What was your new avatar?
Male full frontal nudity. Although not particularly shocking. I suppose the attacker was more interested in the implications of him being banned than actual shock.

 And again I must stress this: Get your computer scanned with every program out there.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

One fun way to get a password is to take a phone and type out password as if it was a text message. Long AND easy to remember.

With my idea, you could, uh, write it down?

Text it to yourself and (if possible), "lock" the message so it can't be deleted. Something like that. Just not on your computer

If your account got hacked again, it sounds like you have a keylogger. Def need to scan your computer, download spybot and run a complete scan.

Get something like Nod32 and Spyware Terminator. Just be thankful it isn't one of those hackers who steal your personal details, or anything important.

Are you sure it's a keylogger?  This seems like small time stuff to be using viruses.  Maybe it's just someone you know messing with you?

Lol, have you checked the back of your computer for anything funny looking?

Or do you do the 'log me on permanently' thing?

IPs are logged with posts. Ask Toady about it- if the hack post was on your computer, that narrows down the suspects dramatically. If not, then Toady can ban it and be done, maybe report it to whoever shuts down identity theft (heh, if there is such an entity).
