OK . . . got it . . . you have fallen out of the "standard" viewing mode.

To change (and this is what took me a while . . . I had to go find it . . . :P)

Go to your name in the green box at the top of the page.

Click on the arrow to get the drop down menu.

Click on My Settings.

On the page it takes you to, select Forums (in the gray header bar)

From there, scroll down to Topic Display Mode and select Standard.

Don't forget to Save Changes.

I don't have my name or the green box at the top of my page. In fact I was wondering how one logged on and off now, because there is nothing there :o So how am I able to post? I was logged in as anonymous at the time the board changed :huh:

To mark all forums as read, go to the bottom of the page where there is a dark blue strip with English (USA) written on the left hand side. Immediately under this blue border are the options for

Mark Board as Read

You can also mark the individual forums as read by going to the Forum Home Page and clicking on the Blue cube icon before each forum's name.

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, found it although on my mac its on the left side. Maybe it depends on where one is within the new system as to where the button shows up. Last night I found mark all read but cant find it now. Its going to take some time.....

I'm an old dog, do not like change. If it takes up less usage, fine otherwise put it back. lol

What is driving me nuts is when I go from an email notification to the site, I am put to the top of the posting and have to page to find the newest addition.

I miss seeing the geographical location of the members...sometimes it helped prompting a reply as to availability of products, restaurants, doctors, etc. in their area.

My resolution for this year is to figure out how to connect my photo to my screen name. Wish me luck!I will throw out my copy of the old instructions, and now search out new instructions.

Forgive if this has already been asked here: Is there an easy way to see which of my subscribed topics have new posts I have yet to read?

Well, it looks nice, but it's way slower than it used to be. It's like going back to dial-up! There was also an unresponsive script, but I guess/hope that issue has been resolved, as it didn't appear this time.

Fix the sluggishness, and it'll be acceptable.

But I see every topic is still pinned :rolleyes: Kinda makes polls useless, as they don't stay on top, and quickly get buried out of sight. That is unless the new format has some option specifically addressing that. But why pin everything? Basically negates the very purpose of the feature.

Well, it looks like I am going to be logged in here for the rest of my life--and beyond :huh::blink:

I have no way to log out (or in, if I weren't already "in") B) You guys are stuck with me!!! :lol:

There is no log-in feature on my screen, no name bar showing I am here, and retyping the URL and coming in through the front door instead of the back doesn't change anything. So here I am forever!!

My username with a Signout and Help feature are in a smallish green box on the right hand side of the screen imbedded in the same blue header that has the big grey Celiac.com with the modern-looking circle/slash thru the wheat thingy/icon.

There!!! Does that make it clearer??? :lol::lol:

Works for me, Shroomie! :D

Ditto. :D

Meh, I'm lukewarm on it. Too much white space (which makes it hard to read on my phone or laptop). But such is the way of web2.0+

It's just a way to display text, and works fine to that effect, though. There's no pleasing everyone on aesthetics. :P

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?

Unfortunately there is no going back to the old skin (look and feel), as it will not work on the new board software, so this is what the new look will be for some time--I'm sorry if some of you don't like it, but I've actually had far less backlash switching to this look compared to when I switched to the old board look several years ago. Anyway, it is my experience that you can't please everyone when making changes like this. Hopefully everyone can get used to the new look, and perhaps those who feel it is too bright can dim their screens a bit, as that should help.

