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.

very strange spam

I think someone has played a prank and registered us for emails. They are all the same type of content but all from different email addresses so individually blocking them isn't working. Could it be a virus or something, and is there anything I can do short of changing our email address?

I doubt it was a prank - the more your e-mail address is available online or recorded somewhere the more of these you get. Multiple address origins are the modus operandi of spammers, that's why they're all but impossible to block individually.

You need a new spam filter. My experience is that these things come in waves and it would probably be wise to hold on to your address and hope things calm down before abandoning it (unless things are really bad!).
