Fortunately their online virus check was quick and easy, although Firefox keeps coming up with popups about my computer asploding. It's got to be the viruses the PM was warning me about!

Happy Butterflies to everyone, and WTB Kittenstomp powers =P

Those PMs are really annoying, got to find a way to restrict new users from sending stuff in masse like that.

Fix attempted please let me know if your PM system doesn't work after posting.

Yea, mine won't allow me to delete messages now:

Ariena Najea, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Instead if restricting based on post counts, you could place some sort of time limited. example: New users cannot use PM system until their account is 72 hours old.

I notice the latest two members have a forum title of "Mandragora." Is this the new standard "Recruit", or have we left the forum titles open for editing and these two just happen to be friends?

I was playing with user ranks

Unfortunately ranks and user classes only update on posting, and given how frequently people post here, well...
