Today i went to visit new posts and it said that there were no new posts to view. Which i thought is abit srtange since i have 42 new emails saying that there has been replies on this forum. also 3 of my pm messages are gone. Would this indicate that someone has logged on my account?

So is your name actually Owen?

I've always thought about changing mine to my real name just cause I am so close to a lot of you.

My name's Alex Owen. Owen innovations was a company name i wanted to use if i ever set up a company. I havent set up a company and probably never will it was just something that i thought would be a good company name and it just stuck as my username. I should of used Alex instead of Owen probably but as you lot know me as oweninnovations i figured you would be wondering who i was if i used Alex. The reason for the change in name is i think someone has used my login credentials and changed some settings and deletd pms. God knows how but decided to change username and password to be on the safe side.

Hey owen, its always good to be safe. but I think the way that the server stores cookies and whatnot is a bit screwy. just like the rest of the forums at times. also PMs are kinda sktch and if posts dissapear like you and me have both experience, then i see no reason why PMs shouldnt....:-

Always good to be on the safe side though. im likeing your new name. :)
