I checked the user IP address and it is external to the forum, not a spammer who has gained access so I think it should be safe. Please let us know if this happens again as something may need to be done at the back end level.

And a curious thing too on the "threads in forum" page of the Forum Readme sub-Forum (and now I see the same thing on other sub-forums, eg TAC HQ).

Many of the threads are started by Geoff Winnington-Ball, some have replies, some do not. Where Geoff has made the latest reply, his User ID is shown as "Winninion-Ball", while there is also the occasional one by "Geoff Winnington-Ball". I thought this might have either been a new account created by some other person, or the hackers had got in and changed his account out of disrespect.

Why is it so?

I'm fairly sure that account was created while Geoff was still with us, as to why I don't know.
