The forum has been under attack for the past 48 hours and I suspect the spammers are getting in via tapatalk. I have disabled Tapatalk for the time being while we sort out what is going on.

I'll post again once I have more news.

Under attack you say ? Lock 'n' load :guns:

Send 'em my way - I will out-spam them, and nut them for good measure :evil:

On a serious note, hope you get it sorted...

Don't hold your breath. The good news is the situation is seemingly back to normal but it does look like TapaTalk was the culprit.

Under attack? Bring it on. I killed two dragons yesterday (in Dragonage Inquisition). I'll have 'em. :x

No there isn't. I do have some changes planned for the forum, one of which is making it more mobile friendly... watch this space :thumbsup:

I'll be making the site mire mobile friendly quite soon, but it won't add image uploading. I suggest you use imageshack or photobucket for that

I'm saying the site will become mobile friendly, and saying the Tapatalk situation is up in the air. I am not going to compromise the security of the site to enable Tapatalk, so I'll have to do some more investigation before making the final decision.
