Hi Joe, as your understandable anger made you protest in public, please let me explain what I think happened here, because it's also of general interest, kind of. Some madman who either runs or is fan of a webpage about "ethical cheating" in chess (ROTFL), seems to try to logon as other people to raise interest in his contributions. CCC and CTF share a common user database, so everyone can read and write in both forums per default. It's most likely that whoever it is just tries some very obvious passwords, so you should consider changing your password now, using the member admin page: http://www.talkchess.com/forums/edit.html I am sure it won't be too difficult to stop him for the administrator, it's only a very new development. "Your" alleged message in CTF will be gone soon. Cheers, Peter
