Not a big deal for members of the site BUT it will certainly be of some use to me in my ongoing efforts to keep AmeriCymru spam and troll free. We get a number of applications to join at the moment from twerps masquerading as hairdressers e.g. Black Hairstyles Long Extensions . Possibly they are concerned at the condition of SJ's coiffure ? I dont know...but I suspect that they want to deluge us with offers of cheap 'gas cards' and worse. Anyway I now have a new tool to deal with dodgy 'hairdressers' and other online parasites. Oh happy day

I never cease to marvel at the ways of the mighty Google...but looking at the ads on this page I cannot fathom how they got from dodgy hairdressers and IP banning to 'Vietnam Vets"!!!! Ahhhh ....I see the ads have changed...an improvement but still somewhat inscrutable

Another interesting snippet of information from the back room. Since we introduced the multiple platform signin option earlier this year 429 members have elected to use it in preference to their dedicated AmeriCymru signin details:-

This is a useful feature because once you have associated your google, twitter or FB signin with your AmeriCymru account ( and provided you are signed in to the appropriate service when you open AC ) you can simply click on the relevant icon ( front page top right hand corner signin panel ) and you will be logged in automatically. Saves a few seconds and a bit of typing AND allows you to get away with forgetting your site password
