Be careful of anything that is sent by email. Hover over the link that the email suggests you click on and check that it starts with www.paypal.co.uk and not www.xxxx.paypal or www.paypal.xxxxx there are plenty of spams out there at the moment. The page you go to is created by a fraudster it looks like ebay or a bank or paypal and asks for your password and user name.

Happy New Year to you all
All the best for 2009

Our sister title, ePHOTOzine, is running a feature on Apple's image-editing tool - Aperture www.ephotozine.com/article/Aperture-image-editing-1. At the bottom of the article is a easy-to-enter competition with a chance to win three copies of the program. Worth a go? You have to be in it to win it

yes I've just fixed another too. It seems that some of you guys or in the same IP range as the spammers and rather than delete a specific IP the tech guy removed a range.

Actually are any of you banned members around at the moment as guests? If so, can you email me with your IP address I have one other idea to try. [email protected]">[email protected] (change pu to pentaxuser)

Sorry everyone.
We have a problem. Not sure how to fix it either. Richard banned several spam IP addresses today. For some reason that's affected several members. Hi unblocked the IPs but that's not fixed the problem. We can't work out what to do? So we get rid of spam but with that goes half the Pentax User member list. Not exactly what we had in mind. The IT guys are off for the weekend now. Can I suggest if anyone is struggling to log in that they send me their IP address and I'll see if any have been put on the list by accident.
Thanks and sorry once again.
We didn't build this forum if it was hand built I could definitely resolve it.

The *ist DS has just been tested in a head to head alongside the Olympus E-300 in Digital Camera Buyer and it won...five stars

Hi Gary
That sounds like you may have to get them to a binocular repairer. Pentax UK will do them and if you are a member of the club you get a 20% discount. I can't think how you could do the repair yourself.
