I'm curious as to why all of the SL-R230 Forum threads now start with a bright red SL/R230 on every title. Is there a reason or explanation?

We've frequently seen posts being moved to other forums by administrators. Perhaps they were getting fed up.

My guess is software glitch or setting accidently clicked

Maybe ask management as they are not very active

Curious as well, still no explanation? It seems like it is only on SL sub-forums. All of them including the new R232? All I know is that they are doing something behind the scene at least forum mod/admin Wolfman himself stated they are doing something that is why they can't add new models.
