Don't Need Help, Just A Question

I'm just curious about the difference in "Member" vs. "Advanced Community Member" in the info below our avatars. I thought mine used to say "Advanced", but now it just says "Member". Did I get demoted?

Hi Liz :D

I don't really know--but I would say that no, you didn't get demoted. :lol:

I know that the member title used to change with the number of posts a person had--when they reached a certain number, they advanced to the next level.

I was nosing around a little, and I see that all of us that used to be advanced members are now in the members group--I'd say it has something to do with the new version of the board.

I don't know this for a "FACT" so please don't pumel me If I'm wrong here, but I believe it has to do with how often you post. If you post so many posts in a certain amount of time then you are moved up, but if you don't post for a day or so then I think you can be moved down. As far as I know it has to do with how many times you post in a certain period of time. I'm not sure if it's per day, week, or month, but it seems as though it has something to do with posts and time!!

If I'm wrong here I'm sure someone will clear it up for us!!

I see that now, Debbie and Electra. I always thought it was based on the number of posts--I wonder if that changed?

Scott--what's the story here? Curious minds need to know :D

I think the group has always been "members", but some of you/us have "advanced community member" under the avatar. Those of you that have put your own label under the avatar now don't see that "advanced" part.

OMG--I think you're right! Never even thought of that. I still think the change is due to the "new" board. I've had something under my custom member title for some time now, and just recently have been changed to "member".

Yes, it is based on the number of posts. Some people have gone into their My Controls-->Edit Profile Information-->Custom member title and changed it. To know for sure what "level" member someone is just look at the graphic.

Take care,

Scott

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
