Spam in tour section.

I swear I must have deleted at least 200 threads from that sub-forum today, they're going wild.

Spam in tour section.

Thanks for pointing it out. Can you use the Report function as well? It helps as it gives all mods a notification which may lead to addressing it quicker.

I'll do that, thanks.

[luckyONE]

it says I have 128 notifications (unread private messages), but all of them are already from years ago. Really don't want to "read" them all again or delete them, is it a bug? It's like this for weeks already!

All existing messages (including deletions) have become active after the site update and re-launch.
This affected each and every user and it is not a bug. Just have all old messages marked "read" and it will reset the counter.

So many spammers today.

And they're becoming good at this as they have Mariah or Madonna avatars

So we won't have Random Thoughts Thread anymore? How about dealing with people who are causing problems instead of closing the thread?

We are discussing how best to make this work for all posters based on the feedback we had, in the meantime be patient.

The bots are getting more and more busy with spam threads. Maybe turn on manual approval of new accounts for now?

[KEY9481]

Yeah I've been sending multiple reports this morning

Please only report spam that is posted in running topics, and/or new threads that are not recognizable as such at first glance.
The Asian spammers that use Chinese Korean, Russian, etc. characters are easy to spot and are dealt with as fast as possible.

Would it be worth giving a few members who always report the spam, the power to delete the spam threads?

Can't find my 2015 year-end chart thread at all. It's not in either Personal Charts forum.

Site failed to load again yesterday - though only for about 6 minutes at around 6PM.

[spiritboy]

Maybe you guys should stop new members from registering for a few days till it calms down a bit?

I can't find this thread anywhere on the database (unless it's in a forum I don't have access to).

Wayne has done this while he looks for more solutions today.

I think it may be a victim of the transfer. CZB mentioned losing some of his posts before.
Here is the thread that i cut and pasted over to Haven http://fatherandy2.proboards.com/thr...-2015-complete
"Tony's Top 50 Hits / Albums 2015 (COMPLETE!)" 3rd Jan 2016
Unfortunately, you can't cut and paste it back to UKMix as it loses the formatting once it's posted on Haven. So i'd have to spend time adjusting it all.

Bizarrely, your 2016 chart was started in Dec 2015 - https://www.ukmix.org/showthread.php...OMPLETE!-pg-4)

[Blondini]

Oh. That clears that up! Erm.

I forgot that i combined 2 years in one thread - inspired by Bill Crazycrazy. Bad move, it seems!

I can't find the button for reporting someone anymore.

Thanks for pointing this out, you should be able to see it now?
