Does the server that hosts FK also host any other forums? sharedordedicatedhosting.com suggests not, but this morning I received two odd e-mail notifications telling me of new posts in subscribed threads, but the topics seem unrelated to FK:

A new post has been added to the topic "GIVI DRO"
A new post has been added to the topic "DC DRIVES"

In both cases the supposed username was 'Lakshmielectro'. A quick Google suggests this might be a company name rather than an individual user, so maybe the forum was spammed and I got the notifications before the posts were removed?

The links themselves do point to legitimate (albeit old) posts in subscribed threads. Very strange.

Hi

We had a spammer this morning with that user name. He posted on lots of topics with revised titles on his threads and you would have received notifications if you were subscribed to any of the ones he posted on. All his posts have been deleted and his user name has been deactivated, so that's why nothing comes up when you try to check the links in the notifications

Thanks. I had a feeling it was something that had already been sorted and that I was seeing after-effects. My job keeps me effectively cut off from the electronic world for eight hours a day so I'm sometimes a bit behind the curve on weekdays!
