Most probably won't cause any issues, but if you see a new member with a web site in their Home Page (which is under the Contact Info tab), they are definitely a spammer. So please let us know about those members and we can take care of it.

We've been pretty good at keeping spammers off of YorkieTalk, we did add another modification to the YorkieTalk forum software this past weekend, which will make it a bit harder for spammers to get on YT. Thanks!
Thanks for the explanation Admin. It has been odd that there has been such a huge amount of spam type of Newbies registering in the last few days. (So obviously, whatever you have been doing in the past has been working.)

Also, appreciate the information about the website link on their homepage and will report, if I see that.

By-the-way, thanks for all that you do.
