I discovered a mass of unanswered posts when going direct to the forums.
I was up-to-date in My Forum Treads (it seemed)
Also going to see the threads of a known spammer didn't help as they were not up-to-date either (so I again had to go direct to forums he haunts to get rid of his spams).
(Yes I know there is another thread but the update to that might well not be noticed.)
