For a few days it seemed no one was posting in the Non-Food messages pages until this morning I noticed that there were posts yesterday but no 'unread' red marker on the first forum page. So today I clicked on the non-food related forum page and every post from way back had a red 'not read' marker beside it!
Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe it was just a glitch on my laptop, but if there's no markers tomorrow, I'll make a point of looking to see if there are any unread posts there.

I don't think you can really call it spam on that forum. It is for buying, selling, etc and it doesn't say you can't place a commercial ad. For that reason, I never even bother going there. Too many overseas people are trying to buy or sell stuff and I find that particular forum is not relevant to us anymore.

I have just discovered this problem as well Lorna on the non-food page with red flags next to the whole lot.I have just gone through heaps of them.Some were current some I had seen.What I had done the last time I read them was to mark the page as read.I did this as I didn't choose to read what I think are ads at the top of the list.I was thinking gosh where is everyone!

Responding again to J1: When spammers use the foodie forums for their commercial advertising, such as the two posts in this forum today by one person who regularly advertises not only in the Buy Sell Swap forum but this one and the Foodlovers forum, maybe we should turn the tables. We should form a group that spams them back through the Private Messaging function and flood their inboxes with messages to 'get lost', 'go away', 'keep out', etc, etc.
Or maybe admin could block this person. I can't understand why they haven't been blocked as they very regularly put their advertising posts on here. This person is as bad as the other word that got blocked!! I thought it was a rule of the forums that there would be no commercial advertising, so why is this person's posts allowed to remain on the site? I have reported this person several times but as no action has been taken, I've given up.

No point, spam is usually generated by computer programmes, and that is why they are able to get past Helen's security systems I think.
Once there is any acknowledgement of their posts they will NEVER leave us alone, the system comes back to anything it thinks is reading.
