I don't know Carrie, I right clicked on the picture and it said several options but one was set as desktop background? I am just lost on it.

Right click on the picture icon (in the window/file) and scroll down until it says copy, click on copy, close (X) the window you are in and then right click anywhere on your desktop, and scroll down until you see paste. This should work :) but let me know if there are any problems

Hi - Im trying to change my avitar pic -

It tells me it uploaded my new pic, but now shows my old pic still but with the dimensions of the new pic (my old pic is now stretched wider...), but it doesn't show the new pic...

Is a moderator reviewing the new pic...and in the meantime I now look fat? ;-)

I think this is happening, because the last time I tried to change it, it didn't change right away...but said it did...when I came back on, it had changed!

It's very confusing....perhaps the admin can add info to the avitar change section to tell members what to expect?

No, theres no issue, its your broswer at fualt. I see this alot on my board. After you change your avatar, hold down SHIFT then refresh the page. It should update right then.

I see your new one. and you are not even near fat...that should not be in your vocabulary.

They usually change immediately. Mine changed immediately when I did. You may want to hit refresh on your comp though.

Kaiti the FAT look she sees is cause the she sitll sees the OLD image, but with the NEW images dimensoins... so its STRETCHED out. This is a very comon problem with IPB software. It is easly fixed with the refresh method I mentioned.

Is it because I was away I can't see the display of my avatar or is it because I'm in an internet cafe?

I see most of yours today but didn't see any when I was last in?

Do any avatars get used twice concurrently?

Does one have to have one?

Can one search on avatars or no avatar?

Best wishes

I can't see your avatar either.

The site was updted and since then some of the avatars can't be seen.

You do not have to have one.

I'm pretty sure it is because you are on a different computer. I didn't see mine when I logged in from my Dad's computer.

I see an avatar of a stick figure man holding a hammer--in gray w/ a white background. Oh, and the guy's torso is covered in gray spots--kinda like chicken pox, lol.

Technically, no, you can't have 2 at once, but with some people, it may take awhile for your new one to show up, in which case people could be seeing older versions of your avatar for some time.

You do not need to have an avatar.

Not really sure what you mean about the last question. You can search for avatars, you can choose not to have an avatar, etc.

Yep, I see one now too...did you just get a new one?

Yes, I figured as someone else now uses "my old" one maybe I should get a new one?

I'm not sure whether I identify very strongly with the grey, spotty "hammer man" though ...

Shall I "get rid of" the silly grey hammer man?

Can several people use the same avatar concurrently?

Yes, I believe more than 1 person can have the same one

Of course! It's just that you see that mainly with avatars from the gallery--the chances of someone else deciding to use your hammer man are very slim, but it would be allowed and possible.

Just had another look... maybe it is someone or something hammering him down...

Could be, but I still think that he's holding the hammer, but the stick figure wasn't very carefully drawn, so they look separated. Unless the hammer is falling from the sky...? :D

So I tried to change my avatar, and put up a pic of me and my bf and all it did was squish the one I had and make it look weird.

What gives?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
