I second that. 👍

This specific skin is essentially what defines this community. It's what makes this site what it is. The real question isn't about the design itself, but how the users here would react to such a massive shift. Sometimes, I think it's better to avoid these kinds of experiments altogether.

What kind of "clean"? Unless we're talking about undescended testicles—cryptorchidism, if you want to be technical—we’re just guessing here. We don't actually know the specifics of his situation. I'm speaking hypothetically, but if even one of his testicles is healthy, he can still have kids.

I'm with you on this. You really need to go get an eye exam at a clinic.

Raymond Brooks8 said:But from what I can gather—and I think you hit the nail on the head here—there really isn't a workaround for this. A password isn't something someone can just snatch out of thin air without some serious effort... unless, of course, you just wipe the slate clean by deleting the account entirely and starting over from scratch. 😕

Unfortunately, there's no other way around it. The Admins are going to have to scrub Raymond Brooks8's account and delete every single one of his posts—even the nonsense ones.

Honestly, this whole situation is driving me a bit crazy...

It doesn't matter if the browser didn't save anything. A Keylogger runs in the background—it's completely invisible—and it captures every single keystroke sent through the physical keyboard.

@Terminate: As far as I can tell—and I’ve been pretty careful lately—I haven't picked up any Trojans or installed a Keylogger 🤷

What kind of antivirus are you running? And more importantly, does it actually handle its own updates automatically? I realized I didn't mention this earlier, but it's a massive oversight: have you ever logged into your accounts from someone else's computer? It happens more often than you'd think. People end up installing a Keylogger on their own machines without even realizing it, and before they know it, their passwords are gone.

The user's moderator privileges have been temporarily suspended while we sort this out. It’s blindingly obvious that someone else has gained access to the account.

Let’s clear something up: nobody is "hacking" you in the way most people imagine from movies. In reality, your password isn't just sitting there waiting to be plucked from a forum or a database because it's hashed—it's encrypted in one direction. The only actual way someone gets in is if they've already compromised your machine with a Trojan, a >, or some other nasty password stealer that pipes your credentials straight to their inbox. There is also the theoretical possibility of packet sniffing on the network to grab passwords in plaintext—especially since this forum doesn't utilize SSL—but honestly, that's a negligible risk for the average user. So, we're left with one main culprit: your computer getting infected by malware. The only real defense here is staying sharp and running decent antivirus software.

Alright, we’ve got this thread about Diane over on the ZZ forums. I'm locking this down.

Make sure you get your thyroid levels checked—specifically T3, T4, and TSH!

Left testis under observation (pain)

Basically, we're looking at a varicocele, and I'm trying to find a doctor—or just someone who actually knows how to read these medical abbreviations.
I am so sick of specialists who just sit there in silence, nodding their heads, scribbling two or three lines in some jargon nobody understands, and calling it a day...

In short, it's an enlarged vein. You'll need regular check-ups, and if things progress, you might have to go under the knife...

We have another topic for that. Let those old relics rest in peace. 🙂

Sumamed is definitely going to mess with the sperm culture results, and honestly, it’ll likely skew the semen analysis too. You really ought to reach out to Peterson and get their take on this...

You won't find many professionals in this field willing to vouch for that thing—and honestly, I hope you don't find anyone. When you're dealing with spinal issues like yours, the whole goal should be strengthening your core and your lower back muscles. A Cosmodisk does the exact opposite. Instead of forcing your own muscles to do the work, it basically acts as an external brace for your spine, which just lets your actual muscles atrophy and get even weaker. Once you take it off, your spine is left unsupported and takes even more strain, which can lead to further misalignment. Look, don't just fall for the marketing hype. Go talk to a physical therapist or an orthopedist and follow a real exercise regimen prescribed by someone who actually knows what they're doing.
