I do not find anyprivate messages listed, nor do I have any idea as to what they mean by spam. I just re registered for the new forum and probably do not have any new posts, so I am wondering what is going on.

Perhaps one of the site administrators could e mail me at my listed account, as nothing is showing in the private messages portion.

Thanks

J.J.( Jeff) King, RPh

I received a similar message but when I logged in, the dialog box said I did not have privileges to view it.

Our website administrator has obviously deleted that particular PM from all of our in-boxes.

I also received this e-mail but did not click on the link. Instead I went to the Forum and logged in. I had no new private message.

Same message showed up in my registered email account. No private message exists. Looks like an attempt to steal login info.
