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.

: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.

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?

      @RMJ it makes sense as it’s something I’ve experienced more than once. Currently 24 weeks and baby is doing well! Will be seeking more medical advice today

      Doc says I have celiac, despite no GI symptoms?

      By trents · Posted

      Bright blood in the stool would indicate bleeding down at the lower end in the colorectal area as opposed to the small bowel below the stomach where celiac manifests damage to the villous lining. Are these blood stools persistent? It's not unusual for this to happen once in a while to most anyone when a small surface vessel breaks, kind of like a nose bleed. As Scott Adams said, you must continue to consume regular amounts of gluten if the specialist will be doing additional testing for celiac disease, which could include an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining.

      Gluten-free bread

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Checkouts gluten-free recipes at twww.redstaryeast.com We tried a bread machine years ago and weren’t happy with results. Bread machines have pre-set rise & bake times.  Unfortunately, the program doesn’t adjust to slight differences when measuring, relative humidity or temperature of ingredients & in kitchens.  Lots of efforts for ONE odd- sized loaf that hard to cut into useable slices.  College-aged son found best use for bread machine was as heavy duty mixer that ‘kept dust in the box.’  He would pre-measure ingredients for 2-3 loaves & use machine mix up individual batches.      Since gluten-free bread needs  to rise only once, each recipe of dough went into a loaf pan. Pans sat counter to rise—time dependent of temp in kitchen. Then, baked in oven until he, not machine, decided it was done.     Took ~10 min extra up front to measure & mix additions but adds nothing to rise & bake times.     Loaves are great for slicing (Slice extra before freezing!). One mess to clean up, saves time & energy since you need to bake  as is half as often (If  you plan to bake lots more than bread, opt for KitchenAid/ heavy duty mixer instead.  Cover with dish towel to capture dust!)     Personally, I’m sure I had as a kid since I’ve never been a fan  of bread. .  Have been wrapping corn tortillas around things for 40+ years.  Can still get a dozen 12-pks of tortillas for same or less than price as 1 load of gluten-free bread. PLUS. the tortillas have more nutrients!
