We recently upgraded the board so please let me know if you have any issues.

PS: I do know about the general formatting issues that I need to work out.

Take care,

Scott

It looks nice and seems to work pretty well. One thing I noticed is that "about me" on our profiles isn't on the main profile page any more. You have to click a tab to see it. I'm not sure it's going to be as intuitive for new users, a lot of whom have to be directed to profiles in the first place. A lot of us have our stories and some hopefully useful info there for people with similar health problems. Is there any way to put our "about me" stories back on the page you see when you click someone's name rather than off on a tab?

Thanks, and you're da bomb for keeping this board going!

The size of the NO AVATAR avatar is now larger than Rhode Island and Delaware. :rolleyes:

It looks like the Ghost of Boards Past is now staring out from some youtube posted next to each comment.

"hey look, here's another one of those old cranks who won't post a picture !"

I'd love to see a place under the avatar for a person's location to be listed (optional, not required) and no more than a couple of lines. It was there when I first joined but I know it got out of hand with a zillion lines shown for some members.

I agree. The giant green No Avatar is a little distracting.

It looks like a TV in need of replacing!

I believe it has been done to strongly encourage all to have some sort of picture. I like to change my Av often. Much as some change their hair style or color. Because I would not look good as a blonde and am too old to have pink or green hair, I change my av to fill that deep need inside me.

Personally I like the Mushroom House...it's just too cute! Pick out an image you like, email it to me and I'll resize it for you. :D

ETA: Or send me the link to the image...

It was probably file size, not picture size. you may need to compress the picture as, depending on what's in the picture, they may max out the file size while still being within the pixel size. (perhaps scott could adjust the file size limit a bit? it shouldn't need a big change)

Plus, I had finally gotten around to posting a picture awhile ago, and now it's gone and I have to go through that all again. Maybe that big ugly NO Avatar sign will speed up the process this time.

I fixed the size of the "No Avatar" image so that it isn't so big. I'll see what I can do about the "About Me" tab, and the location below the avatar.

Take care,

Scott

Scott, I am finding quite often (two or three times today) that when I check new content I am taken to the last post in the thread, often skipping over several new posts that are also unread and posted since I last checked. This seems to happen on a new page flipover.

Shroomie! What bee-u-ti-ful mushrooms!

Also, I have had that same problem but thought it might just be Maxi ( my iPad).

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
