Just to let everyone know I have just received 2 private messages from 'forumadmin' and 'boardadmin' full of links and russian text. Both are new posters and definately not the usual admin/mod cast. I havent clicked the links and have no intention of doing so. I have just informed Chern Ann. But thought I would let everyone know.

Yep, me too. Message subject line was "Warning! Next time we will have to complaint to your ISP". Body stated:
"Dear, mangamik;Zuriphin Rocc;Sjakkie;Ulysses;valduboisvert!
A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: Rocc;Sjakkie;Ulysses;valduboisvert
If you do not pass this test* we will have to delete your account and forward a complaint to your ISP with attached log file (your IP address, etc.).

Looks somewhat suspicious. Especially since I'm running Mac OS, so virus risks are limited. Hope this gets cleaned up soon enough.

I just got it as well, I think in response to an attempt to post new pictures, and I was sent to a blue screen with an error message and a link to "go back" or "contact us" so I tried the "contact" option to notify of the error and the russian spam showed up a few hours later... not positive there is a connection but perhaps? came from forumadmin?
