Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom.

I've tried this and it doesn't seem to work.

I've resorted to setting a rule on my inbox that deletes any email from feedback@railforums.co.uk with the word 'update' in the subject automatically. It's worked wonders.

Just out of question, has there been any system tests this evening which has sent out email alerts? I've had 2 this evening which are the - Failed Login Notification - Am I being hacked? Using an IP Locater, it appears to be from China - 117.169.1.221 hock:

I run a few vbulletin forums like this, and hack attacks like this happen from time to time. It's likely to be a brute force attack, with a computer controlled by hackers trying as many user names and passwords as possible. If the forum system has been set up correctly to ban ip addresses after a few failures there shouldn't be any danger of an account being accessed, unless the password is really insecure. A non dictionary word combined with numbers should be enough to prevent attacks like this from succeeding. If it is a brute force attack the attackers don't care what the site is our who you are, so this site or individuals aren't being targeted.
