about as simple as it gets and the robots don't seem to be able to break it.

I'll ask Ash about the captcha idea, anything is worth trying!
