When you pull it down, it only knows the SAN, not the user name. So likely a disconnect with the user profile (Edit: the 'crc' user profile).
Also worth noting, when you read something there's no indication something's not been read. I may have missed this when previewing some time ago.
Edit: For clarification: The title of things that have been read should go from bold to normal font or something to indicate the thread has been completely read. Thought it might be a cookie thing, so I exited and killed all my locally stored hughesnet cookies, but it hasn't changed. The listings under the "HughesNet Support Community" do that, but once you're in the thread listing (such as Your Thoughts...) there's no indication differentiating threads that have been completely read and those with new postings.
Also just noticed something else. Nothing major, just not what you'd expect: Is that when editing a post, there's a scroll box that you edit in, contained within what appears to be an expanding message box (with a triangular sizing icon in the lower right hand side). Seems the sizing icon doesn't synch with the actual scroll box. The scroll box starts much smaller (about a third) that the initial image depicting the edit space. It changes if you try to grab the triangular sizing icon, but the actual sizing icon doesn't move with it. More specifically: The icon changes to a vertical resizing icon and the scroll bar changes as if the scroll box is resizing, but that's the only indication that something's happening. The triangular box and the enclosing outline of the message editor doesn't seem to change or move. Again... just not the behavior you'd expect.
I should also add this is using Firefox v97.0 64-bit, which has some peculiarities of it's own. I've noticed that under certain circumstances, not all javascript gets properly downloaded until I do a full refresh, so there might be a few extra routines I should be getting that it's not seeing.
You're right; since it doesn't recognise the username, it makes sense there's no pic.
"Also worth noting, when you read something there's no indication something's not been read."
Not quite sure I understand what you mean here. 🙂
EDIT: Read your clarification; got it now. Cheers! 👍

Just tried in Safari v15.3, and it's basically the same as with Firefox, except it wouldn't let me edit my previous post using the 'drop-down dots'.
Edit: Just tried in Chrome 98.0.4758.102, and same as Firefox, but it did let me edit (obviously).

Testing the edit function with Firefox.
EDIT: The edit function works for me on FF. However, I get this message: "Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied." Not sure where the invalid HTML comes from; I just click Edit and type into the box.

Just noticed one more nit... The thread seems to have two parts: The usually listed posts, then a second 'sorted' part that contains the same thing, but perhaps sorted differently. This might get confusing to some people. Might be best (if possible) to just have the sorted posts and let the user decide how to sort them and remove the (unsorted?) section of posts from the display.
For example, this reply was to the last 'unsorted' post and appears between the 'unsorted' and 'sorted' sections. Makes it hard to re-find where you were if you have to scroll up to something while typing.
