Just thought that might bear investigating? And if nothing else, caution?

The sending avatar may not appear in search because it has been suspended or banned for spamming and phishing for passwords (or search could be broken, but I'm guessing the former). |

Thanks for the heads up Florence, good work notifying us, I didn't know about that one.
(can't see how you can get into trouble with the name in this case: they don't appear in Search so not a valid avatar so not 'really' being named are they (would have to study forum rules for what can't be named, but can't be bothered!) Thanks anyway. - U2 _____________________

OK.. I *can* be bothered.
I went to 'GUIDELINES - please read before posting' at the top of the screen which is where I would expect to be told 'don't post names', and all I could see was a reference to '...or "naming names" in a posts title.' which doesn't apply (although it does have a missing apostrophe!) *shrugs* _____________________
