I will look into this.. thank you for letting me know, Bear.
Is anyone else seeing this problem as well?
I have. But just poo-poo'd it and come walk around in the woods.
I figured it was me. I usually do, because often it is.
My email was getting to be a huge spam ball. But I spent a couple of days grooming it and now it's more relevant than hundreds of garbage` emails. Mostly political crap.
But I still don't keep it open much (my email).
And I believe I turned off Email notifications recently from SMF, because they did not connect, and like I said, I've been pruning my Email irrelevant's in my inbox.
Edit in: Yes, I did turn off (unchecked) email notifications.
I more rely on SMF's 'conversations', and Friends posts, and the Alerts feature. Over all, I really like this forum, it's format, and ease of use. But I'm new and did not know the old format.
However... I've been Internet active since before Al Gore claimed to have invented the Internet. Back in the bbc days, and HTML code banging.
I did see something I thought odd a week or so ago. I got a report there was 99 spiders on SMF.com. Spiders most likely mining for info, web browsing history, and whatever the
chiggers are trying to mine.
I thought that was quite odd. But I run a pretty tight firewall anyway. And why 99?
If I figure out how I did that, I'll bring it to someones attention.
Otherwise, I LIKE SMF.com! It's informative, and fun!
