Someone took my ID over!

[Chris Perkins 223]

Recently I noticed that I wasn't logged in automatically, and when I tried to log in manually it didn't work. So I did the 'forgotten' password thing but didn't get an email.

I had to open the database in MySQL and change the encrypted password there. My email address had been changed to a dodgy hotmail one....But I'm back now, and have hopefully made things more secure!

Has anything offensive been added lately that I need to look at?

Just a homosexual website! But it has been eliminated from the forum now, thank goodness!

Sylvester must have removed it. At least I hope it was him. Was that you Syl?

I think in view of these recent events I'll also be giving full access to Sylvester, to ensure that if I get knocked out he can re-instate me, or vice versa.

Yes there has been alot of links to websites of that nature posted lately, i've removed all of them as soon as i saw them.

Thanks Syl.

I don't know how they managed to change my password, but perhaps it was done so that they could post such links unhindered.

I'm pleased you were around to take them down.
