I know Amy already postd about this but I am campaigning!
The display of surgery, day and surgeon is no longer displayed at the top of posts. I understand the surgeon's name may now be only for sponsors but the surgey date and type is non-commercial data and is necessary for people to reply to posts. OH say this is a design change.
Maybe if enough of us think it is a bad design change and contact them, or simply add to this thread, they will reconsider. Worth trying. The info is still available by hovering over the avatar but it is much less convenient.

Indeed. But surgery type and date is surely not commercially significant?

Perhaps they think negative motivation is better than positive motivation to get surgeons to pay for advertising OH.

Do they honestly expect surgeons from overseas to pay to advertise here?

I reported this problem when I noticed it had happened on my posts on Monday. Here is the email I received last night:
Dear XXXX, I just heard from our IT developer and this was a design change. If you're surgeon appears on the additional surgeons page it will not show up on your posts or profile. Only the surgeons that are on the main page will appear in posts and profiles. Thanks!
