Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went?

I used to be able to click on a UserID  > details > .....  to see the authors (virtual) system. Now all I see is discussion list and responses list. It seems like the Virtual System Link is gone although sometimes I could swear that I see the text "Virtual System" pop up for fraction of a second. 

Is this is happening to anyone else? It seems it started right about the time that "bot checking" began. 

I've tried from:
1) iPhone

2) iPad

3) MacBook Pro

4) Win 10 desktop

All systems are updated with latest patches from the respective vendors.

 Please chime in if you are also experiencing this. 

Thank you for your time.

When I clicked onto Tablejockey’s Profile page, no Virtual System pictures or links to them show up. On Twoleftears and Noromance’s Profile Pages the System pictures are right there on the Profile Page. It might be Tablejockey hasn’t posted any pictures of his system, possibly like some of the individuals systems you’ve tried to access. Try Twoleftears’ or Noromance’s Profile page and see if their pictures show up for you. Both their pictures are not labeled "Virtual System" pictures, only "Systems" however, far as I’m seeing. Don’t try my name as I’ve no pictures on display. All three of their names are right above to click. Let us know what comes up for you.

Yes, up until several months ago, I would just highlight a name, pick details from drop down menu, go to a page that showed their information and Virtual System(s) as a choice (if they had one or more), i.e. I have 3 separate Virtual Systems.

I now have a hard time finding my own Virtual Systems. The drop down menu sometimes is a short list, I click ’edit’ and then a long list appears where I can select Virtual Systems

From the beginning, I have had a random experience finding private messages, they do not always show up either.

There's a weird quirk. If you click on a user's name when it's below their original post in a new thread, it's disappeared. But if you click on the name of any thread responder, then the popup shows DETAILS; that takes you to a list of their posts but it DOES show their systems at the top. 

Hey @tammyholt you might want to look at that. Cheers,

Nope. Doesn't work for me - it used to.

Can't click on my name and see my system either, I have go into 'Edit Account' then to the drop down menu and 'My virtual systems'.

Somethings not right.
