yeah, I hear you.. I hate seeing some of those long term thread listed as being started by 'deleted' Maybe proboards needs a 'suspend' choice One thing I respect about proboards is how seriously they take user rights. They believe users should have the right to totally remove themselves if they want to. I'm at least grateful that they keep the user's old posts in place.

I've been feeling the same way as MRP for a while now. But I haven't finished my review thread yet. I'm sorry to hear that. Let me know if there's anything we can do.

In the early years of the forum when someone deleted an account the name stayed on posts. Yes. That was a proboards change. We have no control over it.

I have heard so much about the show “Ted Lasso”. I have been watching so many short tik tok videos about the show that I feel like I’ve watched the entire series. Good stuff.

First season was the most inspiring stuff I've ever seen on television. Worth watching it all the way through. Season two was a very different animal. Still good, but not the same level.

Only 2 seasons ?

The ending of the series was spoiled in the videos.

Something that does not inspire confidence: ever since I subscribed to McAfee's anti-virus services, my e-mail account has been flooded by phishing attempts falsely claiming to be from the company. Some are clumsy and amateurish, but others are pretty darn convincing.
It seems clear that as soon as McAfee gets your email address, that info is readily available to the world at large. Talk about an ill-shod cobbler!

Wow, didn't know people still used McAfee - esp. after the revelations about how disreputable the company's founder was. Anyway, I think the last computer I had with McAfee antivirus software on it was well over 10 years ago, and I recall similar problems - lots of suspicious e-mails getting past my spam filter, plus it seemed to offer virtually no protection from more benign (but still annoying) forms of malware/adware, like pop-ups and so forth, to the point that I questioned whether it was doing anything at all. Sometimes, the medicine is a bigger threat than the disease.

Talk about an ill-shod cobbler! I stopped using anti-virus software about five years back. I still utilize Malware protection (Malabytes freeware has been enough for me), but it seems like viruses are less a thing in the age of the smart phone. Perhaps this is a circumstance in which the medicine poses a greater threat than the disease.

Yeah, likewise...I have gone without virus protection on my PC for over 4 years now and have had no problem whatsoever. I also scan periodically for malware with Malwarebytes (which is free to download), but I rarely find anything nasty lurking on my machine. I think that these days, unless you are regularly frequenting some fairly dodgy websites, the fear of getting a virus is probably out of proportion with the actual risk you are at.

Talk about an ill-shod cobbler! McAfee has an interesting history, mainly revolving around it's founder, that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in it's product
As previously mentioned, Malwarebytes is good, I use Avast and have been for the most part happy with it

I was really confused when I turned on the Sox earlier, I was like, "That's a new alternate, I like that red." only to discover it was the Blue Jays wearing red shirts in honor of Canada Day. So, happy Canada Day to all our friends up north, sorry the Sox couldn't give you a win to celebrate your day.
