I have been messaged by "someone" whose user name is a colour, asking if I want to chat hmm

Have reported it, but thought it rather odd as "they" addressed me by a very old GN user name that I only used temporarily.

I've had this today too phoenix. I just deleted it. I wasn't sure whether to report it.

They were possibly attracted by a resuscitated thread/blog.

Just to say thanks to those who reported these messages. You shouldn't get any more, but if it ever happens again do let us know.

It's best to report them, you may not be the only one, and block the user.

I very rarely PM people so do not check my box but on looking now I do not have one fortunately.

I've never pm'd anyone yet ! Those I do occasionally get, apart from one or two, I delete the name without opening. Opening one can infect the computer/laptop/mobile.

Sounds as though enough of us were invited to Durham to hold a large GN meet there!

Hello all,

Actually, I exchange the occasional pm, but only with those I know, although having said that I have had some from members who wanted to comment on a post, but didn't want to do it publicly. No problem with that at all.

But a pm from someone saying "Hi, I'm (name) would you like to chat?" gets no response from me, just reported!
