There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I'm not surprised about this news ...... I stopped using " deodorants " about a decade ago, :gaah: !!!!! ..... I'm not an odor-ologist, :roflblack: however I concluded that deodorant was just like spray painting your underarms ....ie. a toxic substance that sealed your pores ..... So I began using 70% isopropyl alcohol (the rubbing kind ) - - My thoughts were the Alc would actually Kill most bacteria , rather than seal it under your skin ..... so far my theory about this has worked. .... When I apply it in the AM it certainly invigorates and wakes me up :clap: and even if I perspire later it doesn't smell ..... just say-in .... Mike :thumbup:.. It also is a money saver ... I just checked Walmart pricing on a Qt. of 70% Alc @ $2.18 .... the least expensive deodorant is Mennon Speed stick 3 oz. @ $ 1.63 .... yes the Alc is more expensive, however it will last 4-5 mo. to use it all ... that one stick might last a month ....you do the math

If inside-out is not working for you then you're not "applying" enough! :cheers:
BTW: Thanks for the alcohol information. Makes sense. Sweat doesn't stink. Bacteria does..... Jim
I think humans always have to be challenged, no matter how small or how large. It's just mother nature at work, including all the bitching and complaining that comes along with a challenge. I'm just say'n, that's how I see it. For some or even the most for that matter, it is very difficult to be totally satisfied.

Wow! I'm gonna' get into trouble for sure here. A Spyder forum and you're talking about armpits, really!!
First, look up the difference between a deoderant and an antipersperant, one coats, the other neutralizes.
Second, sweat DOES stink! And it's not bacteria, unless you don't bathe regularly; ANY decent bar soap is enough to kill what little bacteria resides in your armpits (btw, there's more in your mouth). Don't use rubbing alcohol, it's drying, and an irritant. Your armpit odor is from hormones (or poor nutrition), primarily testosterone; that's why men have less body odor as they age (if you eat roasted garlic, you'll understand the nutrition thing). ASK A DOCTOR!
Third, alcohol is best applied from the inside!
I told my wife about this thread, she rolled her eyes, and I walked away with my head down. Just sayin' guys!

" Don't use rubbing alcohol, it's drying, and an irritant " ..... Is this from experience or what was read off the Net ???? .... IF you are correct ( drying & irritant ) , then it doesn't do it well ... I've been using it daily for over 10 years and my Pit's , haven't experienced this yet..... just say'n ...... to each His own ..... Mike :thumbup:

Both of you are right. It's the same as what's first, the chicken or the egg. Just a little excerpt from an article:
"Sweat itself does not smell but body odor may occur when bacteria on the skin break down acids contained in the sweat produced by apocrine glands, which are located in the armpits, breasts, and genital-anal area. The bacteria’s waste products are what produce the smell."
By the way this is the Off Topic forum where most anything goes.

That works also. The problem is the buzz when you don't want it.

Deodorants ? ?
Very interesting to say the least. I think I will sit this one out.
Read and Enjoy. .......:banghead:

One is choice. Also if you are referring to our Spyders, I disagree on how you view them.

Speaking of deodorant, I banged my big toe against the bed the other day and could not get it to stop bleeding. I went online looking for something to put on it and the first thing that came up was deodorant. I rolled some on my finger applied it to the cut and within a couple minutes the bleeding stopped. I guess you’re never too old to learn.

My reference to 'machines' was pointed primarily at 2-wheels which almost everyone here has come from prior to the Spyder. But even the Spyder is considerably more dangerous than rubbing chemicals on your pits.
