Hopefully admin will get to the bottom of it soon.  I hope other Rootschatters see this thread before they are tempted to click on the dodgy link thinking it’s genuine.

There has also been a couple of spam threads on RC over the last week, I think using genuine RC members user names, they were deleted.
Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton

I have reported this thread to Moderators. Saying we hope there is a way to solve the problem.
Here's hoping.

As many of you know, it can be a struggle to keep the infrastructure of this site running. It has over twenty years of posts and images that have to be stored, backed-up, and the servers themselves are owned and paid for by ourselves. RootsChat is free to use,  but not free to run.

To keep the site going, we show ads. This alert is shown to people who for some reason or another don't allow ads to be shown. It's a small way for us to attempt to recover lost revenue. To stop seeing that alert, just enable ads to be shown on RootsChat.

Logged in users are not shown ads anyhow, so once you're in you won't see them. Happy days.
