Very strange. Given that the only place it seems to appear is on his profile, then it should effectively disappear when his account is deleted. [I just got a white page when I tried to view the image - no error.]

I don't see you as having any galleries on your profile page.

Use the "Report" function next to the post and a moderator will take care of it.

Some email hosts reject emails from Breeding Zone because they contain adult content. Others reject the email because they don't like the name that's been assigned to the IP address (despite the fact that there's nothing technically wrong with it). There are hard bounces and soft bounces. I think (but not 100% sure) that you'd see that message only when there's a hard bounce. It's not an issue on our end - you'd need to talk to your email host about why our emails are getting blocked. If that doesn't work, you'll need to change to a more adult-friendly email host.

If you use the "report" function next to the photo, a moderator will delete the photo.

I don't mean to start an argument or anything, but the fact that COVID is deer populations and their strains of COVID match the strains of COVID in the humans near them suggests that even if humans did everything perfectly, we'll never quite get rid of COVID because the deer can infect us the same way we infected them.

Apologies, but just before Christmas I was trying to update the plugin for account deletions and managed to delete all the pending account deletions. The plugin wouldn't update, so I did a delete and reinstall not realizing it would delete the data. SO, if you requested account deletion before Christmas you'll need to request it again. When you re-request deletion, if you mention roughly when you requested it previously, I'll do the account deletion before I would otherwise.

Thanks for all your responses!!

[Note: this isn't specifically about sexual health, more about health in general. So not a perfect fit for this part of the site, but a closer fit than other parts of the site.] I'm a moderator at a mostly straight discussion forum for the porn industry. Whenever the topic of COVID comes up there are huge battles. I just posted the the following message on that site to see if there's actually more agreement than it seems on some of the fundamental issues surrounding COVID. I'm curious how the gay community differs from that group. So I'd appreciate if you look it over and respond… [The bits about not having discussion are meant for them - not for you guys… Just keep the conversation civil!] When I was a kid I went to a fundamentalist Baptist school from 5th to 10th grade. The kids at the school weren't all Baptist though. I was "evangelical", others were Presbyterian, Lutheran, Charismatic, Pentecostal, Mennonite, Methodist, etc. - even a few Catholics were in the mix. One of the most vivid memories from that time were the intense arguments in Bible class over the minutia that defined the various groups. It taught me that there were multiple perspectives and interpretations to things and to think for myself after listening to everyone. But in hindsight the battles in Bible class obscured the fact that we agreed on more than we disagreed about. We were nearly all Protestant Christians - what we were arguing about was actually really minor. Having had that experience I wonder now if, in all the fights over COViD, most of us don't actually agree on more than we disagree about. Below is a list of what I think are pretty "mainstream" statements related to the pandemic. (Mainstream = what is said by most public health authorities). Look at each statement and count the ones where you agree more than disagree. This is the type of pandemic where your actions can affect others. Vaccination is one of the best ways to protect yourself from serious illness and (depending on the variant) reduce your chances of infection. Vaccines aren't necessarily one-size-fits-all - consult your doctor to find out the best/safest vaccine/booster strategy for you if you have concerns. The pandemic drives home the importance of health and fitness. Masking, done right, can slow the spread in certain situations, but it isn't particularly useful in some environments (e.g. outdoors, at home with the people you live with), and some masks are more effective than others (N95 and KN95 masks are more effective than cloth masks). Social distancing (e.g. avoiding crowds, spending time with fewer people, etc.) slows the spread. All of the above can be helpful and together they can "flatten the curve" but they may never completely get rid of COVID as a threat. "Flattening the curve" is critical primarily when ICU capacity is strained in an area, at other times it is not unreasonable for the community to choose to take certain calculated risks to boost the economy, mental health, etc. Masking and social distancing when you're around strangers in enclosed public spaces is polite since you don't know if they are high risk. There are times when it may be completely reasonable for people to choose to engage in higher risk activities then you personally would engage in and you shouldn't judge them for taking those risks (e.g. when they are not interacting with high risk people and the hospital system in their area has sufficient capacity). These are not points of discussion. If people start using this thread for discussion I will request that the thread be closed. The point of this thread is to find points of agreement - not to start yet another argument about COVID. So simply reply with the number of items you are in general agreement with (you agree more than you disagree). If you have no opinion on some items, you can list the number where that's the case as well. Optionally you can also list the item numbers that you agree or disagree with (whichever list is shorter), and/or the item numbers where you have no opinion. Just list the numbers, not the concepts, since just seeing numbers is less likely to elicit discussion. And if you feel so inclined, I'm wondering about regional differences. So feel free to add your location and possibly your regional identity if it differs from your location. (e.g. "New Yorker living in Montreal"). My response would be: Agree with 10 of 10 New York City

You'd have to be more specific about what's happening. There are a few likely culprits… If you get some message like "unknown host" then it's probably a DNS problem. Chances are Vodafone has the site blocked on the DNS level. Changing your DNS on a mobile phone isn't as easy as it is on a computer. But basically you have to change to a different DNS provider. If you get a message something like "unable to make a secure connection" then Vodafone is trying to snoop on your web browsing and has put a proxy server in place to monitor everything you do. This site is set up to prevent that from happening. I'd rather you not be able to access the site than for your activity on the site to be monitored. If absolutely nothing happens then it could be that Vodafone has the IP address blocked. The solution for the last two options is to use a VPN. But realize many VPNs monitor you just like other ISPs. This is especially true of the free VPNs.

