Henry, sorry you need to add my username to the PM and send me a message. xxx will do ;) I've just seen a note from another admin that she is spamming their community so we'll have HU remove her tomorrow.

Thanks for alerting us.

Henry, I've found Lynnbecker and restricted her so she can't post. Unfortunately she can still PM so please ignore any PMs from her until HU can delete her account.

Not received anything but don't worry any more about it, Henry. The miracle cure is hemp oil apparently.

A Homeopath (who just happened to be doing a demontration at our local Health Food Shop at the time) told me it was what I needed after antibiotics had lowered my adrenal function (Dr P diagnosis). It was sold in the shop at about £15 per bottle. Didn't do a thing!

I received a spam nessage to one if my posts. She said she was a witch doctor and could cure me. Funnily enough she was offering more help than my GP did! Sorry deleted message. I now know how to report in the future ..

On this subject, why Don't we have a report button on Private Messages? People like that send PMs exactly because they know we can't just report them. It would make much more sense to have a report button, there, too.

Oh, and I'd also like an edit button on PMs, please! With my spelling, I need it! lol

It has been discussed, and requested, on the admins forum. Much wanted.

PM edits? You'll have to put up with my typos on them as well. :-)

Hello Henry

Thank you for letting us all know about this and also good on you for letting them have it, If i recieve the email - I will be sending them a piece of my mind to. Trying to take advantage of ill people who are searching for help is utterly disgraceful, shameful.

Best wishes
