Interesting Tidbit

[EA37TS]

FWIW and ICYMBI, I noticed something interesting on the forums this morning.

Recently we bought a new coach so my signature block and info went from 2015 Challenger 37ND to Entegra Accolade 37TS. I also asked the forum admin to change my user name from dstankov to EA37TS so that it would align with the user name on IRV2 and the Jayco forums which are all under the RV Life umbrella.

What I noticed is that the info also change for all previous posts. Posts I made in 2016 are now showing with the new info.

Again, just an interesting tidbit.

You are correct: the changes will be made to all prior posts.
(I change avatars often, and also noticed this...)

Strangely enough signatures also do that!

You might have already figured out that information is part of your 'current' profile and has nothing to do with the date of your posts.Your posts are tied to an UID and that information is extrapolated from the DB when your UID is referenced. It will likely always be what's in your current profile. Carrying the old stuff is just too expensive (in DB terms)

That's why my signature reads as it does:

The USER Formally Known As TFryman

Bob, you're not lost. You're just not done looking; or whatever
