I think the problem is that anyone with a deal of computer know how can now hack into anything, be it protected or not.

Hi guys!

Please stop worrying; I wouldn't have posted anything if I'd thought people were going to get all worked up over it. It really is no big deal, the forum is secure we just need to be vigilant about how we use personal information. In other words don't post email addresses (NRAS will always help with legitimate requests) and don't post phone numbers. I was silly enough to post my email address and someone used it in an inappropriate manner, my fault and I won't do it again RollEyes

Wherever you go in life there will doubtless be someone who wants to upset things, the way of the world unfortunately. The way forward is to not let it take hold and make us feel insecure. We don't have the problem.

NRAS have tried to trace the culprit and I have spent quite some time chatting to them. Their records have been checked twice by Gail and Sally and there is nothing more that can be done, they have no information that will lead to this person. I have had the ISP traced and it belongs to a networked mainframe system with possibly thousands of users. The email address used has been cancelled. The police will not follow up unless there are further problems, one cranky email does not a huge dilemma make! They have more serious crimes to deal with.

I imagine that any online group is going to get its quota of lonely people. People who will use any sort of forum to seek company. Okay so you have to pay to join NRAS but that's a small price for regular company and folk to chat with don't you think? We could go on forever accusing, pointing fingers but at the end of the day unless someone owns up we're stymied!

So please guys can we leave it now and move on? I really need to be answering questions about .... feet not fools Tongue !!!!

yes every body please don,t have your address on here as its puplic and i have had a promlem .

think the promlem came from the forum as really you don,t know if anyone hacks in or who looks at it .

as you get trusting and friendley and never make the misake of leaving your address on .

sometimes you can get it from your profile
