RadioActive: From 1958 to 1967, that would have been Promotion Director Allen Farrell, often in conjunction with Program Director Allan Slaight or Marketing Director Lyn Salloum (later known as Lyn Rice) if there was a sponsored promotion. From the beginning until 1967, the CHUM chart was designed and created weekly by the amazingly talented artist Ben Wilson, who also created the many brochures and pamphlets that CHUM sales used and the ones that were handed out to the public at the CNE or Sportsmen Shows. Slaight left CHUM in 1966. Farrell and Wilson left in 1967 to start their own company called Creative Sight & Sound. When J. Robert Wood came in as Program Director, he, in conjunction with the Promotion person at the time would have decided who to put on the cover, unless it was a sales promotion.

Doug, any way we can get you to clean up your malfunctioning board signature? Over the years I've pointed it out a few times in threads. You've got parallel sets of IMG tags which is the first problem, but the actual URL is invalid so nothing renders. It just takes up display space and is broken, sadly.

Interesting and odd. I assume "My Options --> Avatar & Signature", then potentially "Source" toggle, does nothing for him? It's not unusual on board platforms for one's own customized signature to not be editable by an Admin, who can control other aspects of an account or general board options - but can differ per platform. A ticket with Boardhost might help - if it's been tried before, maybe a fresh support agent will help.

Something odd happened to Boardhost about a year or so ago. All attempts to contact them through their help desk have gone unanswered. I have no idea why, but they never reply, although they used to.

Would it make sense for me to delete my profile entirely and then launch a new one? 

I suppose you can try that, although you may have to use a slightly different name, like "Doug Thompson 1" if you reapply, because sometimes it won't let the same name be used. That's how paterson1 became paterson1!

Also, after changing the name of the spare account, I just found that I was able to reuse the original name for a new account. So RA, if you were to rename Doug's current account, that might allow him to set up a new account as Doug Thompson. 

Have you tried putting a few characters (random word, famous quote, etc.) into the "My Options --> Avatar & Signature" option? Even if you're seeing nothing in that section currently, placing a new one in there might reset/overwrite the mysterious ghost old one that's there but seemingly not see-able/changeable.
