Scott had a great suggestion--we have this nice new board with lots of features that some of us may not be familiar with.

I know I have a few questions--one being about the spell-check. I'm also wondering about the "friends" feature.

Ask away--let's all help each other figure this thing out :D

This is a great idea!

I have one question, which regards viewing new posts. So far, I only know how to access *all* the new posts. But I don't know how to get to a listing of new posts in only those threads that I have a discussion going it. Sometimes I don't have time to check all the new threads, and there are a few discussions that I have lost track of, don't know how to find again, but would like to see if anyone has contributed something that I missed. Is there such a feature? Does anyone know?

There is a little box next to the topic, that you can click on to see the new posts , something like "last known view", it was there before the changes....You can see your last known view.

Some cool new features...... Great work Scott!

Just wondering: I can't see now as I am reading threads whether a particular person is "on" or not - is that taken away?

Thanks!

I'm having problems editing my posts....its just not working for me?? :unsure:

Anyone else??

When I hit "complete edit" nothing happens. It takes me back to the thread but my post is not edited and it actually still has my text box for editing on the thread?? :blink:

Why is this happening? If I hit "cancel edit" it will return to normal...but of course nothing is edited. :(

How can I go back and review old threads or posts?? For example if I wanted to locate info. from an older thread I had....I could go into my topics or my posts and find all the older threads or posts. Now I can only view my most recent??

Is there an easier way to go about this or do I have to do a search to bring up older topics??? :huh:

EDIT:

Nevermind...I figured it out. :)

You can access the members topics and posts in their profile...click on options...its now located on the left side of the page.

Hello Rachel,

If you figured it out please share it here with others who might have the same question. The last of the updates are finished and I will look into the edit issue--are others having this issue? My thought is that you if are having issues you may need to clear your cookies out and log back in.

Ok - I just edited this post using the "Full Edit" feature so it looks like that works.

Update--Last night I complete the final upgrade on the board's database that is supposed to speed things up. Sorry it was down again but the upgrade is now completed.

Take care,

Scott

Karen,

You can still see if a person is online. There is now a little head next to a person's name. If it is lit up that person is on.

The friends feature also tell you who of your friends is on at the time and puts all your friends at your fingertips for pm'ing (like the old system).

I haven't really explored too much.

Oh good--I thought that's what the little head meant.

Thanks, Andrea, I was wondering what those little guys were about, and why some of them were in colour, and some weren't.

Hey, I read on some boards that have a "voting/poll" mechanism. Something where you can do something like

"What brand of gluten free InsertProductHere do you like best?"

Product 1

Product 2

Product 3

Logged in memebers can vote, and it then shows a nice graph of the results.

I know those boards use the same system as this one, or at least it basically looks the same. I just don't know anything about how to make that work...

Any one see this before?

You can create a poll by first selecting "New Topic" and then clicking on:

Poll Options Click here to manage this topic's poll

From there you can set up your poll. I believe that this was an option prior to the upgrade as well, but it is seldom used here. You should try it out! :)

The poll feature was already here....but you're right Michelle....noone has been using it lately.

I always enjoyed the polls. :)

How come I have to log in everytime I come back on?? I never had to do this before....I was always logged in and it stayed that way.

Now I have to go through the process each time I come to the board. Anyone else experiencing this? How can I fix it? :huh:

I'm remaining logged in. Had you been here earlier today? The board was unavailable earlier this morning again due to some more upgrade work...I did have to log in again after the work was done, but not since.

I've remained loggged in throughout all the board maintanence. But a couple of weeks ago, I had to suddenly sign in--I don't know why--and then just as suddenly, didn't have to anymore.

I didn't do anything either time, so I'm not sure what the problem could be.

I also have to log in every time now. Never had to before, this site is saved to favorites and I would just click on that. Now, despite checking the box that says "remember me," I have to lot in every time! I am also wondering if it can be fixed? :huh:

Not an expert, but might it have something to do with cookies? ('tis the season)

I haven't had any problems staying logged in....but I haven't been on much since the re-do.

Susan...its still happening to me too. :( My box is checked and I still have to log in. Its not every time now.....its improved slightly so that now its occurring sort of randomly. :huh:

All I know about "cookies" is that I cant eat them anymore. :ph34r:

I never had to log in before the board changes.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

      By catnapt · Posted

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
