    Aloha LaurieB :)


    Can I direct you to a post I just made on this HERE it explains that I and the other admins have seen this sneeky behavour before ( actually its an old technique that todays spammer are re-employing ), its not new and once you recognise the layout its easy to spot.


    I will next time take a screenshot to show you the hidden links.


    You have a great DAY :)

    Yep BCG :)

    I suspect the spammer is the same one who also uses alot of punctuation marks and the damm yellow colour for text in his posts to try and fool you into clicking the text to highlight it in order to make it legible.

    Hi!
    Sort of glad to hear someone besides me is having spam trouble. What should I install on my computer for a spam filter? Any particularly recommended here?
    Thanks!
