After I post, I use my browser's back button to get back to the list of threads. It takes at least three clicks of the button to get back, and the time to wait for it to reload. Is there a faster way of going back after posting?

Up on the menu bar it says "view new posts" if you click that it will take you to all the posts since your last log-in. Once you have read them they become lighter in color than the ones you haven't read yet.

This is what I do so that I don't have to go back all the time:

1) Go to view new posts

2) Right click on a post you want to view

3) Select "open in new window".

4) This opens a new window for that post so when you're done, you "x" out that post and the "view new posts" window is right there as you left it.

5) Repeat steps 1-4 as many times as necessary :)

celiac3270,

That must be how you sometimes reply back to my posts less than 30 seconds after I have made my post! :lol:

God bless,

Thank you celiac3270! :) I use view new posts every time I log on, so I knew about that feature. I just didn't know how to go from reading on post to the next without wasting valuable reading/posting time waiting on my browser.

Thank you, thank you!!! I was doing the same thing as Mariann and had started visiting other sites, even tho this is my favorite, in desperation. The back botton had become so-o-o slow. Now I can enjoy my favorite site again. You are a great help to those of us who are learning; the computer, as well as about gluten-free living. Granny

celiac3270,

Where does it say "open in new window"? After I click on the post I want to read it just goes right to it. I have an apple it doesn't have a right and left click only one click.

Also what do you do if when you click view new post and it shows there have been tons of new posts that you haven't seen yet, but at that time you don't have time to read them all? Cause seems the next time you sign on, the computer assumes you have read those posts and so when you click view new posts it only shows you the new new posts not the other new posts that you didn't read last time......Did I explain that well?

Yep...this method works pretty well--there's a slightly faster version, too. What I do is the open new window thing, but then I minimize the window while it's opening. Then I do open new window again, but mimimize the new window when it comes up. I do this until all the posts I want to read are open. This way you save the time of even waiting for one window to open because by the time you've done all that, the first few topics are loaded. Then you can really just read and close, read and close...that's about as fine tuned as my posting and reading strategy is :D

I see your points, but I've only used a mac once or twice ever so I don't really know the answer to the first one. On a PC there are two mouse buttons (left and right) with the left one doing what you described, just opening up the link. When you right click on a link, though, it brings up a menu with the options to open the link, open the link in a new window, save target as, print target, and a host of other options.

With the second question, I usually go to today's active topics, because then you see all the posts for the day, but the ones you haven't opened yet have the bright blue envelope and the ones you have opened have the faded envelope icon next to it. This way you know which ones to read...

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Gluten related ??

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
