You could selfie with the SWAT team #SWATselfie

Twirly - he might be in time to help you out with bathtime?

Great minds, SuffolkNWhat

Should I run the hoover round, and put make up on? Damn my stupid transparent eyebrows.

The last time I had the police knocking on my door was Christmas day (looking for previous tenant) The greedy buggers polished off half a tin of celebrations in the time it took me to locate my tenancy agreement and ID.

They will be sorely disappointed with some shrivelled grapes and a disgusting attempt at gluten free cookies that even the kids wont touch...

I think its happening again - funny writing instead of the MN sticky

Absolutely Stratters. You should run to the shop to make sure you have and to offer them too.

In all seriousness though, it's a horrid experience to be swatted.

I'm also going to hoover just in case.

I have tried to change the email associated with this account a few times now but when I try to confirm it I get this error (on Safari and Firefox). Off to try again.

headless, yes, that looks suss - have you reported to MNHQ?

The 'proper' MN address should start with 'https', that one has the 's' missing.

Please report, I will too to make sure they see it quickly.

LOL at photos

I'd better get some tea in though just in case, and iron the doormat.

Yes "timedout" Errors everytime you try to log in, happening on AOL too.

If any of us do get swatted we should put a poster up outside our houses explaining what it is. Just imagine if it was one of our neighbours, we would be desperate to know.

They can't SWAT me.
Once we had 2 fire alarms on the same night. it was blaring outside of our room, door open. The NDNs heard it. I slept through it

Pootling - afaik that's happening to a load of people me included. Not a security thing probably just a glitch?

pacific I though the https was only on the login page not the others, am I wrong?

Pacific - actually I think the HTTPS thing is only the log in page. The others are normally HTTP.

They're used to coming here because of my ex, so I'm not that concerned I'll pop the hoover round though and my face on incase of a sexy one.

I'm too tired for this to happen tonight.

If anyone and I mean anyone side eyes swat team knocks here tonight I'll be very cranky.

I don't understand I log in via secure https but once I am in the url changed to http.

Yep. I didn't think it was a security thing. All this has made me realise I shouldn't really use my main email account for MNing. I'm just being impatient otherwise I'll forget.

My parents were swatted when I was a kid (lookimg for a visitor - mistaken identity). Whole village was blocked off. I slept through it all, by my mum famously (in family folklore) opened the door & said "OOH you look just like the professionals"

The dog hid & pretended to be asleep.

Thanks Stephanie for clarification
