I am a freelance writer and artist living in New England. I have articles published in Woman's Own Magazine, Parentguide News, Our Journey, Franklin Publishing, London Press, and newspapers.

Soup Issues

Blog Posted:6/14/2022 3:50:00 PM

Hi Everyone. I see the warning from Tom about a Hacker here. I also addressed the issue of getting emails again when comments or replies are made on my poems. That had been changed a while back and re-started recently. I also wrote to Admin. Today , but it came directly back at me to my email with what appears to be an IP address. Then, I turned off the feature in my settings that allows for contact by email per comments and contacted Admin by email again. The same thing happened? It came directly to me in my email. Does anyone have this happen? Thank you! Heidi

That's very strange Heidi, I contacted them about the vile comments and they did respond the same day and quickly removed the comment. I'd left it on because I wanted people to see how easy it was to steal someone's identity. Tom

Update. I did receive a response from them that states they are notifying us again. But...I am still in question about my contact to them coming straight to my email when I send it out.

Yes. I cannot contact them Joseph. It is coming straight back to my email as if I wrote to myself. They need to update us.
