A security issue has come to light affecting Private Messages. Because of this I have agreed with Mike to disable Private Messaging on this forum. There are currently 9 private messages. As these will be deleted when the facility is withdrawn, we will give posters until Monday to read them, or to communicate privately in some other manner such as email. If anyone wants their private messages deleted earlier, please let me know.
This is just a precaution although a necessary one - we are not aware of the privacy of any poster on this forum being compromised as yet.
If anyone has an urgent need to contact another poster privately and is unwilling to publish their email address, you may write to us and we will forward your request to the poster concerned.
Anyone who does publish their email address should disguise it in some simple way (such as replacing '@' with {at} ) to prevent spam robots finding the email address and adding it to spam mailing lists.
I am happy to answer any questions except to give any further information of the nature of the security flaw.
John.
