Why do many of our messages not show our Machines

[snorebeard]

I noticed that my Machine description is not being listed in my messages, even though I have in in my profile here.
Since I now see that the Machine is not listed for many of us here in our messages, including for people like Pugsy who know what they are doing, there may be some problem with CPAPTalk picking this information profile up.

The machines in the pull-down menu when you set up your profile are apparently linked to cpap.com's inventory. Pugsy's machine is not one that cpap.com sells. And some of the links are just broken -- if I recall, the PR 60 Series APAP machine is one of the links that doesn't work.

If your machine is not showing just put it in your Signature like I have mine below the line.

That's what I did with mine, too. Most of my equipment isn't sold anymore so the links are questionable. I can also put more information in the Signature section and it takes up less space.
I kind of wish everybody would use that section for their equipment and other information.

Thanks. Not a big deal for me, as my humidifier description reveals my machine, but can put in as signature. I guess the board is really trying to influence the sale of products by this factual information censorship. Are negative reviews of products censored?

That same humidifier goes with CPAP, APAP, and Bipap Respironics machines so it would be helpful if you did put which one in the Signature.

The sponsors of this board have chosen a rather subtle way of pointing us to their products.
I'm totally copacetic with it.

factual information censorship

Say what?

Censorship would be cpap.com actively searching through people's posts and deleting any mention of a machine or mask they don't sell. The pulldown menus for machines and masks are a very understated way to advertise (after all they host this forum at no charge to us), and a convenience for those who choose to use it.

You guess "WRONG", dude.
And, there are plenty of product reviews on the https://www.cpap.com website.
They just sell them, they don't make them.

If you need anything, it is an easy way to check the prices--
before you truck your heinie down to the local clip joint and get fleeced!

Another way to get more info and pics in the signature line (no links tho):
