    Yes it has. I'm wondering how long it's going to take for someone to do something about it.

    Common guys - you know better

    When you see these spammers use the report function. Not only does it alert me ... once 3 people report the post it gets locked from public view

    I think I got them all, but if you see more - report it please

    Eric, I just figured you came here everyday like a lot of us do and would catch it. I will report it next time that is if I can get on the site still having problems logging on every other day

    I am here multiple times, every day. The key is once something gets reported it gets called to my attention quicker. And once reported by 3 members, the post gets locked and out of sight until I can get to it.

    As for the forum slowness, Stefan and I have discussed it and it mostly has to do with the age of the forum software. It is not supported like new software. And much of the board (like the garage for example) are add ons, which have their own issues.

    The next progression for the forum, would need to head in the direction of a cloud based forum. That is what the new versions are.
    For a forum that relies on the goodness of supporting members to help pay expenses, that is something that may or may not happen.

    Like Yellow75 I thought the same thing.

    From now on I will report it.

    Hi Eric:
    Thanks for the update on "slowness" on logging on etc., really appreciate all the work you and Stefan have done with the forum and your "own" time, keep up the great work!

    We all want the same thing here.

    I wasn’t aware you could report invasive post; I will also report it in the future!

    I used the word "invaded" as a tongue-in-cheek figure of speech.
    Obviously it was a bombardment of SPAM posts. I was just expressing my disdain for it, and not criticizing the Admin here...
