Same password for fourteen years? I'd say you've been hacked. And if you have Hotmail (now outlook) you definitely have been hacked. Anyone who had Hotmail a decade ago (me included) got hacked and I eventually started to get threatening messages trying to extort me by way of bitcoin.

I don't think they care about this site so much, but I would recommend changing your critical passwords (bank account, e-mail servers, etc.) at least every year or two.

I've had a hotmail account since 2002, but I haven't checked it in over a decade. It's still linked to a few accounts with no issues.

Never had hotmail. The password for this site is only used on one other, and for all others I use a different one. I doubt it's been hacked to be honest, you know what Microscum are like. I mean, really, who the **** cares if they hack into my account here? What are they going to do? Start posting YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED THIS IS THE CRIMINAL FRATERNITY RANSOM YOUR COMPUTER BACK NOW FOR 200,000 oh wait it's Trollheart... you have no money, we know that from hacking your bank account. okay then, how about three fiddy?

How do I link a youtube video in my comment, so that it actually pops up and is not just a hyper link?

Using this an an example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSOarHdpJyk

Remove everything before the video ID:
SSOarHdpJyk

Then add the YouTube tags:
[YOUTUBE]SSOarHdpJyk[/YOUTUBE]

Post it.

Edit: Even though you figured it out, I just wanted to show off my awesome use of noparse.

Do any of you guys have a Samsung phone, and if so have you updated to the new software? I have, and yet it keeps asking me to update. Three times now. I did it twice, I'm not ****ing doing it a third time. It takes ages and I can't use my phone while it's updating, plus it gets so damn hot I can't even keep it in my pocket while the update is going. Anyone any problems like this? Pop up keeps appearing telling me "update is ready" and there's no "I already have the ****ing update you **** leave me alone" button...

Should mean it's not fully updating if it still shows. Sometimes updates on old phones won't work with a new update, which companies want; so you have to buy a new phone. My guess is that your phone is not compatible with the update and it's just not fully updating for that reason; the reason why it's still showing. Hope you the best on your phone adventures.

Thanks man. I don't know though: it's an S10 - not exactly stone age. Maybe you're right, but if so I'll just put up with it. I get my phone upgraded through my provider so until I'm eligible again I'll have to stick with what I have. More an annoyance than something really serious so I'll live with it. Thanks for the response.
