Bogus Posts Invalidate What's New?

[Tunes]

The "What's New?" feature is really useful. Several of the posts today, labeled as by Fashion Master, have no content and make the feature not reflect recent input.

My guess is that Fashion Master intended to do harm and has been removed. This could happen again.

It looks like Fashion Master is no longer a user here. If my guess is close, is there a way to reset the dates of the threads?

If the guess is wrong, what is the cause?

Fashion Master was undoubtedly a spammer. Andrew removed the posts and the user id, but the deleted posts still showed up in the What's New? list. Andrew will have to figure out how to remove deleted posts from this list.

Try using Quick Links > Today's Posts to list recent posts.

Also create a bookmark for Today's Posts: http://vortexbox.org/search.php?do=getdaily that's easily accessible from your browser.

Yes the spammers have found our new forum already. Please PM Ron or I if you see a spam post. My goal is to have them banned in 4 hours or less. I'll see if I can get them off the "What's new" list.
