Thread moved to "Issues with this forum" forum ...

If you're receiving PM spam, please post the username of the spamming user. An admin will investigate.

I'll send them a head up about your spam

stanleyrec> what about "profilicus" as the naughty user ?

Thanks.
I didn't find a way to report or forward a PM to an admin.
"admin" isn't even a valid username.
This would be more convenient and efficient than what we're doing here.

Best regards,
François

In future either email admin {at} foldingforum {dot} org, or send a PM to either myself or bruce (or both).

Thanks uncle.
But I was asking how to forward the spam PM.
There's no "Forward" or "Report" button in the PM reading window. (at least I don't see them)

And from the PM index, I only see a drop-down list which allows to mark/unmark a message as important, delete it, or move it the the Saved folder.

Best,
François

The old Copy/Paste should work.
And for clarity, you could wrap what you copy/paste in "QUOTE" marks.

Peace

Same here. I second the ban.

Thanks, banned. Unfortunately any PMs already sent won't be removed automatically.

If you click on the ! in the triangle at the top near the Quote radio button it will link you to a place to report the Post.
