Be careful with your forum passwords

I've just been made aware that at least one post has been made here in my name (such as it is: sevenish) but I didn't make the one post I've found so far.

I've changed my password and created a ticket at the help desk, but I just wanted to warn others.

Best wishes and happy holidays,
Seven

    Maybe the forum admin could track the post by the IP.

      Probably. This happened to me on another forum a couple of months ago and the guy used a paid proxy service to make the posts. I tend to leave my machines on and browsers open for days at a time, but the Admins on the other forum were able to sort it all out.

      Weird thing is that I was browsing the forum last evening during a late business conference but I didn't even see the thread until someone called my attention to it. The thread has since been deleted and I didn't have a chance to post to it after my discovery.

      If it makes any difference, I hadn't changed my pw after having it reset by the system. I've changed it to my own now though.

    Hi,

    This happened way back on the old forum, befor the last forum next to this one.

    It's easy to trace.
