OK, I'll certainly give it a go Brendan but patience is working a little thin!
I have been off work for some 14 weeks now and have been monitoring the forum at different times during the day.
I have to say that it doesn't appear to be too bad during the day, it seems to be early mornings and late evenings that most spammers seem to slime from under their shells.
.......so, hopefully the situation is a little improved.
I have also seen a drastic reduction in the number of O2 customers actually using the forum. I logged off early this morning at 1:30am and logged on again at 11:30am (that's dedication for you!). There were just
10 new posts (not including spam). It's the same this evening, only 5 new posts between 6pm and 8pm.
This has been evident for weeks and I think more people are using Twitter. Has anyone else noticed this??
