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.

I got spammed really badly during this time as well. I went into my user account and was able to turn off my PM's. Now I cannot go back and get them turned back on. Can you help?

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.

My apologies for these ads and the inconvenience they cause. We're experiencing an issue in which an advertising partner is unintentionally displaying rogue ads that redirect to scam websites like the one you saw. We're working with our partners to identify and remove these ads as quickly as possible. On what device and browser are you seeing the redirects occur?

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.

Thanks for those details. Do you see similar issues if you try another browser like Chrome or Firefox, or is it isolated to just IE?

Chrome seems to have fixed it, runs and loads much faster.
