Default Virus in the e-mail system

Hi mods,

Just wanted to let you know that I think there's a virus in the e-mail system when you get the newest reply to a thread you've posted on. I have a bunch of e-mails in my inbox this morning, all with spam crap in them for an escort service. I don't want to post it here, but send me a message and I can forward them to you if need be.

I also am getting the emails with this same thing. It looks that it was fine at 4:20pm yesterday but my email that came in at 11pm has it. It looks normal but instead there is an added chunk of advertising of the 'service' stuck square in the middle of the persons post.

Well, when I got your reply it was free of spam, so hopefully it's over

There was a spammer on the site last night posting nonsensical replies with escort service info in them. I banned him last night and removed the posts. Its a never ending battle, but we find them and ban them as quickly as we can.

Cheers,
Bryan
