Thanks Rebbonk. Admin Will & I have discussed upgrading to a newer version of VBulletin, and it's on the agenda - just a matter of finding time in busy lives to do it! Dodgy posts are automatically submitted for moderation, so we can vet/delete them before they can be generally viewed. Again, thanks for your ongoing efforts, Rebbonk!  Thanks Rebbonk.

I've done a little digging...
We are currently using an issue of Vbulletin that is no longer supported. The spammers have likely found a way in and whereas before Vbulletin would issue a patch, that isn't going to happen.
I see two possible options...
1) upgrade to the latest issue of Vbulletin. - That will likely have cost implications.
2) vet new members before they are allowed to post. - My assumptions are that we can actually do that (from memory we should be able to) and that the spammers aren't using a backdoor.

Right; the spammers with the email suffixes:
forcemix.online
selovin.art
yagoo.website
yandex.com
***.ua
***.ru
give up, because we're not going to get bored of deleting your accounts as spam.

Spam account registration seems to have quietened down over the last few hours. I'll (and I'm sure Rebbonk will too) will keep monitoring the situation.

Spam is like a cupboard jam packed with junk, open the door and everything tumbles forth! Spam is like a cupboard jam packed with junk, open the door and everything tumbles forth!

I did open it. It'll unlikely hurt opening, Margaret, but don't click any links.

Rebbonk, did you open the messages?
I still have one pending, but don't want to open it.

I've just removed a few more.
I also had a PM, full of garbage.

HI lex I have received a pm, for a spammer for bot , AccfroHydra. but I won't open it. Just deleted it.
Seems a bit problematic with spam at the moment still on the forum.
