I would like to contact whoever is in charge of the carvingworld forum. Â*I see there is a link to the left 'contact us' ...but am still not sure from there, which link to use. Â*Do any of you know which one I should use?
Thanks,
tc
By the way, I received another email w/virus (it was picked up by my filter) and it was titled Â*' editors @ carvingmagazine dot com.' Â*
Update: I just took a stab at contacting the editors..hopefully that will work

They have already responded to me! Wow, that was fast

what was there answer?
it would seem that someone has gotten our e-mails from the board and are using them to sent out infected e-mails.have received two messages from commercial business's that they recieved message from me that where infected.i have recieved messages from someone using e-mail from some on this board and supposed carving sites with attachment.my system picked them up and i never open anything with attachments unless it is from someone i know.
i am not sending any messages off line to anyone on this board,with or without attachments unless it is pre arranged with the person

Why we HAVE to have our email addresses listed and suggested to them that it should be optional. I also explained that we are being hit with email virus's, because of it. The person that responded said my email to them was 'good timing' because they are in the process of revamping the website...she was going to forward my email to the person in charge of the 'revamping'.
I hope they make some positive changes soon.

Thanks TC for contacting the editors, it's true, if our e-mail addresses weren't listed here there wouldn't have been a problem, at least from this site!
I received a warning last week from our Internet Provider, e-mails with attachments were being sent out claiming to come from them that contained a virus. Pretty bad when even the people you figure would have the very best virus protection possible get hit too!
Again, thanks for contacting them! Callynne

P.S. Now if they'd just get spell check I'd be really happy! Callynne

I agree, it would be nice to have spell check. I had been thinking about contacting them anyway , as I had a suggestion about the way the forum posts work, so I threw that in while I was whining about the email addresses :

[Hi_Ho_Sliver]

Yes someone is using emails here to send out virus's I just received one from chahlie that was a phony with a virus...norton didn't catch it? ???

[Chahlie]

Hi All,

Just checked this topic and found out Hi-Ho got an email supposedly from me with virus attached. Well 'It' wasn't from me...anyway hope the admin guy's get this stuff worked thru soon!

Chahlie

Don't come down too heavy on admin, if your email is in anybodys address book any place else, the virus could be picking it up there.

BTW I got an alert from Symantec, I think day before yesterday, that a new version of the netsky virus was on the loose.

If your interested in this stuff, stop by sarc.com and you'll find more info than you wanted to know about this virus and viruses in general.
