Please, please help. It used to be that I would view topics so I could see which topics had replies I had not read. Now, I have no idea how to access this. The topics portion on the lower right side does not have anything to indicate which topics have new posts and which do not . . . at least not that I can see. I hope I am wrong.

Sorry, but I find this site VERY user unfriendly at the moment . . . so much so that I am considering going to another site altogether for info, products, etc. Augh.

On the right-hand side just about the blue "Start a New Topic" you will see "View new content". Or depending on which page you are on it will be above "Recently Added Topics" which is also in a blue box.

Look on the right hand side of the page near the top. There is an RSS icon, and near to it is a clickable item that says "View New Content." That is the function you are looking for to see topics and posts that are new since your last visit. To mark everything as read (for example, when you are done for a session), there is a clickable item at the very bottom to "Mark Board as Read."

Mushroom described it differently, but also correctly.

Sorry, it appears I wasn't clear in my post -- my apologies. I need to be able to view the new replies to my subscribed topics. How might I do it, please? I used to be able to do it easily previously. Thank you for any assistance.

Susie . . . I did a quote test for ya on the Tickle thread . . . I had no problems (did 6 quotes, did nae test for a limit though).

Not sure what you did . . . but I hit the multiquote button on each post and the reply button at the very bottom (not one of the reply buttons on an individual post)

Sometimes both, if I forget where I am :ph34r: However, mostly it's the tourists who drive on the wrong (right) side. :lol: I scared the cr*p out of meselph and another guy the other day when I pulled out on this little country road, on the *right* (wrong) side and was tottling merrily along until I saw this car coming toward me and was about to call home to tell hubby someone was driving on the wrong side of the road...well, y'all know that joke, right? Anyways, harm was averted to vehicles and peeples. It's just that I feel so darned comfortable on both sides of the road :lol: I can be a menace! So anyway, you probably still can't help me :rolleyes:

Thanks Scott,

I found it -- just not as obvious as before. Have not found any bugs and have been trying.

I think you'll find that what people use the most is looking at new topics they have not read and then marking everything as read to make it easier when they come back. In the future these two buttons should be closer to each other and obvious. Bigger type and color coded would also help. Otherwise the format is pretty seamless once you get used to it.

Nice Job

PS - I think the way to mark all posts as read is on the bottom-left--there is a "Mark Board As Read" link there.

Take care,

Scott

Lynayah, I never subscribed/watched any topics before so I don't know how it worked. However, I poked around and found the following. Check to see if this is what you need:

From the forum home page, on the right there is a box with "Recently Added Topic" on a blue header. Right below that is a box with "Watched Content" also on a blue header. Within this box, click on "Topics." Then you might need to click on the toggle button. (Don't know yet as I am currently experimenting with this feature).

On a side note, I don't know if your watched/subscribed topics transferred during the update so if nothing shows up there, you may want to resubscribe.

Hi Everyone...thank you for your comments. I hope everyone has figured out most of the issues that have been posted here so far, and if not perhaps we can compile a single list here with all issues that are unresolved, or things that look like bugs? Any takers?

Sure, that unresponsive script I mentioned is in fact still there, or it came back at least. However, it would seem to be browser specific, as it does it with Firefox, but hasn't done it with Opera yet. So far, the problem seems to only show up for threads, not the list of new content.

Threads still load very very slowly. The list of new content loads considerably faster than the threads. Looks like most of the page loads, then it gets bogged down somewhere. Maybe it's due to an ad server. I might try blocking ads to see if that makes a difference, but I don't really want to do that just to use the site. After all, advertisers help keep the site going, and occasionally I'm interested enough to click.

Anyone else with hi-speed Internet see a slow-down compared to the old board?

Mine seems the same, both at home and at work. I use Firefox and haven't seen the 'unresponsive script', but then, you may normally use more features of the board than I do.

I'm just clicking to a thread to read it, nothing more. In the last few minutes, there were a few pages that didn't take so long, and the script error didn't occur. Then when I got to this thread, it lagged a bit, but not as long as it has been doing. No script error there either, but the lag seems to coincide with a read from pagead2.googlesyndication.com (or something like that). Kinda tricky to tell, since the statusbar may not be updated during the lag period.

My best guess thus far is that an ad has a buggy script, and is on a slow ad server. If so, it should clear up once the ad goes out of rotation, or hopefully someone will remove the darn thing.

<EDIT>

When I posted this reply, I watched for the aforementioned ad server. I didn't see anything come from there, there was no script error, and the page loaded faster.

I agree. Who complained about the old board? This is not change I can believe in.

I don't think anyone complained. Software packages get updated, and the old versions stop being supported. This happens to be what the new package is. Maybe Scott had some say in the colors and layout, but maybe not. I didn't get to choose the layout for Office 2007, it just came with the upgrade.

Hi, Janet!

Thank you for your help. You're a doll to try to figure it out without ever using the subscribe function. I think you've just become one of my favorite people!

I've been using the functions you mention. Unfortunately, the topics do not show which ones have new replies and which ones do not. The old system showed you at a glance. The only way to tell if anyone has replied -- unless I am missing something -- is to open every darn thread, scroll, scroll, scroll . . . and if you see something new, good for you . . . and if you don't, well, that's valuable time you'll never be able to replace in your lifetime!

On top of it, to be able to get back into the topics, you have to exit the topic just viewed, go all the way back to the forum main page, click topics again, and then enter whatever topic you're searching. It is a huge pain and a horrible time waster (sorry, my anger isn't aimed toward anyone here, I am just very frustrated right now).

Another way to do it would be to click on your own profile, click on your posts, and find the topics you are interested in from there. I don't use the subscribe feature so can't help with that, but this is the way I find out if I have missed a response to a post. :)

This was a major upgrade--many things have changed. The look and feel is different and we all all feeling our way round, including the moderators.

There have been a number of issues identified. Some of them have been resolved, and others are still being worked on. Please bear with us as we work them out. Ask questions and post issues here. We will do our best to address them.

I don't mind the new board. I noticed it for about a milisecond and then kept looking for whatever I was looking for. We'll get used to it. We're the masters of adaptability what with our removing 85% of existent convenient food diet and all.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
