So you have purchased a business, and got with it a web page you do not even know how it works...? My suggestion is for you to find ASAP someone who knows how to manage an oscommerce store (yeah, one of those guys you actually have to pay to do something you know nothing about) I understand that you are talking about your shop located here: http://www.charactercrazy.co.uk/shop/ And the strange text would be: "Blimey, secure your admin area!" Someone is basically telling you hey, you have your admin area public... anyone can do whatever they want with your shop, which is true, since anyone can access your admin section on : http://www.charactercrazy.co.uk/shop/admin/ So yes, you should secure your admin area, or for now take down the shop until you learn a little bit how it works. I doubt the 5 customers that have signed up so for on your store would be happy to know that their info is up there for anyone to see.

Thanks, I am considering shutting the store, just seems a shame when it is already paid for but unless a friend of mine can help I will not be able to sort it out. The 5 customers are ones from the previous owner, I assumed it was in a working order when I acquired it but obviously not. Thanks for your help.
