Click "Details" in tool-tip menu or the user name/handle itself.
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.

@noromance Click on "user name/handle" (aka UserID) then "Details" is No Joy. The Virtual Systems no longer appear. Only "Discussions" and "Responses". This used to work for me, however, not any more. I've seen other long time posters ask how to see the Virtual System. I don't think it was because they forgot how. I'll assume that by your response, you are still able to see Virtual Systems with no issue. I think there are a few of us who can't any more. I stopped being able to view Virtual Systems around the time that Bot Checking started. Thanks for looking into this!

@elliottbnewcombjr Just to confirm, you used to be able to see Virtual Systems but no longer. Is that correct? Any idea when this 'feature' stopped working for you? Thank you for your time. | |
You access a member’s profile page after getting the drop-down menu when you click on their name-from there you can see their virtual setup. I’ve never noticed if their system was an option in the drop down. If it was an option, it has been deleted from the drop-down choices. Just an extra click of the mouse or finger tap-carry on.

@tablejockey Re: "You access a member’s profile page after getting the drop-down menu when you click on their name-from there you can see their virtual setup." Correct. When it's working. It's not working for everyone. Thanks 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. Mike | |
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, Spencer | |
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. | |

I doubt it. Doesn’t work for me on my Mac running MacOS 12.5.1, Windows 11 laptop or my Android phone. Tried different browsers etc. | |
Still not working for me - at least on my Android phone. Will try later on pc/Mac. | |
Same. @elliottbnewcombjr I'm looking forward to seeing that turntable with three tone arms. Is one of them for a mono cartridge? | |
curiousjim Yes, I love it. All thanks to help received here! I joined audiogon specifically to get advice about a long tonearm. Part of that is, put long arm on what? Next a discussion about using true MONO cartridges Next, find out about the JVC Victor CL-P2 Plinth with Two Removable Armboards. Happy with 2 arms, Stereo and MONO, until I realized I was needlessly putting wear on my non-replaceable MC stylus while selling LP’s, giving them all a farewell listen. So I squeezed a 3rd arm on, Mission/Jelco with compact counterweight section, so now MC/MM/Mono up and ready. Found a SUT with 3 selectable inputs. .................................... current discussion about two arms or two TTs

There is a fix to view Virtual Systems, be that your own or others, although I’m not sure if the same applies for everyone here. For those with the issue of not being able to view a Virtual System, try the following: Notice that when you try to access a system, the following URL is produced (I’m using my own profile here, where the last part of the URL is my user name): https://forum.audiogon.com/users/phusis The issue is the first part of the URL after "https://" where it says ’forum.’ What it should say to access a virtual system is ’systems,’ so the correct URL is: https://systems.audiogon.com/users/phusis Simply manually changing the first word of the URL from ’forum’ to ’systems,’ at least in my case, solves the matter, and you’re now able to view a Virtual System. | |
