You mean your avatar right? go to my controls upper right first one underlined. Then along the left you'll see my avatar or something like that...then hit browse, choose your pic, then save avatar...hope I explained it right, i'm a tad slow myself :huh: Julie

hi there. when I go to my avitar, it tells me I do not have priviledges. I am pretty new to the boards so do I need to log in a certain amount of time/messages before I can have the privilege of adding a picture?

well as you can see, I figured it out! Thanks

You are probably going to the personal picture part, no one is authorized to have that, not sure why, make sure you go you your avatar settings in the my conrols part. then you should be able to change it.

no one knows about the personal picture setting, it is just how the board is made up.

why is it that everytime I go to try and post my photo on my profile the site keeps telling me ... Sorry, the board administrator has not enabled your permissions for this part of the control panel. Is there some loop hole I am not jumping through?...Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Brizzo,

You need to go to "Edit Avatar Settings"--the 'personal photo' is disabled.

If that dosen't help, let me know! :)

I just went through the same thing. Open up the picture & up in the tool bar it should have the word "picture", (I'm using Microsoft picture). Click on that & go down to compress picture. Off to the side I clicked on "web page". That took it down to 27 KB. Also do a Save as so that you have both size pictures saved.

how then do you make the photo larger?

Resizing will make the picture smaller or larger.

Compressing the picture reduces the amount of memory needed to open the picture. Which is usefull in sending the picture or posting on the web site.

Hi,

You need to go to "Edit Avatar Settings"--the photo setting is disabled here.

If you still need help--let me know :)

I just changed my avatar tonight. Go to "My Controls." On the left menu click "Edit Avatar Settings." The select one of the provided pictures or hit "Browse" to upload your own. You might want to make sure it isn't too large. Good luck!

Mamaw,

I would love to see your picture! :D

Follow the steps that My Suicidal Turtle gave you, and then you may have to keep re-sizing the picture down until it takes it.

I've had some that went through right away, and others that I had to change the size several times before it would work. Use "crop" and adjust the size down from there.

Good luck--I hope it will work for you!

I am having troubles changing my avatar picture. Pretty often actually. The old one keeps on coming back instead of the new one. I even delete my avatar so there is none and then upload a new one. It is only 3,9 bytes something and small, just to make sure I am not using something too big, but still, the old avatar picture comes up instead but in a smaller size (same size as the new uploaded one). I just don't get it. :unsure::blink: help?!

(If you see the avatar of my husband fishing, well his shoes, then that is the old one I am trying to swap out for my dog)

Have you tried clicking 'refresh' (F5)?

Haha!! I tried refresh and now it works!!! Thank you! What a silly little thing, but still. ;)

It is a "she". Her name is Daisy, she is 3 this spring. German Sherpherd/Labrador Retriver mix. She hates getting her picture taken, so that is why she looks some what grumpy. hehe

She is super mellow and a sweetheart. I love her too much I am sure. She is my gluten free side kick these days.

Well, too much about my dog. :P;)

Thanks again! :D

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
