We just upgraded to the latest version which was an all-night event for me. I actually began yesterday at about 2PM and was supposed to take about 1 hour, but we had some problems. Anyway, I do not know all of the features, but there are supposed to be a lot of them. I hope everyone like it.

Take care,

Scott

I got confused with the username too....don't feel left out :) I have my self as constantly logged in at home, so a few weeks ago I finally figured out to use my email addy, this morning it took a good 5 tries before I saw it said username...I blame it on the rain

I've got my browser set to remember logins, so it remembered that it used my email address. Today the board didn't recognize it. I needed to use my username instead.

I'll have to explore around and see what's new. :) I have noticed that the board layout doesn't look quite right in Firefox for Mac though..."Blogs" is bumped down out of the menu.

Michelle

Edit: I've since tried it in Safari...looks perfect, but the browser is slower than molasses (I think the last Safari upgrade screwed it up,) so will have to stick with Firefox for now. I checked the login info again too...seems it wants you email address to login on the front page, but username when using the "login" page.

Wow, going to have to explore some.

I had to log in using my email address. Haven't had to log in for about 4 months now since I switched to DSL.

I had 3 people contact me to find out if I was having troubles getting on. :ph34r:

I must have a reputation for being on here all the time. :lol::lol:

Seriously though, I have been cutting back my time. :D

Hey, Scott,

Can you set the board up so that folks can long on with either their email or their user name? I've seen this done on other boards.

Spell check.....hoorah!

I found that, but I think that I need a users guide for the rest of the new stuff :unsure:

Thank for all your work Scott, it is much appreciated.

Spell check? Is it automatic? Will it allow Canadian spelling, like neighbour, colour, etc? :P

I have a simple observation. In my humble opinion, the "Top" button is waaaay too close to the "Report" button. I feel that is would too easy to accidentally hit "Report", when intending "Top", causing issues for the Monitors.

I too found I could not enter the site yesterday. I always think its me doing something wrong but I knew the site must have been down .. Now, here we go again learning all the new stuff......

Thanks Scott for keeping this site up & running... I would be lost if you ever stopped... This site is my lifeline to celiacs as there is no close-by support group.

Thanks to all the posters who have helped me out with info ...

Hi Guys,

will try (ha) to misspell something..( you all know what a speller I AM NOT)..

Scott love all the new features..now to figure out how to use them :lol: Thanks for all the hard work.

We appreciate all that you do. Like the new 'spelled out rules and think the troller one is new..thank god it's there.

Maybe this will help the moderators some..and you too to squelch some troublemakers at the 'get-go'

splling.

It is on the upper right after you hit reply. I am not sure that it is activated. When I click on it it shows a little hand :unsure: If someone know about this, please post. I'm still reading "computers for dummies".

Everytime I click on "ABC-check", I get a pop-up blocker alert. Help anyone?

I didn't realize that there was a spell checker but am happy they added it (where is it?). Perhaps someone should start a "New Board Features" forum to discuss how to use the new features...as we figure them out...

Take care,

Scott

I'm not seeing a spell check button. Hmmm, I wonder if it is browser specific? I'm not seeing it built into the board though.

The pop-up blocker is an alert from your browser. Which one do you use?

I'm not really noticing any new features, but that may be because I put in my own BB Code rather than using the preset buttons. It would be nice if someone could start that new thread and walk us through the new stuff!

This is strange.... I clicked "add reply" and I see it currently in the upper right. When I click on it, a pop-up come up , "ie Spell Not Detected. Click OK to download page"........so what the heck does that mean. This has also has unabled, MY computer spell check. It obviously is not working properly.

Wow. I haven't been on for a while, and had to use my email to log in even though the prompt asks for username. I did see though that the field says "email address", but since I have my browser set to remember the log in, it replaces it. That may be why some have more trouble than others.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos. I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, ...

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to...

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response. Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless). I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his...

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed?...

I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
