John;
Please clarify what you mean by lack of recognition?
You're in the members list. I can search on your user name, find your posts through the search engine, your position is in place, thread count shows(Egyptian Cotton I think), avatar and sig are in place and I can read your bio.
Let me know what I'm missing and we'll look in to fixing the boo boo

Looks like the problems I had have been solved. I managed to get my avatar back up also. I wasn't able to do that for God knows why, until today. So whatever the computer gurus did to fix it, I appreciate it very much, Thank you.
I must add, my status is back as a thread starter rather then geust, and when I want to look at recent post, I'm not getting endless pages anymore.