Take out the word "easily" and you're 100% correct.

Mobile/tablet view is determined by how wide the browser is. Widen your browser. You'll need at least ±950 pixels of width to see desktop view. If you go full screen and that's still not enough, then you'll need to up the resolution of your monitor. In settings your monitor may have been told to mimic a lower resolution monitor (in order to up the size of things). You'll need to turn that off. If that's not the problem, then you need a better, higher resolution monitor.

Bottom line - no, that's not something we do. And even if we made your profile not show up in Google, it would still show up for all the pages where you do posts. What you can do is change your screen name in Preferences to something new that no one knows you by.

It's worth noting that it's not just BZ - incest has become a major theme in gay porn the past few years.

Grrrr… I'm having to roll back yet again. The idiot software is storing files in those folders that are necessary for things like emails. There's no easy way for me to figure out what's orphaned, so there's no way to delete the orphaned files. Oh well.

This was necessary for a few reasons… First, a Korean guy with exposure fetish uploaded a half dozen or so high res pics of himself naked showing his ID. Apparently, recently he must have changed his mind. The status updates on his profile were deleted, but the images they showed weren't (a bug in the software running the site). So while they weren't used anywhere, if you knew the URL, they were still there. Since the pics had personally identifiable information I felt it was important to get them down even though there's no privacy law in Korea that would require it (AFAIK). Second, I could use more space on the drive for another project and deleting orphaned files is one of the things I've been meaning to do to get more space. I'll probably have to do a full server upgrade at the end of the year (since the OS it's running is reaching end-of-life) and I'd like to hold off on a hard drive (RAID) upgrade until that point.

The deletion of orphaned files has started up again. Let me know if you see any problems. It will take a few hours to complete. 🤞

Yes, my screw up affected profile avatar pics and profile header pics. If you uploaded yours between January 2018 and October 2019 it will be missing, but will come back as soon as my restore is complete. Tomorrow I'll try my delete again. I'm pretty sure I won't be deleting things that are needed, but if I do, I've got the backup…

I'm already seeing problems (my profile avatar seems to have been deleted, so I'll restore what I've deleted and try again.

FYI - I'm about to run a script that will delete a bunch of (mostly) image files off the server. I believe they're all "orphaned" and aren't being used, but I may be wrong. I've made a copy of the files and can restore them if you find instances of missing files. There seem to be a few ways the files were orphaned… At one point in 2014 there must have been a site upgrade or migration where the files were renamed and the old ones weren't deleted. Then there was a period where there were three image sizes. Now there's only two so that means there's a redundant 3rd file. And now it seems images that are used in certain ways aren't being deleted when the thing using them is deleted. Anyway, please post below if you start seeing problems. I'm hoping you won't see any.

What @BareLover666 said is almost verbatim what the CDC says… https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/prep/on-demand-prep.html On-demand PrEP is highly effective when your risk is receptive anal sex. As BareLover666 and CDC say - "talk to your doctor to see if it's right for you".

Copy the URL from the link, before you click on it (right click to get the option to copy).

Actually, "on-demand" PrEP works well for bottoms. You're basically protected after 2 hours. (If you then take it again every 24 hours until ~48 hours after your last sexual encounter.) This is because the primary risk for bottoms is in your GI tract, and that's where the medicine is immediately after you take it. But a longer period is needed if you are a top or have a vagina and have vaginal sex. But tops are substantially less likely to get HIV (about 6.5x less risk).

If I understand you correctly it's not happening to all images, just a few. So if you click on "Gallery" in the main nav, there's a "User Galleries" link at the top and then a bunch of recent images below. Some of those are in galleries created by users (if you go to the person's profile page those galleries will show up on their galleries tab), but then there are images that just say "in User Galleries" - those images aren't actually in a user gallery (otherwise it would state the name of the gallery). If I understand you correctly those are the images you're having problems with. Correct? Honestly, I've never liked the fact that the software allows images to not be in galleries. And I have no clue how to fix it. They work for me - both on my admin account and a "regular" account I have. Either way, please right click and get the URL of a problem image, and then post it here, so I can see what's happening.

It's long gone. It was an old add-on that had questionable value, so I nixed it.
