I am an officer and active member of the club and in the last 6 months my log in has been disabled into the club website.   I am an officer and when I launch the admin console I find I have been moved to the former member section.  How do I get this stopped and if someone else accidentally hit something to do it, how do we find who?

It is possible that you forwarded an email to someone else that clicked the "Not a Member?" link in the email.

Because your club has enabled "Not a Member?" links in emails to members (in the Email and Contact Forms module), you can run into your problem if any of those emails are forwarded to a non-member.   The links in the emails are specific to the original email recipients, therefore if any of the emails are forwarded, and the forward recipient clicks the "Not a Member?" link, then it would move the original recipient to the former members list.

I have been looking for a good way to prevent this for some time, but it appears that this is similar to well-known, long-standing issues with unsubscribe links in HTML emails.     (If a person receives a forwarded email containing an unsubscribe link, they can click it and unsubscribe the original recipient of the email.)  

See the following for additional background info:

No, you shouldn't be forwarding the agendas without removing the name/pictures of the members, and then you can remove the link.
