Roger, this is something all forum owners need to know. There are a few people who just go around posting new threads and and everywhere even when they have been asked over and over to not do it! We simply cannot cover all the spam going on, it is up to the forum owner to remove new threads that they don't want posted. Also each member is in control of their own Profile Comments and can use the RED X to remove unwanted comments. If you are a forum owner and DO NOT WANT ANY NEW THREADS TO BE MADE IN YOUR FORUM - SIMPLY MARK IT AS 'RESTRICTED' - that way only you can start new threads. I have personally asked a few people to stop posting their ads as new threads in forums. Guess what, all you get back is another ad in your inbox! I have also caught them on chat and asked - that works better, so you might want to try that one. That way you don't get an autoresponse. Sometimes posting in their profile comments helps but I think they also ignore that. There are many good people in Adland and respectful of others but a few can make life miserable if we let them. Just needed to rant a little, I suppose. I feel better. :-) Sara
