Possible profile theft...
 

<font color="blue">I am on right now @ 11:50pm est &amp; I checked 'who's online'&amp; noticed there were many
anonymous users 'looking at members profile'. Not one or two, but 20 or 30 !!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

I think this may become a problem. I had that happen on my old website
&amp; had to shut it down due to members getting spam &amp; such due to the same reason.

Just letting you know, if you haven't noticed. BEWARE. </font>

I've noticed that too Mike...96 people looking at user profiles counted at 9:03pm AZ time!

Maybe you should have to register or better yet be a paid member before you have access to that info.

Re: Possible profile theft...
 

that is really disturbing, many sites only allow registered users to view member profiles. again my Emailbox is flooded with offers to get me a "Sonic-Johnson" I'll have to change my email AGAIN !!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Re: Possible profile theft...
 

Its going on again right now, there are 364 anonymous users on and a BUNCH of them are checking profiles. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif

AND my spam folder is starting to fill up. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

I brought this up to Tom C. a few days ago and he said unfortunately this is the price of doing business as the web site gets bigger. I felt he had the situation under control. Am sure Mr. Clary will chime in to explain.

Not a bad idea to have limited access to profiles - other sites do it.

Not sure what i would do if this site went down for even a few seconds, er minutes, er hours..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Possible profile theft...
 

Maybe I'm wrong but I think you MUST be registered, and MUST be logged on to view members' profiles. Anonymous users viewing a members profile may be some like me; who have chosen the "Anonymous" feature in their profile. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Possible profile theft...
 

That must explain why my spam mailbox is getting three times the mail as it used to...

Re: Possible profile theft...
 

I just looked. That is out of control!
