Vivaldi Chat or Email Spam
-
I downloaded and setup Vivaldi and a user ID to allow forum posts about 2 days ago:
and posted an item to a forum.TODAY - 2 days later - I have a spam 'Chat Message' sent to my Vivaldi ID email account !!
From '[email protected]'
Somone is mining the new or forum posts for Vivaldi users or ID email addresses.
I cant see any place the email address is displayed and I double checked my settings to see if there was any further privacy enforcement setting. I can't see any. Perhaps a 'Chat Request Suppression' needed ?I'm concerned.

Hmm, the Vivaldi email addresses can't be anonymous. Anyone can look up names of users who are registered to the site, and therefore send a message to the according usermail, since the vivaldi.net mail address is that username.

By the way, I don't remember signing up for anything, but I regularly get "Digest" emails, and there is NO LINK TO UNSUSCRIBE!
What is this, 2001?Also, as far as I can tell, there is no way to change your forum password.
Spam and no security. Great.

@Narushima: You can change your password rather easily - just click on your avatar (top right-ish part of the screen), go to "Edit" and then "Change Password".
That wasn't the case when I last was here. Thanks.
