Morning
As the site has got more popular there has been an increasing amount of 'hack' attempts on the site. We are getting continually spammed by bots (see below)and its causing me quite a few headaches and a fair amount of work.
As a result of this I've had to increase the security on the site. At the moment this only affects new users registering on the site (they will have to type in a security code to create an account). I may have to extend this to include password resets and messages sent using the 'contact us' form, but I'll see how it goes.
I don't want to make the site any less usable, so its a bit of a balance.
As always please contact me if you are affected by these changes, I've tested as much as possible but please let me know if you have any problems logging in or accessing the site.
Thanks
Rob
