I just noticed the account is no longer around and thought this was an appropriate video for this occasion.

Unless I am having a senior moment, it seems transparency has been the very opposite of this action. I gather deleting an account also deletes all the account holder's posts, without leaving any place holders to show something was once there. The result here is that I now appear to be the instigator of this thread. I was not, and prefer not to be shown as such.
I have inserted an edit to my own post, but presumably the same sort of hiccup now occurs right across the forum.
This may be a design flaw in the software, but I think it needs flagging up.

There's a forum function to delete a user's posts. The OP requested that, citing GDPR. I don't know much about the applicability of GDPR to a forum like this, but whatever the case, I did as he asked.
I am calling this transparent, simply because I am indicating what was asked and what was done.
