    Not a problem Admin . But at the bottom of the GC page this little line appears "Tac Anti Spam from Surrey Forum " ??? Pasting this into Google takes you to Surrey Forums , which appears to be being spammed by.........

          I never look at the bottom of the page :dunno: so didn't know that there were any ads there. :)

          I've just looked and there's one trying to recruit me into the RAF. They must be really hard up for recruits :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            If you're on a mobile like I am, you can't block the ads. That's unfortunate, because they are getting more and more intrusive. I've just now experienced a pizza equivalent of a 90s pornado.

                Tac Anti spam is our anti spam software, sadly the owner of the software seems to have run into misfortune and is unable to work on his own website, the software here however still works and blocks about 200 spam bots a day

                    That made me look closer :blue thumb: and with a bit of work I have found it. :phew: :)

                    I wouldn't normally see it because I have my viewing window completely filling the screen and covering up the GC/Xenforo background. I lifted my screen slightly and even then had difficulty in reading the minute words in green on a brown background. I then dropped my viewing screen back down over it. I had originally stretched my GC viewing screen to completely fill the screen but had forgotten how I managed to do that so had to work on it. :doh:
