I simply can not grasp why some posts have Avatars so we know who is posting and we are responding to, and some do not? Is this an attempt by the mods to keep us more "civil ' to each other or just some random glitch. Today a poster actually posted her name at the bottom of her post and I so appreciated it! Knowing who I respond to keeps me from "over responding" to the same person. This is the sort of thing that is making me feel like my time here is shortly coming to an end, and that saddens me. Anyone else feeling like this? Not sure where to post this so I picked family caregivers...
My name doesn’t really fit any longer. So, I could go from NeedHelpWithMom to BeenThereDoneThat! LOL 😆
This really does remind me of the game show, To Tell the Truth. Three guest appear and the panel has to guess which one is the actual person that is actually the person who they are supposed to be.
I guessed many of them by their answers. Some I guessed incorrectly because the impostors were such good impersonators (or liars)!
I thought about changing my name after my caregiving stint ended but a poster said on the forum that she didn’t know who people were when people changed their screen names. So, I never bothered with changing my screen name and just say that I am no longer caregiving when it is necessary.
Does anyone else ever think about using a different name since their caregiver days have ended, if their name is no longer applicable?

Was the bot incident ever explained fully? I remember seeing all of bot posts, but I don’t remember what was said about it.
I miss seeing avatars and names but the name does appear in newsfeeds. Have no idea what would be the purpose of doing this on purpose.
Unless, it is felt that people can’t confront others about their posts.
There are certain posters who have outdated opinions and feel that we should be slaves to our elders. Of course, these posters will be confronted by caregivers and past caregivers.
We never see these particular posters, talking about their own caregiver issues! I suspect it is because their wives and sisters are doing all of the caregiving!
