Thank you for the good idea. What exactly is a hyperlink, and how do you do it?

When you hit 'reply', you'll see a few icons above the edit window where you enter your response. There's the button for "bold", "italics", "underscore", "strikeout", "font color", and then "hyperlink". The macro for hyperlink pops up a user window, when you click on it, that asks you to enter the address, or URL, then the text you want to have that link.

So, for instance, if you wanted to put a link to google in your reply, you'd click that button, enter the url (I usually cut and paste from another window, but in this case it's simple: http://wwww.google.com) at the first prompt, then enter "google" in the second prompt. When you click "ok", it will enter the code for the hyperlink in your entry. (alternatively, you could enter this code yourself, when you get used to using it.)

in this case, of linking to your own post, you'd need to write the other post first, so you have a URL you can copy and link to, and then put it wherever you want to reference.

The video appears fine on my Firefox browser, but it's cropped on IE7 (microsoft really messed things up with this upgrade). I wrote a message to the webmaster to see if there's anything they can do about it.

Regarding Video Issues....

Ok, I can view the video fine. Nini can view it fine. Anyone else? And if anyone else is successful, what browser and version are you using? I use Firefox and know for a fact that Nini does, too. She and I viewed the video fine. I tried to open it in Internet Explorer to answer questions in a pm I was sent, and guess what....In IE I get the little talking mouth video, too :lol:

I've posted directions for downloading the free Firefox browser here.

We can continue discussion of video/browser issues there.

LATER.....

Haha! Gamecreature posted while I was composing this. Yep, he's right, but it's not just a problem with IE7, although that answers my question. I wondered if the problem continued in IE7. It does. :blink:

Celiac Central may be able to correct this. But I suspect they don't typically embed video, so they may or may not invest time in making it work. I hope they don't remove the links!

I am taking a web design course at my local community college, and my instructor told us last Wednesday that IE7 is terrible, and the college has told everybody that they're not allowed to download it, because it would mess up a lot of stuff. Just in the nick of time, because when I got home, there was my little upgrade icon (I will absolutely NOT enable automatic updates, they tell me what they've got, and I decide if I want it), telling me it wanted me to okay the download of IE7. Needless to say, I told them to not ask me again. Phew!

I am now going to watch the videos, as I haven't had time before (on Firefox, which is my default browser).

Any way to uninstall IE7? We installed it and I don't like it. I finally was able to listen to it and see the little 1" x 2" box.

It said in my little window that gave me the choice to download it, that you can uninstall it if you don't like it. Go to your control panel, click on the 'Add or remove programs' icon, find IE7, click on it, click on uninstall, and you should be able to get rid of it again.

I just watched both the videos, and was very impressed. Even though, yes, improvements could be made, all in all it was fantastic. It was done in a very positive, informative way. I really, really liked it.

Wow--I decided at the last second not to install the IE7 (I'm not computer savvy, and had no idea what I was doing) and just listened to the second broadcast.

Thanks, Ursula--I'll know for next time :)

Not to derail the thread, but here's some browser answers for you.

The rumor is that IE7 is designed the way it is to drum up support for the new Vista OS that's due out soon. While it certainly appears rushed (it ignores more than a few established web standards) I can't imagine how this would make anyone want to rush out and buy Vista.

There is a work-around available on the IE website that will let IE7 mimic IE6. Alas, it does not fix the issue with the video playback on the Celiaccentral site. Neither does downloading the latest version of Quicktime.

You can uninstall IE7 and go back to the earlier browser if you like. Instructions are available on the IE website. I'm probably going to switch over to Firefox - it has all of the bells and whistles of IE7, with fewer headaches. The only thing I'll miss is FTP support, but Microsoft made a mess of that in IE7 as well. I'll just use Network Neighborhood to access my FTP sites.

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.
