Under attack (again)

Unfortunately someone (a robot) misused the last open-to-all communication channel on the website, the one where you can send in suggestions for connections. So I had to close that route and replace it with a general mail form. (and clean up the mess it left behind)

Also - reviews can only be added if you sign in first (so unregistered users cannot add reviews for the time being)

If you discover some weird texts or corrupted files on the website, please tell me. I've checked the basics and I think they have not been affected.

As I noticed that 1 or 2 profiles had been hacked too, I just deleted all users who haven't contributed in any way (so no visited sites logged, no intro text or whatever). If you have been affect, and do want to contribute: if you send me an e-mail I can create a new user id for you.

I cannot change my profile text any more... after submitting the changes and re-loading the page the added parts do not appear. Can this have to do with your actions regarding the attacks?

Thanks for the quick response and actions taken but I'm sorry having to tell you that it still doesn't work - at least in my profile...

Does anyone else experience the same?

I can change my profile...

To be a little bit more precise:

I can update my count of visited sites and the changed number then also appears in the designated box under "Your profile".

Anyhow any other changes in the text-boxes below do not appear in the re-loaded profile, though the message "Profile details updated." pops up after clicking the "Submit"-button.

There seem to have been some unwanted intruders again at the website (not at the forum).

One of the users has reported that a mail adress he used exclusively for this website, has been used to send a phishing mail to yesterday/today. Has anyone else experienced this recently?

If you notice anything else, please report it to me so I can take measures.
