We removed the vast majority of the spam PMs last week, but in the process discovered a small bug in which the five most recent PMs you received continue to display on one specific page of your User CP. However, your full PM inbox should be completely free of the spam messages.

Thanks for your patience as we work to resolve this.

Edit: The bug is now resolved and the spam PMs should be completely resolved from every page of your User CP.

We temporarily disabled all PMing for new accounts, but have now switched it back on. You should be able to access the feature again.

Thank you!

I'm not getting messages but nowadays when I sign on and try to enjoy and catch up the pop up ads and malware make it almost impossible to navigate. Especially at work where the filters are tighter. It has ceased to be enjoyable.

Desktop at home and at work. Windows 10 and internet explorer. It took three tries to answer you. First two I got a pop up saying you are infected do not close the page. Only way out is the task manager and end task.
