Someone came on last night and posted a bunch of messages with links to buy shoes. Spam links. They were flagged for swirt to remove. It causes the topics to come up as unread on your screen and when you go there will be no new posts.
 
Thanks for all the flagging all the spam. I appreciate the efforts, The spammer has been banned and blocked.
