I am getting this email verify message from 2014, I have actually resubmitted with a real email address, though I didn't think we needed to display a real one in our profile?

But also it seems everybody's footer signature seems to say 555?


logincheck

555check

Tried 2 diffeent browsers and the avatars have gone too?
<------------

And the locations say 1

Reset profile and re-validated, will see what happens.

I'm getting the same even after resetting and verifying my email?

Hmm something is broken
Ignore my previous comment about not needing a valid email, I did have one thats how you get update notifications
What I think it is , is that all the real email addresses have been deleted along with the avatars etc, hence it asking to re-
verify

Yes, someone has been at it again. We're reviewing at the moment.

Woohoo!

Nice to have it back to good health

Thank you to the engine room people!

many thanks to Luke

Well done for fixing .
Those pesky hackers at it again!?

Correct!

Further to this, please see the notice in the announcements section and change your passwords!

thankyou again Luke,

to change password you go to the top right of the window and where it says

[Catch Up - Logout - Control Panel / Options ]
click
Control Panel / Options
then from
My Home Edit Profile Subscriptions Favourites Donations Help
select
Edit Profile
and the first line of the form allows you to change your password, then save and exit

You will have to re-login after the password is changed (which is reasonable)

I must admit that I still worry about the number of guests shown at the bottom of the page - you expect a small number of people who don't yet want to sign up as a member, but as I type this there were 157.

I suspect that there are a lot of bots poking at the site...

yep same problem.
Password changed (and profile edited to get dates etc working correctly again)

I changed my email yesterday and that was okay but now there is no edit button on my profile.

I have also lost about 80% of my photos in the archive

Aha, I'm finally back in. I tried the verify email yesterday and nothing happened, today it's let me back in which is good. I've not had chance to look at any posts though.

Yeah you have to redo your location and clock settings etc.
