I don't see any indicators of all threads being pinned. Does this mean they're finally not anymore?

One issue I just ran into, is I clicked New Content (after making a few replies) and although it said there were 20 topics, the list was empty. So I clicked my bookmark for the new content, and the topics got listed.

No, it means that you are looking at the "New Content" view where the pin indicator is not showing. That is something we are working on, cuz we need that back.

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 can't even imagine how much work this must be for you. Okay, you've convinced me . . . I'm holding out all good faith that the boards become a little more user friendly again.

Thank you for all you do for all of us.

Hang with us Lyn, we're gettin' there . . . :D

OK . . . I've spent a little more time with the "Watched Content" box.

First scenario: If you click on the "Topics" tab and you don't see your any of your subscribed threads but you see the "toggle topic with no new" button, this means none of your watched threads have any new posts.

Second scenario: If you click on the "Topics" tab and there is at least one thread listed, all of these threads listed have new posts. At this point, if you hit the toggle button (now at the bottom of the list of threads with new content), you would switch to all the other threads that you watch that DON'T have new posts. Hitting the toggle button again brings you back to the threads with new posts. If you select one of these threads that have new posts, it WILL take you to the first UNREAD post. Once you leave that thread, that thread name will be moved to the list of watched threads that have no new posts. (Note that if you use the back arrow to return to the watched content box, you will not see the updated thread list).

OK . . . As far as I know, I think the only way to access the Watched Content is from the home page. So the quickest way back to the Watched Content box is to probably hit "forum home" at the bottom of the page under the last blue border stripe.

Now, it strikes me that the toggle button should probably say "toggle topic with no new" when you are on the page with threads with new posts AND "toggle topic with new" when you're not. I'll ask Scott, but I might not fully understand this feature and it might be right as is.

If Watched topics were lost during the upgrade process, I'm sorry about that--there is no way to get them back so you'll have to find the topics again and add them to your watched topic list.

Is there a consensus that there is a bug in the Watched Topics function? Can you add lot's of topics and get the notifications? Please PM me if you are experiencing problems with it.

FYI: You can now log into this forum with your Facebook account--keep in mind that any posts you make will be under that different personality--and I am trying to fix a bug where you can import your Facebook info, pics, etc., directly into an existing account here.

Take care,

Scott

Thank you! I'm so happy to learn this!!!!! :)

Just an FYI: My browser (Explorer) doesn't show "toggle topics with new," instead it just says "toggle topics with" -- the "new" doesn't show. If others view it this way as well, that may be adding to the new post confusion.

FYI: This may not be related to anything mentioned here, but one known bug is that when you are on the forum's home page:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/

there is a button that, at least in the Fire Fox browser, appears in the center of the top-right advertising banner. This button will change your home page view so that you can view new topics.

I just wanted to mention that, and that bug should be fixed soon.

Take care,

Scott

Would there be a way to move the "Mark Board As Read" function to the top of the screen, perhaps in the same vicintity as the "View New Content" function?

I have noticed when I am typing a response that I can not always see all of the text on a line. The advertisements seem to me to be getting in the way. Also if I happen to proof read my response before posting and I find an error, if I go back up to an area to fix, it the box seems to "jump" and you can not see where your cursor is. You have to scroll down to find it. This happens to me when I edit also. It is very distracting.

I've noticed that the time for all my posts is off by one hour. I have double-checked my settings, and all is correct. So I'd have to guess either the board or the server is off.

hmm, mine are correct. Maybe there's a daylight savings time box that's improperly checked in your time zone.

RiceGuy Collaborator

The DST setting is what I expected to be incorrect, but it's not. It reports the correct offset from GMT, which is why I figure the server time might be off. I'd have to set the wrong time zone in order to compensate.

I suppose, depending on the time zone of the server, some users might see the correct time.

I am seeing correct times on my posts and those by others. I am in the Eastern time zone. The server operates on Pacific time.

Well, I've checked and double-checked my settings. Just looked now, and I noticed it said that the DST setting is automatically set when you load the board index. So I went to that page. If this post has the correct time, then going to the index page is the key to having the correct setting.

<EDIT>

Yep! That was it! Strange. And I thought I'd loaded that page the first day I saw the new format.

Okay, RiceGuy, I need your help here. I sent Scott an email about this problem. My time is not adjusted for daylight savings either. BUT, what the heck is the index page and how do you get there??

Okay, didn't know that was called the Index Page. And that's the one that has the incorrect time in the lower right corner. I can highlight it, but I can't change it.

To access your time settings, look at the top right where your user name is. Click the downward-pointing arrow to the right of it and choose "My Settings" from the pull-down menu. After making changes there, reload the index page. That should get it sorted.

Can you tell me what kind of browser software you are using, and what version of it? Also, are you on a Mac or PC platform? Are others having this issue?

I can't reproduce this and I have the same setup here at work and at home. I wonder if this could be your browser's security settings? Be sure that you are not blocking cookies, and that you security settings are at the default levels.

Any way there can be a topic called 'what happened to my posting'? That way if something needs to be deleted or removed we would know where or why it disappeared.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @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?
