    Default Someone has been trying to crack my password.

    Worth a mention. Someone has tried 5 times to find out my password. fortunately the forum notified me and has blocked them for 15 minutes.

    No the sort of behaviour I would expect from people posting on forums in this type of interest.

    Best all be on our guard.

    Would you please give us an intro Paul and tell us who you are and about your interest in Hi Fi. You need a location in your profile. Thanks.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I've been through Paul! It triggering the thought of "Mousehole" said in a Mickey Mouse voice.. So I Google Mapped it and found indeed that is what I or someone else said in the campervan we were driving around Cornwall in on seeing the sign. Mousehole is another little place down the road from Paul.

    If that sounds confusing, here's the link: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.08...-5.5448179,15z

    10Y - you're on the first page of the member's list. Could be someone simply testing to see if people really do use "password" or any of the other easily guessed passwords that are so commonly talked about on Yahoo News etc

    Ok, Sam, noted. The point is, how is the average person (who's never visited there) meant to know that Paul is an actual place, especially when the name being given by the member as being his name is also Paul? It quite naturally sounds like a piss take, which is why 'Paul' isn't enough on his profile, in terms of location details.

    In that case it should read as: 'Paul, Sheffield, UK'

    Marco.
