That's alright, Nige- not everyone is going to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list page, and might not see it in the Chat forum.

Gave it ago and logged in ok had a quite look and what do you know here I am again! That’s an old song by the way that my father had so I did a quick search and found this – played on the very same wind up record player we had too, the lyrics really are happy and amusing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJhF28frpZcAlan

We never had the wind up Alan but, sadly, I jolly well do remember the song lyrics!

Something just struck me about this whole issue of the crash, were our email addresses compromised, and were I or am I open to future phishing / scams.

The crash happened nearly a year ago. Though I do not know about anyone else I certainly have not received any scams or phishing items. I think if we had we would have heard about it long before now.

I posted this warning in the chit chat section too just in case it is not seen here.
I am becoming suspicious Nelly too my pc became extremely slow ever since I posted on there so I did a check and found 122 viruses, it was a good job my anti malware worked, until they are fully up and running I will not be returning.
I do know cloning a website is not unheard as I lost £90 on a cloned pay pal site last year. Alan

Am surprised by your experience Alan - I've not had any issues since going on WAB Alf I have my main computer plus a laptop which I run a virus check on at least once a mouth during this time I normally do not pick up any virus’s but from time to time I may pick up 3 or 4 never 122 on one and 36 on the other! Wab is still not fully up and running and still has issues for instance the normal log in box on the main page is not there, some sections one being the ramblers thread would not except my post which was appropriate to the subject, so I had to post it on the main birding section in the end, and why are there no moderators? Call me an old cynic but until it is up and fully running correctly I will not be returning. There are some very strange people out there Alf believe me I am afraid you will have to read between the lines here but as I remarked earlier on another post it pays to trust “no one” sad but true, I am not referring to the people that run WAB of course but the original hackers, I remain highly suspicious. Ps I have posted this in the chit chat section as well in reply to souwesterly’s post I would just like to add I do not use the original email address any more for my general use as this can be used to compromise your computer system Alan

I have another issue now. My emails are getting filled with WAB notifications. 6-8 a day. All the same notification re a posting of a moth photograph by a member. Against my better judgement I went onto the site and logged in. I cannot get to my profile nor am I able to change my notification preferances
