Nathan is working on something for me right now, so I'm sure that's why the Clubhouse has returned.

 No need to report it - we know about it

Im having trouble viewing blogs- every time I try to click the link to go to one, it says that page no longer exists. Not sure what to do or if that is a known issue.

Thanks for the heads up.  No one had reported it, but I'll let the team know something's up with it today.

I'm getting a "Duplicate Post" error when responding to PM's. I have several PM's I'm responding to with the same answer. Is that the problem? If it is.... it's dumb. ~FH

Yes, I've come across the same thing. I'll ask if they can change it so if the posts aren't on the same day, or in a certain timeframe, it doesn't tag them as duplicates.

I see in the "Who's On Line" box on the main forums page we have a lot of "new members" with prescription medicine names. Has ES been hacked by the spammers? ~FH

Yep - looks like it.  Thanks for the heads up

126 spammer accounts deleted - check!

Registration approval settings - fixed!

 "Somehow" that got morphed into automatic approval sometime in the past year and I didn't notice.  Lucky my day job has been slow this afternoon cuz this keyboard was smokin' while I was zapping those accounts!

Kinda satisfying actually -- I think that may qualify me as a geek.

Thanks again for the heads up FH.

Thanks FH - I'm already on it.  They're gone now.  Luckily it's lunch time at the day job so I had time to zap all 40 of them.

They managed to wiggle round my "Admin Approval Required" that I just set last week for all new registrations.  I let the tech guys know because they're obviously hacking in somehow.

 I'll just stay on guard and zap the suckers the minute they appear.

Is anyone else having trouble getting ES pages to load? The problem started about a week ago and I thought it was just Christmas Internet traffic. But now I'm not so sure because other sites are still loading just fine. I have to refresh the page several times to get it loaded and even then it hangs up trying to download one final page ad. This happens in three different browsers; AOL default, IE8 and Firefox. I have to click on the "page compatability icon" for outdated browser design in IE8 to get forum pages to come up at all. And even now, in the post reply window, I'm typing between the html start-end paragraph codes just to post. My virus scans are clear and defrag did not help either. Is there a hiccup in the page code somewhere? ~FH

 I'm not having a problem on the ancient version if IE that I have on my machine at work.  I'll forward your note, in case something has changed somewhere. 

Ive had to close explorer several times trying to load the forum pages, I thought it was just my computer..

 Just today, or has that been happening for a while?  I'm not aware of any changes that they have made.
