Is there really any reason, however childish - that someone would delete the last image post I made? I mean really - this isn't the first time, and it is a little irritating to me as a paying member to this forum.

How can anyone but you or the mods delete anything, Ned?
Posted by Ned Fenimore on June 13, 2008 at 12:21 PM
well, I know that I can - or someone logged in as me - can.. which is what I suspect happens. This has happened at least one other time before - Erik noticed it too... ah well - what does it matter...

It matters plenty Ned. We enjoy seeing your work!

It happened a few times before to me also. No one knew anything about it. But how can someone log in as you? You need a password don't you? Unless your password is password I don't know how it can happen. :biggrin:

Oy, from your title (My Last Post) I thought you were giving it all up! :eek: Glad you're still here.

Someone must be on to your password pattern. Are you using a good strong password? Not kid's names, etc? Hackers are innumerable out there which is frustrating. Mix it up with numbers and punctuation, and never use a word that's found in a dictionary. As a Microsoft certifed developer I probably get overly paranoid about passwords. If someone wants to crack mine they'd better know Old Testament Hebrew. :wink:

Ned - back when I was moderating RMNP, we had an issue like this. It was a network foible if I recall correctly. You may want to contact Jim Erhardt, or ask Rick or Erik to look into it.

That sucks Ned! Are you sure its not your evil twin doing it?! :biggrin:

Sounds like were being hacked. I'll alert Jim E. about the situation.

I certainly haven't been doing any deleting. I DO on occasion make web links in posts clickable which I think does us all a service. I can count the number of times I've deleted a post on one hand and those were under extreme circumstances. I have been known to delete duplicate posts too but even those are rare.

I've done none of the above in quite sometime.
