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.

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??

Go to https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/ by clicking the link here, or click the item on the title bar to the left of the green button labeled "Forums."

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.

      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

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      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.
