Thanks for the info, Carol. I'm surprised that Orion doesn't resolve that. Good reason to order by phone I guess...

I will "sticky" it when it slides down in the forum; right now, it's more prominent that if it was stickied at the top; a lot of members don't even look at the sticky posts.

No, I have not; I don't have an Orion account; it's the customer's responsibility to take it up with them. I've just posted this Caution for CN members to be aware of this.

I hope we have volunteers lining up. After all, it would do no harm to have more than one account holder bring it to their attention.

I think anytime anyone uses a Secure Site to order or to check bank accounts etc.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS log out and then close your browser just to safe. Many of your secure sites will tell you this and it is a good habit to get into.

I'll take care of it. Everybody send me their account passwords and I'll log on using each of your accounts and inform them of the problem. Oh, and they might want your credit card numbers also for confirmation purposes, so you better send that to me also.
Better be quick about it, you don't want to get scammed, do you?
