Good choice to have the

No problems with time or any menu functions with safari 4.0.4

Love the new look. Really miss seeing the locations of everyone. This really helped me when someone posted about a store, restaurant, etc. that was in my area of the country.

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?

Thank You!!!!!

I also miss seeing everyone's locations, especially when they're excited about a new restaurant or food source.

From what I saw, most members didn't make that information public anyway. I think it should be easy enough to just mention one's location when called for, if that's what they want to do.

Or people could get in the habit of adding to their sig.

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 wonder if you are talking about the same thing that is happening to me?. Drives me crazy! It's as if it doesn't give you enough space to type a longer post and instead of having a stable box of a certain size that you can scroll down or up in to see what's outside the boxes parameters, the box itself seems to move but not with the cursor. :angry: I don't know how to explain but I think we might be talking about the same thing and I don't think it's due to security settings. It seems to kick in when you've hit line number something.

Can you please tell me what browser you are using, and what version of it? Also, is this only happening when you reply to PM, or is it when you reply to a post, or both? Please be specific so that I can test this and try to fix any issue.

Also, I am checking to see if the poster's location can be added back.

Take care,

Scott

I haven't received any PM's to reply to so far so haven't done that. It's been every time I reply to a post. The length of the post seems to matter. Will get back to you with the other info. you asked for :unsure: Unlike the other poster, I didn't notice the advertisements getting in the way as being a factor. I notice as I'm typing this response(that I'm editing after posting) that in the blue space under the box to type in, the Save Changes and other buttons are not fully visible, only just the top portions. The remaining part of the buttons are hiding under the lighter blue strip where the show all button is. I wonder what will happen if I click it? I hadn't tried before. Let's see. OK, nothing happened. I hoped it might be the magic button to make everything visible. Well, time to click that sliver of a button.

Same on my computer, though they still work (Firefox 3.5.7)

By "click it" I meant the "Show All" button. The other buttons,with their bottoms shaved off, work just fine.

Using Firefox (not the latest version), I don't have any trouble with the reply form or the buttons. I've tried it at resolutions of 800x600 and 1024x768. Maybe I'll try using the newest one just to see if the problem others are reporting shows up.

BTW, thread pages are still taking tremendous amounts of time to load, regardless of the number of posts. The list of new content is noticeably faster. And I still get the unresponsive script message when loading random threads. Opening multiple threads in separate tabs...well, forget it. I just tested, and a typical thread takes more than four times longer than the time for the new content and non-forum pages. Sometimes it takes over one and a half minutes to load just one page. Again, everything else is just as fast as it has always been, so it's not my connection (hi-speed cable).

It would sure make it easier if we could attach screenshots. Not to stray off-topic, but couldn't the forum be set to allow long-time members that privilege?

You could post a screenshot on facebook or flikr and link it as an image.

I tried searching for directions on how to use the MultiQuote feature & couldn't find any information. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

It's really easy. If there is more than one post containing something you want to respond to, just click on the Multiquote button of each post, it will highlight in green, then scroll down and click on Add Reply as normal, and all the posts will pop up in the reply window. You can then just highlight and delete those parts of the post you don't want, leaving only what you want to respond to. You must be careful to leave the quote boxes in square paragraphs in the quote, or it won't work properly.

Thank you so much! I knew it couldn't be that complicated but I couldn't quite figure it out. Thank you again.

Sometimes funny things get stuck in the board's cookies. You could try clearing them all out and starting over. At the bottom of the screen, under the "English (US)" language selection, are four clickable items. Click the one that says "Delete My Cookies." You will be logged out and will revert to all the default settings. Log back in and things should be okay.

Tried it, it logged me out but I still have the list and not the forum where I can read each one without opening each individually. Is there something else I need to change??

Have you tried going back into your settings (down arrow near your username in the green box at the top of the page) and at the bottom under "search settings" and "forum results display" choose "show results like a forum" and then "save changes"?

You may have fallen out of "standard" viewing mode. Try this:

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.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      I know it's really hard to be gluten free. When I first started out, IT WAS SO HARD. I eventually had to start telling myself that I was "allergic". Even though I'm not, gluten affects my body negatively. If you're allergic, you stay completely away. I always have my "safe" foods. Options that I always know where I can eat or what I can make that are...

      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...

      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

Even though I'm not, gluten affects my body negatively. If you're allergic, you stay completely away. I always have my "safe" foods. Options that I always know where I can eat or what I can make that are easy and delicious. If I don't plan ahead, that's when I'm super tempted to go off track. Texas roadhouse rolls used to ALWAYS make me chance it and then they would make me so sick. I eventually had to tell myself, you are allergic. That is something you cannot have. It really helped me. I hope this helps! Have you ever tried baking with almond flour? It may take some trial and error but I've had some great muffins and banana bread from almond flour that may help with your blood sugar.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      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

      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.
