I'm happy to do whatever is necessary to log on - although if I have a different email address to Hugh I hope you are able to let me know what it is! As I don't know.

You can check by looking in your profile at "account settings".

It's a pretty rare situation where two people only have one email address between them - don't you have a webmail account somewhere?

Just checked - Elaine does indeed have a different email address.

As of late last night, a developer has published a fix which for the time being has knocked this problem on the head.

Of course, once the bot designers catch up, it's possible that it will start up again, but for now I think we can stall on implementing the email logins.

This problem is now affecting all sorts of forums, not just SMF ones - fight the spam!

As this has now been (possibly only temporarily) fixed I'm locking the topic.

Thanks for the votes in any case!
