I was born on Vancouver Island but many people find it odd that Vancouver is not on the island.

As for the transfer from the US to Canada, no doubt some Americans can once again blame us for "stealing" their jobs.

Check your spam folder.

Bloody Hell - that's the first time I've had false positives with gmail.

I'm trying to work out why they are flagged and can't spot anything obviously different.

Thanks for the headsup.

Maybe the ip-range.

Speaking of spam. We are seeing a bit of spam activity lately. Don't bother posting in those threads as the mods are deleting them as soon as we spot them.

Have a great day.

I did the "west coast trail" at Vancouver Island, best vacation I ever had. Lemme know when you need work done on the servers, looking for a reason to cross the pond again...

I have noted some spambots logging in too. One of them seems to be able to get in and read the contact list so I have hidden my email address until more security is implemented.

The security here on the new server setup here on the new server is the same as the old server, with one exception - its using a different library to generate the CAPTCHA security image used for registration. The spammers must be better at automatically reading this type, so I've enabled a few more options (random font etc). If it does help I'll track down the packages I need to reenable the old CAPTCHA image generation stuff.
