I sometimes have to log in 3x when I try to post. I write the text, try to post - and it says log in. So go back and do that. Save my text. Then redo it, and try to post and then it says 'log in'. Just a while ago I did it 3x :blink:

I don't have any problems logging in, apart from the first day after the switch, where it took me a few minutes to work out I had to log in under my email address, and not username.

I have been looking into a few people's profiles, and I was quite surprised to find out what sort of imformation is in there, as in the last person to have visited etc etc, and to me it feels like I'm invading someone's space, but at times it is nice to know a bit more about the person posting in a thread. But in hindsight I don't mind people going into my profile.

Also in the profiles, we are given a rating, how is that managed? Who gives us as posters a rating, is it other posters or the moderators? Just curious.

I use Firefox as my browser and can go into Tools->Options->->Privacy->Passwords->View Saved Passwords

then find www.glutenfreeforum.com and delete it. Then when you log in next time it will ask you if you want to save it. The reason the log in problems are happening is because your User Name is saved instead of your email, which is the new log in method for many reasons--way too many people forget their User Names.

Take care,

I guess that's what happens when you deal with a bunch of people who are susceptible to brain fog! :P

That is precisely why I just use my name for my user name. Hopefully I won't forget that. :blink:;)

No, you're not. Scott mistakenly showed to go to 'Privacy', but you need to click on 'Security' instead. That will bring you to a window where you can click on 'show passwords'.

I was curious about the "rating" with the illuminated stars, in a members profile. I did not get passed my profile, much. Well OK, I looked at a few. What is the criteria for the rating?

AND ALSO.... I posted this in the recent past. You need to publish a cookbook with all our gluten free recipes from this forum, to support this forum. We need to give back. If you can work it out, we will be there and glad to contribute.

plantime Contributor

Ooh, I agree with the cookbook! I'll provide my pancake recipe and my cheater-pizza instructions. If one is printed, I'll even buy one!

Got a question:

I have received several e-mail notations that someone has put ME on their friends list. Do I need to approve this? I changed my selection to "receive, pending approval". How do I accept my friends, and how do I add friends to my list.

I do not see a way to create my own "friends list".

Help :blink:

BTW: Speak SLOWLY and ELEMENTARY I have attempted to use this computer as a boat anchor many, many times.

:lol::lol:

I just accept whoever want to add me as a friend, but......see if this works.

Click on My Friends. Another window will open where it shows your friends. You have two other tabs, one says Friends Pending Approval and the other says Mutual Friends. Go to the Friends Pending Approval and see what that says. I can't help you definitively as I don't have mine set to that. Mutual Friends would be those where you both have each other listed as friends.

AndreaB Contributor

To add friends you can either move your mouse over the posters name in a thread, click on the arrow and choose add as friend; or do a member search and when that person comes up click on Add as Friend (under the area for personal photo).

You have to "ok" it with email if someone wants to list you as a friend?? :huh:

I havent checked my email in over a week... this means nobody can list me as a friend??? :unsure:

Maybe nobody has even asked me?? :(

How come I don't receive e-mail notification that someone wants to be my friend??? ( If there are any of course!! :lol: )

EDIT: Ok, I checked my email account and it does tell me I am on someones 'friend list', BUT I don't get any notifications?

jerseyangel Proficient

Nikki and Rachel,

You are both on my friend's list. All I know is that I have gotten email notification when someone has added me as their friend. I have never been asked to approve anyone.

Have you viewed your friend lists, and looked at the mutual friends? You click on mutual friends up in the lefthand corner of your friend's page. That way, you can see who of your friends has also added you as their friend. :blink:

Now, I do have one person who added me as a friend, who I tried to add, but it's pending approval :blink::blink:

Nikki--The mince pies in your avatar look fabulous! :D

Wow....sounds complicated....all the approvals and mutual friend stuff...its over my brainfogged head. :huh:

Will try to figure it out later. B)

I guess I will have to remain "friendless" for the time being. :P

I'm also wondering about this whole rating thing. Someone visited my profile and gave me four stars out of five. what does that mean? LOL this is all very complicated :lol:

Kaycee Collaborator

Yes please, can someone explain the ratings. I've got five stars!

Mango, I would've given you five stars.

WHO DOES THE STAR RATINGS ANYWAY..I PERSONALLY THINK IT'S A STUPID IDEA.

I MUST HAVE ASK THIS QUESTIONS 4 TIMES ON HERE.

JUDY :ph34r:

AndreaB Contributor

Judy,

I'm thinking anyone can do star ratings.

For instance, go to Patti's profile and put your cursor on the fifth star and click. You should get a message that it's updating (or some such thing). Patti already has five stars but you can see if it will work.

Judy, I dont have the answers. Personally, I dont use the "star" or "friends" features. I dont like to single people out like that and I dont want to accidentally alienate somebody.....so I just havent used either of those features.

Everyone is my "friend" and we are all worthy of 5 stars in my book!! Mango...that goes for you too! :D

Ditto- What is this star thing? I feel like I'm on "ratemyprofessor.com". I am just going to random people's profiles and giving them all 5 stars cuz you all all beautiful to me! Maybe we need the little chili pepper to show who's hot or not :P :P :P

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
