As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Possible PM Issue and How to Fix

Post by MoT »

Some members may be having difficulty accessing PMs.

In your Outbox folder there may be a notice at the top that says something like "You have one (1) message unsorted. Click here to sort message(s) into appropriate folders."

Once you click on that link, you should be able to read them.

Also worth noting that unlike email, Outbox here does not mean "sending...". It means "sent, but unread". Once the message has been read, it moves into the Sent folder.

That is correct. It's an easy way to see if a sent message has been read or not.
