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?

:lol:

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?

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
