That's what needrain did. He copied and pasted the private link that was emailed to him, right into a thread here at ATP. Hamilton then clicked on that link and then he was logged in as needrain.

The solution for everyone is: if you have a special access link emailed to you, never forward that or give it to anyone else. This applies to ALL websites, not just Garden.org.

I didn't really do that @dave. What I think I might have done is exactly what I'm doing here - using the quote function to welcome Suzan Catim. It was coffee time and I don't really remember whether there was a link in her message or not. At the time, her post looked legitimate. So already I'm breaking my rule about not posting until I get the all clear. If that is what happened, then it was far, far too easy and somehow needs to be blocked. Can you check and see if that's what I did this morning? Or is it all well and truly gone to the ether?
