Lightbulb It would have been nice to know my account was hacked..

Next time instead of just an email with a thread link saying the following why not just notify me my account has been jeopardized? Do me a favor and mods go ahead and do what you need to as far as inactivating this account so it doesn't happen again. It's one thing for my account to be hacked, it's another to find out afterwards and have to do the whole password reset and a gripe post in the forum.

Oh, I'm sure there are other members affected also, so fellow forum members, check oyur accounts asap. I know I have now made this post, I don't know what the other one is, but again, just delete this account for me since I only lurk anyhow.

**Kball..thanks for the reporting about the odd posts, whatever they were, as that is the only means by which I found the account password to be invalid and the settings, etc hacked. I appreciate it.

The account now has a completely b*ll-pucky email address just for the spammer who hacked this.

Didn't know it was a real users account. Looked like some spammer made an accout since there weren't many posts under the name. Glad you found out... somehow
