Ever heard of trojans gathering information such as email addies from an infected system and sending the data to whoever planted the trojan OR has the right scripts running to intercept these kind of data???
Guess not.

I'll repeat the crucial line here: Members systems are most likely infected with trojans generating spam. So what do you think you prove with above mentioned actions?
What guarantees do you have that the system used by the person you sent an email to is not generating spam (with a possible spoofed alias)!!!

Oh, and I'm not just another layman but a professional MCSE systems administrator so I know what I'm talking about.

You're talking about email addies being stolen and send to themselves.
That is a sure sign of someones system infected with a trojan and producing spam send to all addies in the local address book(s).
Or, if you only would go through the trouble of checking out the header information of the emails you're receiving, you will discover that the actual sender is not what it says in the "from" field but it's someone else. That is called "spoofing", a trick almost as old as the internet.
So don't blame Rendo, blame the ones you've sent mail to and that don't have a clue or care to protect their system against viri and hackers.

How many of you rely on the built-in firewall that comes with XP/Vista? Keep in mind this firewall will protect your system from hostile intrusions but it won't protect others from virus generated emails sent from your system. For all you know there could be a trojan on your system sending hundreds of spam mails....

And don't confuse IM's (Instant Messages, the notes you send through Sitemail)  with E-mail.
IM's never leave the Rendo servers, whereas e-mails travel the internet from the sender to a mail server to another mailserver and to the recipient. And a lot can happen on that journey.

I'm unable to upload my Free Stuff items.
Didn't have this problem in the past.
Now, when I click on "Upload" nothing happens; no "Error" message, simply nothing.
I'd be happy if some one could assist.

:thumbupboth:
And congrats on your wedding anniversary!

It reads "min 0 x 0 / max 0 x 0 @ 0 kB for this gallery section" at the upload page indeed but  this has no consequences, I managed to upload  a 300KB image .

"who is the Poser freestuff mod" ?
There's none, just Poser mods.

"But the MAIN reason, yes, was bandwidth. It was slowing things down tremendously." Does that mean nothing to you? So you prefer a slooooow site? Funny!

TANSTAAFL or "Only the sun rises for free"!! Ya don't know your classics, man! Back to school and read the Heinlein novel again: "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966)"

Why should you stop, I have plenty of beer, popcorn and hamsters, so, please continue.

Congratz StaceyG and good luck with the new job, you'll need it: Hard to fill in (?) for Spike. ;-) Spike, all the best with your vessels, if I had the doe I'd sure buy one of these magnificent objects. Andy

the download is stopped by a "Reset By Peer"<: The prob is in fact not caused by Rendo but by the server(s) you're downloading from. If the up-/download level there is set at a minimumlevel and your conection is not that wide, the posting at Rendo might absorb so much of the availlable bandwith that there's not enough left for the up-/download and this is terminated by the Peer (the up-/download server.

Found out the web-wizards applied your suggestion and this one button for removal of all IM's shown is a real improvement! Thanks Pat and all others involved.
