Today messages received from admin@dungeon-master.com had some funky text, 6 messages were garble like this
=?UTF-8?B?VG9waWMgcmVwbHkgbm90aWZpY2F0aW9uIC0gIkZhdm9yaXRlIE9uZSBMaW5l?=
Not sure what to make of it, has there been a change or has someone been hacking the accounts? it still points to the forum.

Re: weird titles to messages
I have checked in the Admin Control Panel of the forum, and there were some error messages on the front page regarding some PHP text encoding settings:
Gambit, in the hosting cPanel, under "Software and Services", I opened "PHP version" and selected version 5.6 instead of version "5.4 (native)" that was selected.
This seems to have fixed the error messages.
I'm not sure if this is related to the messages that you received, chaos-shaman.
Function overloading is improperly configured
mbstring.func_overload must be set to either 0 or 4. You can check the current value on the PHP information page.
Transparent character encoding is improperly configured
mbstring.encoding_translation must be set to 0. You can check the current value on the PHP information page.
HTTP input character conversion is improperly configured
mbstring.http_input must be set to pass. You can check the current value on the PHP information page.
HTTP output character conversion is improperly configured
mbstring.http_output must be set to pass. You can check the current value on the PHP information page.

Re: weird titles to messages
Yeah, something changed on the server which the hosting company is investigating. But switching it tp PHP5.6 is a good idea anyway, so I'll consider that fixed. Thanks for sorting it
