What the heck is going on???

This is within the last two days.
First I made a posting to a thread about the 2021 shows and my Avatar changed from my D4 to my 112 and I did nothing to change that.
Then later I posted a reply to the topic about the Cat 40 Scraper load cylinder with a photo of the new plate made for mounting the cylinder and now the entire post and photos has gone missing. Supposedly I am paid up until Dec 2021. Has censorship and or the "Woke" movement infiltrated our board? :) :) :)
Curious folks want to know.
What will show up as the Avatar on this post?

Me too on the Avatar. My old D7E one is popping up now, not the D68U i had been using. Another thing some have pointed out is the private mail function?
I come to realize D4Jim sent me one back on the 25th. I did not receive a notification. Some cannot send a PM I am told.
Are the BB administrators "fixing or modifying" things?
I sure miss the old BB. JM

I have asked the developers to take a look at this and hopefully fix it.

Being non computer savvy, I never know if I pusher the wrong key and changed settings or what is going on, but I see no avatars today.

Also clicking on the head on the upper right does not bring up the private message icon like it did before. So if any sent me a PM and I have not responded sorry.

I haven't been able to use the private message for awhile. I've gotten some but when I click on the pm it goes to my profile and asks me to update it. I usually have to log out to clear it. Pretty frustrating 😕

Thanks for all your hard work behind the scenes John, I'm sure you don't take personally the flack that flies about this new site.

Great point Mike. My gripes have not been with the BOD but the lackluster performance and slow response by the BB software provider. Those of us on the bulletin board only see a small part of the issues the BOD has been going through with the provider on the accounting, membership, store, inventory etc.
Being this far down the road, in my humble opinion, we seem to be having waaaaay to many problems that pop up with the board. PM works sometimes, still cannot stay logged in on my phone, posts disappearing. Sometimes I go to the end of the thread and sometimes to the first post and why it changes is a mystery to me. My point being there have been so many problems with the software in major areas that little time can be devoted to the bulletin board. We have already paid the software folks 90% with only 10% hold back.
