I have removed around 25 to 30 spam attacks this afternoon - I may have missed a few, so if you've reported them and they're still there, please report again and I'll take a sledgehammer to them (which I wish I could employ literally) tomorrow.

Anyone else getting a pop up advert in the middle of the screen when opening  a painting in the gallery? This only happens for the first one when I access the gallery, but it is annoying.

Yes Christine, that seems to be a new thing, but for the sake of clicking on the close button I think it’s fair do’s on a free site.

I agree with both, it is slightly annoying but, as Anthony says, a small price to pay for use of a site.
