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

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
