    The red flag was unfortunate timing 3 ways.

    There are some BIG changes coming - stay tuned

    Hi Spanners, thanks for the upgrade. I would like to know how you are so sure that my bank account, firearms license number, pics of my guns, usernames and password have not been access by whoever compromised the web site for the last six months?

    I would also like to take you up on the offer to delete all my data - profile, PMs etc. I can access this part of the forum to see the answers to this thread without logging on so feel free to do it today.

    I’m going to be blunt and a cunt - because clearly there are some dimwitted tinfoil wearing pricks here who haven’t got the message, 1st, 2nd or fucking 10th time.
    THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A COMPROMISE OF DATA
    The redirect ‘bug’ has been known and there for years. It was fixed almost inmediatly, by disabling the addon module but 10mins later people like you were crying that they couldn’t ‘like’ a post as the function was part of that module. It’s an unfortunate issue with the platform as a whole. It isn’t attached to the database nor has any ties to it.
    It also would have temporarily broken all forum links.

    Your password, bank account details and firearms number are your personal security issue - nothing to do with the forum - you havnt provided them to us and we don’t hold them on file nor care about them in anyway.
    If you want to send it via PM to someone then they get an email notification with the PM details in - you have no idea if they are receiving it at work, on their phone or a library computer or what they are going to do with it, let alone what sort of Malware etc is running on their machine.
    Perhaps you should consider your own online security practices before pointing the finger.
    If you don’t want pictures of your guns in the public domain - don’t post them - simple.

    There hasn’t been an ‘upgrade’ - only a move to another ‘box’
    There IS an upgrade to a completely new piece of software next week.

    I’ll deal with removing you as requested once I get back to a PC
