Why do so many people these days need braces?

To straighten their teeth and fix over/under bites?

Yeah..exactly.

Why else would someone get braces? 

Zach-- any particular reason why you have not chewed gum for 2 years?

Braces.

Ahh, been there, done that (twice)  And I know someone mentioed sugarless gum.  As Aaron stated, it still sticks to your braces, but not as bad as the other gum.  I went a total of about 3 years with braces, and never chewed gum, which could be why I chew it all of the time now.  Who know.

I am one of those lucky people here that don't need braces.

ooooo I likey the new Easter logo...

What is a "critical theme" error?

From what I could tell, a critical theme error is when something goes wrong in the code involving the forum theme you're using.  You're unable to do anything on your account if it happens.  I had to change Jonathan's forum theme back to the normal settings to fix his problem.

Happens when you change your account to a theme I forgot to remove that doesn't work and you can't get back into your settings to remove. Doh!

I've needed braces for years, but I've never got them, and don't plan to either. I don't want to go through all that pain and hassle, not eating certain foods, as well as spending so much money on them. I have more important things (college, etc) to spend it on. You know what they say, don't fix what ain't broke.

But, I'm pretty sure you CAN chew gum with braces on, as people I know who wear them tell me they can.

You CAN do anything you want with braces on.  It is highly recommended you do not.

Crap. I have the new YT layout and everyone else I talk to too has it now.

Yep, I do too. Horribly inconvenient and not user-friendly, like weather.com.

I used to have it but I got switched back to the old one for some reason. To be honest I really don't like it. I'm more into rating vids than just "liking" them.

Yuck!  I HATE the new YouTube layout. It seems like with every update they keep making, they are working on DOWNGRADING the site.

I don't want to go through all that pain and hassle, not eating certain foods

A) They're not that painful. People blow that WAY out of proportion. Just a few sensitive teeth here and there.
What do you mean that hassle? They just glue brackets on your teeth, put the wire in, and snap the brackets closed.
C) Not eating certain foods? My dental assistant lady said you can eat just about anything with braces if you just be careful (and if it's something like chips or pretzels, break it up into smaller pieces.)

As Aaron stated, it still sticks to your braces, but not as bad as the other gum.

Nope. And when it does stick to your teeth, you've gotten something ON your braces. If you chew sugarfree gum (although I was told these brackets are somewhat different than brackets before), you WILL be okay. And why would the gum get near your braces anyway? It's not like you'd roll the gum all over your brackets!

I actually like the layout.

My YT account has been flipped back and forth between the old and new layouts for the past month.  I'm afraid the new layout will be what all of us see in the future, and we'll just have to live with it.

[Localonthe8s]

It's terrible, as usual.
