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 ...

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!

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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC.

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Am I nuts?

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
