I hope no one objects to this post but I can't think of anywhere more appropriate to post it.
Most of us will be aware of 'The Other Place', Narrow Gauge Railway Modelling Online' which to my mind works well with the Societiy's Forum, there not being MUCH crossover.
Since yesterday, at about, I think, 6pm, I have been unable to connect to NGRM. Does anyone know if the Forum is down or is it just me?
On a different topic, I think my email has been hacked and those who are in my address book may well have been receiving annoying advertising matter from me.
I apologise for this but regret there is nothing I can do about it.
Once again, sorry if it is thought I am using this forum incorrectly.

Appears to be a server fault, it's happened before, and in all probability will happen again, no doubt Roger & Matt will get it fixed as soon as possible.
I had the same problem last night. As of a minute ago, it appears to be back to normal.

It seems to happen more frequently these days.
Anyone with a hotmail account (including "live") or a yahoo account (including BT customers) should change their passwords frequently (I won't say "regularly").
It's probably a good idea for gmail/googlemail users to do the same (says he with a gmail a/c!)
Occasionally big blocks of passwords get hacked - but they may not be used maliciously immediately. By changing your password you make it harder for your a/c to be used by others
I have been on NGRM most of the day without problems; I quite regularly get emails with no content or uninteligible urls from friends and aquaintances. I now delete anything I have any doubt about
Neither this or NGRM are Yahoo groups but the ones I use are currently plagued with problems. On one or two, without a good computer problem to chew over there would be nothing doing
