View Full Version : Private message?

It would seem that I have a private message from someone that I don\'t know. I tried to read it but got this message: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: \'Cheryl@localhost\' (Using password: YES) in modules/linkbar.php on line 16. I truly think the message is garbage. I do see that I can delete it, but didn\'t know if anyone would want to take a look at it?

I got the same thing. It looks like spam. It is from someone with the user name ‘simsman’. When clicking on his name to view his profile, it says he registered January 1, 1970. I don’t think there were palms or let alone the WEB then to have someone sign up to the AW board. I have a feeling someone is hacking around that shouldn’t be.

Yup, that\'s the one.

Is there anyone that didn\'t get it?

I didn\'t get one....

My intention is to make it so that only registered beta testers can use the IM. I\'m struggling for time right now, and so it might have to wait a little while!

Well I think you should do research who \'simsman\' is.

I have put a simple change in to the IM system.

Now, only registered beta testers will get the IM page, and be able to send messages.

Hope this is reasonable!

That should take care of the problem :) Thanks!
