• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

"A web forum has been hacked, with more than 100,000 accounts exposed, according to a prominent security researcher.

Troy Hunt runs Have I Been Pwned?, a database of stolen user accounts dedicated to informing victims.
The data from the latest breach, which includes email addresses, usernames, IP addresses and passwords, .....

It included government and military email addresses, Mr Hunt said.
The site had been using out-of-date software that had made the hack attack fairly simple, he said."

There is no way I'm putting my email address into a web site.... but I did enter part of it for search purposes.

It was found on a site I have never used so the only partial match to my addy is not to me.

How's the tin hat, Robert ? ;)

Your test proves nothing, in that case. How do you know that someone hasn't used your email address to register on that site (the one you never used) ? Many sites allow registration without any form of validation. Pace Ashley Maddison.
