I don't know Carrie, I right clicked on the picture and it said several options but one was set as desktop background? I am just lost on it.

Right click on the picture icon (in the window/file) and scroll down until it says copy, click on copy, close (X) the window you are in and then right click anywhere on your desktop, and scroll down until you see paste. This should work :) but let me know if there are any problems

Hi - Im trying to change my avitar pic -

It tells me it uploaded my new pic, but now shows my old pic still but with the dimensions of the new pic (my old pic is now stretched wider...), but it doesn't show the new pic...

Is a moderator reviewing the new pic...and in the meantime I now look fat? ;-)

I think this is happening, because the last time I tried to change it, it didn't change right away...but said it did...when I came back on, it had changed!

It's very confusing....perhaps the admin can add info to the avitar change section to tell members what to expect?

No, theres no issue, its your broswer at fualt. I see this alot on my board. After you change your avatar, hold down SHIFT then refresh the page. It should update right then.

I see your new one. and you are not even near fat...that should not be in your vocabulary.

They usually change immediately. Mine changed immediately when I did. You may want to hit refresh on your comp though.

Kaiti the FAT look she sees is cause the she sitll sees the OLD image, but with the NEW images dimensoins... so its STRETCHED out. This is a very comon problem with IPB software. It is easly fixed with the refresh method I mentioned.

Is it because I was away I can't see the display of my avatar or is it because I'm in an internet cafe?

I see most of yours today but didn't see any when I was last in?

Do any avatars get used twice concurrently?

Does one have to have one?

Can one search on avatars or no avatar?

Best wishes

I can't see your avatar either.

The site was updted and since then some of the avatars can't be seen.

You do not have to have one.

I'm pretty sure it is because you are on a different computer. I didn't see mine when I logged in from my Dad's computer.

I see an avatar of a stick figure man holding a hammer--in gray w/ a white background. Oh, and the guy's torso is covered in gray spots--kinda like chicken pox, lol.

Technically, no, you can't have 2 at once, but with some people, it may take awhile for your new one to show up, in which case people could be seeing older versions of your avatar for some time.

You do not need to have an avatar.

Not really sure what you mean about the last question. You can search for avatars, you can choose not to have an avatar, etc.

Yep, I see one now too...did you just get a new one?

:lol:

Yes, I figured as someone else now uses "my old" one maybe I should get a new one?

I'm not sure whether I identify very strongly with the grey, spotty "hammer man" though ...

Shall I "get rid of" the silly grey hammer man?

Can several people use the same avatar concurrently?

Yes, I believe more than 1 person can have the same one

Of course! It's just that you see that mainly with avatars from the gallery--the chances of someone else deciding to use your hammer man are very slim, but it would be allowed and possible.

Just had another look... maybe it is someone or something hammering him down...

Could be, but I still think that he's holding the hammer, but the stick figure wasn't very carefully drawn, so they look separated. Unless the hammer is falling from the sky...? :D

So I tried to change my avatar, and put up a pic of me and my bf and all it did was squish the one I had and make it look weird.

What gives?

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
