I tried to add an image for the first time in about two or three weeks last night around 10pm. That is when I first noticed it.
Ok. At least that tells me the problem isn't something I did last night.
But it may just be me. I would have someone else try to add a photo and see if they have the same problem.
I tried, both as an individual and as an administrator. No luck in either case. I've spent much of the evening going over the various (and VERY numerous) administrator options to no avail. Cynthia has not been answering emails so I left a voice mail for her at home. Hopefully she'll get back to me so I can find out who to contact when problems like this arise.
Wasn't there one one or two months ago - the first time you said that you were turning the gallery comments off.
Oh, ok, I remember. That's where a number of folks, mostly with made up names, registered for the list in the middle of the night. Back then one could register and be given full access to the list immediately. Fortunately I was on line and saw what was happening and immediately went in an manually put them all on moderation. I emailed them to that effect and (surprise, surprise) none of them ever replied or posted to the list. That, BTW, was when I changed the list to "automatically moderated" for newbies (I didn't change the Comments option at the time as I didn't think it would be a problem <wrong!>).
500 plus messages has got to be a spambot.
Or a bunch of sweatshop workers in Bombay. :) patrick
