Anyone else having the forum act as if it was four months ago? On the home page, it won't show me any threads unless they were last updated in June or earlier (or if they're updated TODAY). If I go into the "PRR Talk" or "PRR Live" folders, then all the threads are there, so it's not too much of a problem, it's just a bit odd. Any ideas? Or is it just my computer?

Yeah, sorry guys, we had a spam attack, as many forums do, and that messed with the 'last updated' function. All dealt with now though.

Yeah, sorry everyone, but the spammer who attacked the forum posted in practically every thread we have, starting with the newer ones and finishing with the older ones: thus 'bumping' the older threads to the top of the board.
We were able to delete all the spam posts, but this doesn't 'un-bump' the old threads, unfortunately. I think it will be possible to get the threads back in a proper last post order by posting in each of the threads in the reverse order to the spammer and then deleting all these new posts. I haven't got the time to do it right now, but will have a look over the weekend and see how much of a pain it's going to be.

I wouldn't really worry about it to be honest, as when you click on the title of each forum, they are back in normal order anyway- it was only showing up strangely on the front page...once someone's said something in all 4 subforums, it will all look normal again. :-)

Cool thanks.
And at least it all gives us the opportunity to sing the Spam song. Don your Viking costumes everyone! Spam spam spam spam....
