Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Twitter account hacked
I'm not high tech and I don't really get into all the Twitter type stuff but there were a few tweeters I liked to look in on every once in a while. Went to check and my account had been hacked and someone was tweeting weight-loss spam from my account.
I've shut my account down, but wonder how prevalent that kind of hacking is.

I shut mine down a long time ago because someone was advertising porn through my account.
I think it is very prevalent there.

My facebook password was cracked a couple years ago, and they signed me up for the live poker game app. (Who even knew that was on there?) I'm glad I never registered any credit cards, and took the steps to boot them out. Now I roll with much harder random passwords. Just got an email the other day, "sorry you're having trouble logging into your FB account". Nice try, guys.

Each of those main social networking sights have HTTPS available, you just have to search them out. You can also use secure browsers/apps for browsers to help up the security for your accounts. Make sure you're seeing HTTPS up top before you go on them. It's not a surefire way to prevent being hacked, but it's another step to help avoid it.
If you cant find where to enable secure browsing, simply type "s" at the end of "http". You might have to keep typing it in for every thing you click, but most should keep it there.
Annnd for those who don't know what I'm talking about, I'll use facebook as an example:
Https://www.facebook.com

I had someone open a facebook using my email, they must have used is as a secondary or something, I kept getting notifications in Indonesian from facebook. I recovered the password, changed it and cancelled the acct. Then got a slew of 'are you trying to recover your password?' emails.
