Just wondering as it seems pretty handy.

If it does work who does it mail? A set group of people of the Mods/Admin for that forum only?

Great to be back by the way 🙂

I seem to remember the admins saying at some point ( **Lynn** IIRC) that they get enough spam as it is without making it even easier for the spammers to harvest their addresses.

If it hasn’t been turned off already, I expect to see it go soon.

That seems fair enough **kabbes** , cheers.

Another thing does anyone know if the 10 posts per page is changable. Threads are going to go to a lot of pages if not.
