HELP! I can't get back on the Stroke forum. Trying to register it says "The email address you entered is already in use", but I'm not allowed to post anything. Can you get me back to posting again?
user name: Rowland

You're logged in now Rowland, can you post in this username? Or are you saying you tried to make a new name and couldn't? The system will only let one username be registered with any email, so you'll need a new email to make a new name. If you can explain a little more about what is happening and what you're wanting maybe I can help. Then again it might be something only the admins can assist with. ;)

ETA: I see you've posted in the Stroke Forum already as Rowland, are you still having problems now or is everything all right now? :)

Hello Pamster
Sorry to interrupt the flow of this post, but could a mod remove Rowlands email addy from his post. Spambots are trolling

Cheers:)

Uh-oh...That's not good, can you report the post and ask them to edit it for Rowland? I don't think they can without a link to the specific post, thank you for looking out for this member. ;)

If you meant another post that is...THIS thread has the email too, so maybe someone could edit it out here, but is there another post sho-dan, with the email addy? ;)

Hello Pamster

Did'nt mean to sound like an alarmist, the email addy in the post has been edited by spacing it. just this one caught my eye.

Cheers:)

It's so considerate of you to catch that sho-dan I didn't even think about it when replying originally. Thanks for caring like that. ;) :D

I went ahead and deleted the email addy altogether. Spam bots are smart enough to delete the spaces that people use to try to safegaurd their email addy's.

I know for a fact that a lot of spam bots can read the following and "fix" them into real addy's.

johnsmith @abc.com

johnsmith at abc.com

johnsmith @abc .com

The following is the least likely (for now) to get picked up by spam bots.
