We’re getting swamped by the malware and I don’t want to lose you all!

I don’t really understand the way the site Jim linked to works, but could probably figure it out over time. Will you start a “Spin Zone” thread there?

Help!

If the malware can’t be eradicated can the administrator wipe the whole program and reinstall the forum? Or is his whole machine compromised? And if he does wipe it will all our memberships need to be recreated or will the files be saved? I don’t know how this works.

Anyway lifeboat good idea. I’ll go to Jim’s forum if this one craters. As a last resort I guess we could reconnect on PoA just to direct members to wherever we went. Hopefully the tyrants over there won’t have a problem with that.  Some members might miss all this. I’m still hoping invflatspin will come back.

Alternately, disable public account creation until you can get it under control.

If help is needed, I am a computer programmer by training, including databases.  I do more PM/account management work right now, but I'm still active with writing code when needed.  Might be able to determine why you cannot delete something, it's probably a command failing.

Right now I can’t block anything me.

I’ve been blocking the spammers and now the whole link has disappeared.
