Hi all,

I received two PMs with no sender and no title of the PM.

I deleted them, then "zapped" them without opening them.

If you receive PMs with no sender IDed, I suggest you do the same.

It could be some kind of a phishing expedition by ne'er-do-wells or possibly a virus.

We are working thru a few forum bugs but rest assured there is no PM virus problem, this is a closed system, it isn't like Internet email.

Thanks much, Steve, for the most prompt "heads up"!:-)

I use this verysame forum software (WowBB) for my motorcycle site at http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums and version 1.65 has a few little bugs still to be ironed out. Steve is right, you can't compare the PM system to e-mail.
