A rule for computer users, "When In Doubt, DON'T, and the same goes for clicking willy-nilly on web pages or unknown items.

The upgrade account is suspicious and MAY be a method to collect more personal and private information from forum users.

API is an application programming interface key (API key) it is a unique identifier used to authenticate a user, developer, or calling program to an API, however, they are typically used to authenticate a project with the API rather than a human user. Different platforms may implement and use API keys in different ways.

API keys are generally not considered secure; they are typically accessible to clients, making it easy for someone to steal an API key. Once the key is stolen, it has no expiration, so it may be used indefinitely, unless the project owner revokes or regenerates the key. If an API key is meant to be accessible to the client, it is only considered secure if used together with other security mechanisms such as HTTPS/SSL.

This has just happened right here while I opened the site to reply to you!

I just deleted them.  But the site needs to be protected from this don't you think?

I am also getting this rubbish -- have also sent an email to YLC and did a thread on it as well

I have reported it again to the YLC via email

I just wish the YLC would hurry up and do something about it -- they said they were a week ago

Nothing to do with 'nuisances' Celia, it is a web brouser issue and possibly excess data colllecting on the Google platform which is used by Firefox, Opera, DuckDuckGo, Vivaldi,, Brave and others.

It's  a trap !!

No Lucca, we are not alike, the smart cavemen like me can structure sentences correctly with capital letters and question marks in their correct places.

The picture which you provided is a good one of the rabbit which your mummy gave you for Easter, poor boy. the only egg you get is on your face.

Ha ha ha.   C'mon Lucca. Why don't you start up a Thread of your own and see how many intelligent responses you get.  I dare you. 

Its a fix thats needed, a door has been left open via a possible bot? as one idea. There are others that can jump in.

Big mistake Lucca, you don't see anyany bods because bods are not visible without video conferencing.
yup, without a capital Y at the beginning of a sentence, 'cos is an unintelligent for of because, and Canya are nonsense words only used by your dereliction of school attendance and lack of comprehension and undaunted, abysmal attempts   to deride other individuals due to your inbred, Redneck illiteracy, you failed also because names begin with a capital letter as in Mak, plus, reference should be Mack The Knife which is a song, which is why everything you write can never be anything sensible.
