If anyone here has some expertise on the spambot front, please let me know.

Hi Wendy,

I'm a marketer- have you tried a captcha form? Where folks have to identify pictures- proving human intelligence?

Deineira - thank you!

Pat, thank you for saying just what I wanted to say

Wendy, thank you so much for checking in. I am so very sorry that life has been difficult and challenging recently. I hope things calm down for you and your family very soon. Please know how much I appreciate this forum. I have made so many dear friends here that I communicate with outside of VF also.

I honestly don't care about the design of the forum layout pages or if old sticky threads are left up. I honestly get thrown off by visual changes-I keep sticking to "classic" yahoo mail even though they have an option for an updated version.

Me too! I also keep sticking with the classic yahoo mail. Changes like that really throw me off and things just don't seem right.

I haven't participated on Vf for quite some time, but it would surely sadden me to see it go away. This is still the warmest place on the internet.
