New Board Format?

[lonewolf]

I don't know if it's just my work computer or what, but the board is totally different today than it was yesterday. I was on at home yesterday and everything was "normal" - all posts in one thread in a nice long list, up to several pages long. Just now I logged in on my way out the door from work and it's different. I can't explain it - instead of long "threads" of posts, there's just a little list at the bottom and I have to individually click on each one to read a thread. What happened?

It's not a new board format - a setting got changed on you. (I'm not quite sure how it happens. I've seen a handful of people post on it, but haven't had it happen myself.)

One of the mods will have to explain how to undo it - I can't find it!

Click on the options button located at the upper right hand corner of each message screen. Click on Standard under display modes. This will return you to the normal format.

Thanks! My home computer is fine. I'll fix my work computer tomorrow.

I've found that usally gets screwed up on me when I'm searching and reading old posts. Seems like you can access different formats and when you acess an outline, it stays stuck in outline.

Hi Liz, that's happened to me before too and it was really strange...eventually it just went back to normal. I have a question for you - how do you get all that info at the bottom of your page...like "gluten free since...."etc.??? btw everything you say about you and your symptoms etc. could be exactly the same on mine! However, I just found out for sure about 2-3 months ago. No wheat, no gluten, no eggs, no dairy (except butter)...etc. My doctor agrees that this is probably what it is...took me years and years before I ever heard of celiac. Sure is a totally new way of life (and it often sucks!). Thanks in advance for telling me how to set up my "bio"...KarenDianne

Thanks! My home computer is fine. I'll fix my work computer tomorrow.

The info at the bottom is called a signature. To create or change yours, click on the "My Controls" link in the tool bar to the right of "Logged in as:" Look on the left side for Personal Profile, and under that title, click "Edit signature." Type what you want in the box and click on the update button.

THANK YOU, I too was afraid it was a new change and I didn't like it at all !!! I was getting so frustrated trying to read through some posts. I've fixed it now

The posting format hasn't change for me, but the colours of the forum have.

Have there been any changes made to the board appearance? I went to the forum today, and all the colours have changed. I'm finding it really hard to look at...the colours clash with the Header at the top of the page, and the general colour combination is odd. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I find the new format really unappealing to view...and I'm feeling a migraine coming on while looking at it. (I have some visual triggers to my migraines.)

Is there a way I can change the settings for colours? I can't find any button or panel that will help me do that.
