    Very strange, I went back to look again and the updated post wasn’t there. It was a picture of the Ukrainian flag and said “No War”. Wish I took a screen shot!

    If it was linked to a photo that link may have changed 🤔

    I can't see the flag image (I get a dead image link icon) but the link I can extract from the icon does go back to a service called "imageshack.com" - so we'll probably need to wait for @TikiHut2 to respond to know for sure if he still uses that service or otherwise.

    Sad. But now it makes sense why we are seeing different images on his old links. To save drive space photo services will sometimes reuse assigned photo numbers after deleting old accounts. A few months ago I had someone asking me for pricing and releases for a photo - but I didn't take it. Got more info from the requestor and Getty images was reassigning some new images with old numbers - and one of mine got crossed up in the mix.

    I hope I am wrong and if I am I am sorry for saying he passed. But I am almost positive that someone said he passed. He was on the forum more than you and me combined so why would he just stop like that? Like I said, hopefully I am wrong...

    That is great news...he was my "mentor" on my purchase and seemed just like a super fellow and his love of boating and knowledge was great to pull from. He should join back up, we can use his experience. I guess some just move onto something else with out a thought but I thought him a pretty avid boater. Great to hear for sure...