Take care,

Scott

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,

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.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I don't know how to even begin this or what topic to post this under, so feel free to move it if need be, but I just need a place where I can be honest and I need to vent to people who can relate and who can hopefully inspire me to get back on the right track with my life. This whole gluten / celiac/ testing etc has been nothing but an uphill battle and struggle for me since it began. When I went gluten free years back, it was the hardest thing I ever did, and I did it on my own without much help or guidance aside from this group. I am a foodie and a carb lover and a baker and having to give up so many foods that brought me so much happiness was so incredibly hard for me, but I eventually did it. Even when people encouraged me to have just a little or cheat here and there I didn't give in.  I have since developed uncontrolled diabetes which has complicated all this to say the very least, because none of the breads, flours or replacement foods, that actually taste semi good are diabetic friendly (at least not for me). So I have struggled with eating gluten off and on in the form of crackers and breads and low carb keto foods, even though I know I shouldn't. I do good for a while and then I completely lose control again and somehow justify it in my mind.  Inevitably because of my struggles, I was really concerned about going back on gluten (full time) for the gluten challenge, I mean it gave me an excuse to party hard, and be miserable while doing so, but I was afraid once I did that challenge for 8-10 weeks that I would never be able to give the gluten back up again. And that is exactly where I am sitting at as we speak. It has been an on again off again roller coaster ride of no gluten, gluten, little gluten, no gluten, lots of gluten etc.  I go from buying small loaves of bread and keto tortillas and buns to whole wheat buns and pasta - justifying it somewhat because it is better for my blood sugar issues and that is what is most important. I binge eat some of the foods and then I feel horribly guilty for eating it and then I end up throwing all the gluten food away in a desperate attempt to stop the madness. Then I restart the process all over again at some point.  My joints ache. My stomach is constantly sour. I walk around like I have terrible arthritis or something. My hands are swelling terribly, sometimes I can't even make a fist. I am experiencing numbness and tingling in my hands and weird things with numbness and tightness in my face as well. I am dropping things constantly. I am forgetting lots of things and struggle to recall things. I can't focus on my work. I am having nightmares. I am wanting to sleep all the time. I am bloated and sometimes have diarrhea and nausea, but then other times I am horribly constipated. My  post herpetic neuralgia issues from shingles are much worse now and overall I am just so irritable and angry and emotionally numb.   I know for some it is a simple choice, but I can't be alone in this struggle. Thanks for letting me getting all this out there. I hope someone can scare or encourage some sense into me. It is kind of insane what I do to myself. And I am just tired of dealing with all the food issues and health issues

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      Hi Belle, well done for advocating brilliantly for yourself. Looks like you have a good dermatologist on board now to help you go forward. Hope your elimination diet continues to keep you itch free. Sue

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Hi everyone I have just come out of the Dermatology appointment on a bit of a high! Derm said that she does not see dermatitis herpetiformis often but believes everything I said about thinking that I have it. She said it is either that or a wheat allergy - either way, the answer is the same, no gluten. She said that she spends her working life advising people to trial eliminating wheat and diary etc. but they don't do so (I did say that I am equally as guilty and it really got to the point of desperation with me before I tried eliminating gluten. Plus I knew it was not an eczema flare when the little bumps appeared on my skin. She will do a blood and a FIT test for Coeliac but expects both to be negative. I said that I would refuse to do a 'gluten challenge' if she recommended one and she smiled and said she admired me for that, it is not necessary as my evidence was very clear. She did not think a biopsy would be worth doing but did see the bumps on my feet and said that yes, they do suggest gluten/Coeliac/what allergy.  She said that she would like me to be her 'case study' for investigating this so thoroughly myself - and for trying the elimination diet! She does not see dermatitis herpetiformis often. All my bloods that were taken when I was at my lowest point after seeing her were (surprisingly to me) normal. Iron was just a bit low but I have since increased all my vitamin and mineral intake. I did not mention Dapsone because I think I can do this with diet alone now that I appear to have cut out everything that was irritating me (thanks to you guys here). She will give me a repeat prescription of Elocon to use to clear the final areas of sore skin up. I will stay here with you all as we all progress through this.

      New diagnosis

      I've tried a few bread recipes but I am by no means an expert. However, this recipe is the best bread I've made to date. It uses 3 grains (or their flours if you prefer) and requires a strong blender (like a Vitamix) but no bread machine. I use it to make English muffins or a loaf of bread. The muffins are a little easier to make and the bread comes out in premade portions. It passes the sandwich test and it tastes great over several days (to my taste, store-bought gluten-free breads tend to lose their flavor on the second day) This recipe is pretty flexible in terms of varying ratios or types of grains.  https://www.instagram.com/p/DPDnyaJjpHh/

      I don't have a bread machine but it sure looks like the bread I remember from BC. This is on my "to do" list.
