    Default Garbage PM help please

    In the last two days I have received garbage PMs from "minhhieua11". They appear to be sent in another language, because they are full of garbage characters, like when Chinese is converted to English. Can an admin please eject "minhhieua11" from the forum?

    Our site used to be safe and secure from all these guys. Now, at sign in, I get an "!Not Secure", at the top of the page. What happened?

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Betty, I suspect that the aging interface here no longer meets the latest standards for internet security. That might mean no more pictures of grandchildren or other material that could be abused by hackers. P.M.s are probably not safe either. Use them and download what you need immediately: then delete on both ends. I think postings about fly fishing are reasonably safe. "I'll be out of town fishing all week" etc probably never was really safe.
    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    On the other hand, there could be a Nigerian prince looking to launder MILLIONS of dollars thru an American bank checking account . So far I've responded to several and for a modest fee of $10,000 each, I'm guaranteed at least 25 percent. We're talkin MILLIONS.

    The biggest question I have is how is someone who is NOT a member of the forum, sending Private Messages to folks who ARE members?
    I am getting these messages from "minhhieua11" who does NOT appear in the members list.
