Steve Try with the first character capitalised to see if that makes a difference. We have also introduced a new "Captcha" system to try reduce the number of spammers. Message me privately if they continue to have issues. Thanks Neil

Might have been due to a reCAPTCHA issue. Can they retest please?

Please can you get them to try again, as there was a change in the Google reCAPTCHA which I believe was causing an issue.

Welcome Martin, hope you enjoy the forum

Hi Wayne Nice to see you on board, and hope you're well! Head on over to https://forum.stirton.com/index.php?/forum/16-wanted/

Good spot! Done, thanks

Correct... There were 3 posts with content of nothing more than "ttt" in what looked like nothing more than trying to bump a post to the top of the listings

Please refrain from posting random character posts just to try bump your post.

The Membership is definitely the "first defence" but I try to do whatever possible to protect and keep things running smoothly

Hi all, One of the reasons that the "delete" images was disabled was that it then leaves "broken links" in a post, unless you also go back and edit said post and remove the image you'd posted. I've enabled this feature now and we can see how it pans out over the coming months. Thanks Neil

Hi Graham, Yes, as we've had a number of new members who have had no interest in being part of our community and coming to try buy/sell with little input to our great sport Hopefully you're able to make 3 posts.

Hi all, There's been someone who has joined the forum on what I believe is more than one occasion, filling out their profile with plausible info and posting enough to activate the PM facility but then acting suspiciously with other members. The latest example claimed to be from Bedford RC in their profile but then told other members different stories when trying to sell them things. We noticed that in one day, this individual had come on to the site via 20 different IP addresses, and not even from a reputable VPN provider but by what looked to be compromised devices of unsuspecting individuals. All we can really say is that if someone is offering something that appears too good to be true, it probably is and suggest that you exercise caution. If in doubt, reach out and we'll look at some patterns behind the scenes. All the best, and thanks for using the forum responsibly Neil

Hi @Mr_G You should be able to post with an approved account, which yours has been for a few days. You cannot Private Message (PM) straight away as Tim has said to prevent spammers which we've seen in the past. Any issues, post back here and we'll help you. Thanks Neil

Finally got around to sorting out the donation button ... and contributions much appreciated towards the cost of running the forum. Thanks

Hi @Hitchphil As Colin has mentioned, you seem to have managed to upload a photo to this post OK? If you can detail out what you're attempting, I can have a look. Thanks Neil
