Well they seem to be back. I can still edit posts and banning still works but the delete a whole thread seems to have dissaoeared. Now I can edit posts but they are still there.
How is retirement treating you? I have transitioned to consulting which is working out to be about half time. Nice to be able to spend holidays with family and not trek into office.
There have been a couple more spam posts since, but they are all from users that registered prior to our update - so far looks like the improvements have done the trick!
