It looks better, but I'm finding it more difficult to find what I'm looking for. I'm sure that will come with time.

I don't like how you don't automatically subscribe when you start a new topic... or at least it doesn't give you the option to get an email when someone replies.

I'm just being picky though ;) I feel like an "old dog" too lol

Jillian, click on "Watch This Topic" and it will direct you to e-mail choices for notification.

Scott Adams Grand Master

Can anyone verify that you need to manually subscribe to topics that you reply to? There may be an admin setting that will change this if it is the case.

Take care,

Scott

JillianLindsay Enthusiast

Yes, I did this, but it used to be two steps less as you could just check the box before hitting submit.

I think I can handle a couple extra clicks if this is the case though ;)

Thanks!

Is there a "back to the top" option that I'm missing?

kenlove Rising Star

A picture guide of old vrs new would be helpful.

Some sort of FYI for sure,

A basic how to that compares what we did and what we have to do now too:

other wise it looks great -- if I can figure it out....

It's very attractive, also looks like it's going to take a bit of getting used to. Since it's the end of a long day here, I'm going to start in earnest tomorrow to figure it all out.

Scott, thanks for updating us to the latest--I'm sure before too long it'll become as familiar as the old one :)

It's under the last blue border at the bottom of the page (where it says English (USA)) on the far left side.

Am I not seeing the edit button? I need it like some need their coffee :lol: I have technical difficulties with computers :blink: I NEED an edit button...thanks!

mushroom Proficient

I am wondering what this "Reputation" thingy is, and why I don't have one :P And who says I'm neutral? I can be quite radical if provoked :lol:

P.S. And the edit button is there, Purple. I just added this postscript.

The edit button is directly underneath the post box, there's a blue strip that has a couple of options, with edit being one of them. I had to make sure it was there, too!

THANKS...I will try to find it!

Also why is someone else's health issues underneath my replies...kinda confusing :huh:

I like those easy access emoticons! No waiting!!

:lol::lol:

I believe it may have something to do with the little +/- (green/red) cirles on the bottom right of each post. I would guess that people could give you a thumbs up or thumbs down on your posts like they do on other sites like youtube. As far as I can tell, this feature has not been enabled.

Purple, are you sure you were looking at your post and not Liz quoting your post? I see a quote from Matthew at the bottom of your posts.

Wow Janet!! I'm impressed!

larry mac Enthusiast

Hate to be a kiljoy, but I'm not a fan of this look/color scheme. Not at all. Do not like the white, blue, and green combination as it is now. Please, please, please try to recreate the old forum look, request suggestions from forum members for ideas to improve this skin, or provide a choice of skins. Thanks.

best regards, lm

Just a few questions?

How can i scroll all new messages in all forums that I didnt see before?

How can I mark all messages as read?

Is there something (without subscribing to email) a way to have threads marked that I replied too?

Generally, with the old format, I liked to scroll through all new topics and headers and just read the ones I had some interest in.

All the topics categories were available at one time and I didnt have to go back and forth to main menus. Is this still possible?

Thanks Ken

Thanks janet...it works now and I SAW MY EDIT BUTTON...YAY!

Imanistj Contributor

I saw nothing wrong with the old format and really would like to return to it. I find the new look distracting, too bright, and it takes me much longer to "zoom in" on something I am looking for. The new format is more colorful but for me, it is not an improvement. I will say that I am unable to "intuit" and simply nuts around with new software until I have it all figured out. I'll feel better when the Dummy book comes out and explains how to use the new format.

I'm glad the people are the same :)

      @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?

      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.
