I did. This site is for Mini/MINI lovers, not for spam.

The dates of the posts didn't get screwed up, those were the dates the spammers entered. As soon as someone posts an updated item in each forum, those dates will be negated.

Wow, just noticed this thread. This all seemed to happen while I was off in t'Dales.

Congrats Owen and Si for all your hard work!

But, is the New Posts Since last log on now disabled?

I hadn't been on for a week, and there were no new posts since my last visit! :1icon_eek:

(Sorry guys!)

I'm not sure why that's happening der, sometimes when you log in, it shows lots of new posts, and then when you click on one, it flags all the other new ones as old. Other times it doesn't flag anything at all. We're looking into it.

The entire codebase was rewritten to circumvent spam as a priority. That job is now done, so we need to refocus on the basics now too.

Jeekers, it sure does!
Who'd have thought!

Those spammers have just made me realise just how much work goes on behind the scenes.

Thanks again, Owen and Si!
