Well...it's not just AVG who's being cautious...although I didn't access/read your link Raven. I had a "blocked" notice here at the table from Malwarebytes today. I should note that I have the Pro [paid] version of Malwarebytes. And...it's not the first time I've had such an experience here lately. sigh Anne

I just gave up...... After having a Gardenweb account since forever, since back when it was an offshoot of the "Parent Soup" channel thing at AOL.back in the mid-late 1990's and was still doing the same thing at the various changes and new corporate whatevers and never had an issue before or after changing my email address to Gmail in April 2004. I finally just entered a new account name at the same exact email address I have maintained since April 2004 and seemingly have either no "old" account or the new account has no conflict with the old. The old just not being able to "sign in". I have been doing this sort of thing since 1990 before even AOL back when "online" was a BBS running off of a hot rod 2400 Baud modem plug in card on an Apple IIE. I have never been one tobe concerned with site appearances, but the Huuzz scheme fonts colors layout everything, is absolutely horrendous. Just my $.02 worth..... YMMV

Lindsay, I had trouble logging in at the beginning of the changeover as well. I contacted them via "contact us" and they immediately wrote to me. We tried a few things, and then they gave me a new username, webuser and a number just like what you have. My posts would show up as that until I changed my First Name. I tried to change my username to Jasdip and it wouldn't take it, so I just put a 1 at the end of it. At least I can remember that if I need to, and I seldom have to use my username. I keep logged in all the time.

I play it safe by wearing a mask, but I am not really that worried. I know the Covid positive tests counts are up, but the reports are not transparent. I know for a fact, in two people I know, one individual was counted twice and the other individual has been counted as three positive counts. So, those are two individuals, counted FIVE times! If I know of two individuals personally counted five times, it is happening all over. Also, one of the individuals I'm talking about, who was asymptomatic, had her boyfriend test also, he tested negative. If asymptomatic people were so contagious, there is no way he couldn't have gotten it. What I am hearing, is asymptomatic isn't as contagious, or even contagious at all. Still a lot of unknowns, but I truly believe it has been blown out of proportion. I do STILL believe, the older compromised and ALL (any age) people with comorbidities, should be very careful. So, they should be counting positive INDIVIDUALS, instead of each positive test, to get a true count. But, they are not. eta: I have had my family taking a multivitamin, vitamin D and melatonin for about 4 months now, to keep our immune systems up. My son doesn't take melatonin, since younger adults still have plenty in their immune system.
