    I got this email supposedly from MG. I've gotten them before except the thread that this one links to is six years old and when I clicked on the link the new post isn't posted. Also the thread isn't recent when I go to "Interesting Website Links".
    Can someone in charge look into this to see if it's legit? I still have the email if you want to see it.

    That means the new post was actually spam, and a moderator deleted it before you had a chance to see it. :)

    Hi sibeer

    XRumerTest is a spammer that was deleted yesterday (and on many occasions), along with the test post of theirs that you see (which I actually recall deleting myself).

    You're subscribed to that thread?

    I don't think I'm subscribed to any thread. I was at some time but I think I changed that option or something like that.
    Thanks for the quick response, both of you guys, I won't respond to any more if I get them.

    I'm not sure why you would get it then. That's a response to a subscribed thread email. You might want to go through your subscriptions and just make sure you are unsubscribed to old threads if you aren't interested.

    Ok, I was subscribed to that thread...along with another 43 pages worth.
    All the time I've been here, I don't think I've emptied that thing.:-o

    @hrlow2 I try to get around to it.:-D

    Thanks again all.
