Checking emails this morning, I received one claiming to come from the forum, wanting to tell me about new comments. This has never happened before so I immediately deleted it. There has been a recent flurry of scam emails. Some based on someone's stolen sdress list, as happened to Julian Hunt. One earlier this week was claiming to come from DVLA, and some scams work on finding out about courier service, wanting the potential vistim to send credit card details, even thuogh the vital package had already been delivered. So should I worry about emails pretending to be from the forum, or is there a newly plugged in algorythm that wants to wake up contributors who have not gone onto the site recently enough?

Emails will come from the Forum if you have (inadvertently) subscribed to certain threads or the whole Forum - this is surprisingly easy to do on a touch screen, don't ask me how I know...

Hi Steve
I did this (Ruairidh’s explanation) a week or so back. I couldn’t understand why I had so many notifications. Go to your profile and check that subscriptions are off.
Cheers

Many thanks for that quick explanation. Now shall I try to master sufficient computer skills to unsubscribe, or descend to the workshop to confront 6 v electrics.
Ruairidh, I guess there'll be no First Footing tonight. Shall I email you a picture of a piece of coal as the bells call midnicht?

Aye, Frank get the door, as us restorers might say. You should hear the way they talk in Bearsden, by the way.
