I'll try to dig up the thread where multiple members mentioned their posts had been deleted. It was about a white roadster...

It was a different matter, there.
I think milos62 made 2 different quizzes, called ms#2 and ms#02 with the same car...the missing posts were in the older one. I merged them.

Ah-hah, a new design...
It will take some time to get used to it, as some buttons and links has also changed their places.
To be honest, I'm not a fan of these small thumbnails instead of previous full-size pictures, as you need to click every of them to see them in full scale, although I can see a couple of advantages like the ability to post bigger pictures and faster page loading (although I've never had problems with the latter here). But don't mark me as a thumbnail hater, maybe I'll love this new feature one day.

I think the thumbnails are gone now.  ;)

At first change is always difficult to accept but we all tend to get used to it in time. 

However, sorry guys, but so far the new design layout get zero points from me, and I especially dislike the watermarked images.  I can understand why this has been done, but I think it is a major step backwards and a better solutuon could have been found. :-[
