Hi,

Due to the enormous volume of spam we've decided to temporarily disable forum registration (we've probably had to delete 20 spam members per day over the last few days).

Hopefully this won't last longer than the next few days, by which time resident phpbb hero Mr Ironside will have upgraded us to 3.0.8 which should give us better protection against spammers.

If we cannot get 3.0.8 up and running within the next few days, I guess we'll have to go to moderator activation of user accounts; it's quicker to kill the spammers that way than letting them join & post.

If anybody reading this needs to register, please contact me: robiniddon googlemail com (use your imagination to insert @ and . in the relevant places ;-)).

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Cheers,
Robin
