I guess you never know when it comes to who runs these type of boards and what consideration they take. To the best of my knowledge I have spent the last 7 or 8 years on various coin sites and 90% of my posts are coin related. I would rate my salacious, irreverent quotient somewheres around oatmeal. Still. About 2 months ago NGC banned me from their boards and I used my smartphone they removed all my posts. such as my last post reviewing a new coin book by Bowers.

No one should post any parking lot finds or 1964 SMS half dollars until this is fixed. And maybe that boycott should continue even if they fix the site, just to let them know we're serious. 😠
Ah crap! Just when I found a bunch of 1964 SMS's and rolls of 1922 Proof dollars in the parking lot.

It appears to be back to its old visual version, or at least close. However, it is good to know that my avatar looks dapper both in the original cropping format and cropped as an oval!

And one can even distinguish the tiny green face among the tiny avatars they show for "Like" votes.

I just wish companies would ask their clients if it's ok for them to change things. Then, they would have thousands of options to choose from.
However, I don't care for the elongated avatar; I can't see my dogs head and eyes.
Looks like it's back to normal...

Well I’m sure this thread is monitored by the BigWigs and if this is a Vote…. I say stay with the existing format. We are for the most part older men who are happiest when things Do Not Change.
I'm guessing there isn't a test "production" environment.
I've worked for companies where things got tested before being rolled out, in a "real" environment, and I've worked in companies that wouldn't pay for the hardware to set up that type of environment and so all changes were "tested" internally and then pushed out to see what may....and it usually ended up with problems.

I kinda liked the new format. 🤪😂
Thank you.
I guess it was an April 1st shannanigan!?
One thing for sure, is that I'm glad that the Distorted, twisted Sanddollar image is gone.
Maybe it was a revision that went live too early.
Glad it's back to normal now.

For awhile I thought the new format was catering to our aged members, including myself, vision deficiencies due to our age.
And one can even distinguish the tiny green face among the tiny avatars they show for "Like" votes.
Now come on, who here don't like "change"?
Never thought a riot would break out on these boards!!!

Looks like it's back to normal...
Hey, what happened to the new format? I was just getting used to it. 😆🤮
I love change.......when it makes sense.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
The only constant....
Overall, it's 'OK' but I like seeing who has started a thread and NOW it's not visible.

Actually it is now visible since things are back to 'normal.' Take another look. @1630Boston started this one.

This is great
Now I need to find something else to kvetch about

Thankfully things have returned to normal...and a big tip of the hat to those who took a screenshot to show how horrible things were for a day.!!!
Does "Sanddollar" only post on April 1st??

Not anymore, but that was management by crisis; if one didn't exist somebody created one.
Lol, it was April Fool's.
Good one.

I sent my screenshot in for grading. I put a privy mark on it too…so it is sure to be worth a lot. I hope the True Views come out nice…😂
I thought we got hacked by one of our esteemed and now banned members.
Who? I must have missed all the excitement.
Coinstartled! Although I think he’s actually back with an alt 😆
