Maybe it is the type of file, like jpeg or wks. I use jpeg for all of my saved pics, and they transfer well to my avatar.

Hi, this is driving me nuts. I have a nice avatar, but I wanted to put in a picture of myself. I have it in other forums, and it works fine.

The picture I am trying to use is only 12 kb, and 80 x 97 pixels, well below the limit. Still, every time I try to update it, it will just resize my old avatar to the same size as the one I want, distorting it in the process. I even left the forum after deleting the old one, and went as far as getting off the Internet, before trying to upload it again. And despite the fact that I had DELETED the old picture, it would pop right up again! I am baffled and frustrated!

Please help me with this!

Thanks

Hi Ursula,

I can see a pic of you - try hitting refresh, if that doesn't work, you may need to log out and log back in?

Hugs!

Hi Ursula, I see the picture of you! I had to hit refresh at the top of my screen, you probably need to, too.

You can also clear the cookies set for this board, and then the new pic should show up. I can see it too.

Thank you so much, such an easy fix, and yet so frustrating if you simply don't have a clue you need to do that! And I kept resizing it smaller and smaller, thinking that was the problem. Now I put a better one in, clicked refresh, and there it is. :rolleyes: I learn something new every day!

I have removed my current avatar several times and tried to boot up a new avatar picture and for some reason it keeps adding this one (it just changes the dimensions of the picture). I do not understand why,I have changed my avatar several times, and I can't seem to get rid of this picture. What's going on?

Its a browser cache problem. Change your avater to what you want, and when its all done, hold SHIFT and hit the REFRESH button. You will then see the new avatar.

Just hit "refresh"--your new picture is there!

Leave the site wont do it... well eventually it would, but not in 2 days. :) The only way to force it its hold SHIFT and hit REFRESH (its F5 in IE if I recall right, or just mouse click the icon).

I was going to add a nice picture to distinguish my online appearance a bit from the dull, pictureless tedium of grey/no avatar, and it said:

"Sorry, the board administrator has not enabled your permissions for this part of the control panel."

Am I not special enough yet?

Did you do personal picture? 'cause that is not enabled for anyone, go to "My Controls" then on the side, click on "edit avatar settings" and then you should be able to upload your own picture. Make sure it is compressed and all.

No, when I was trying I got that once, but then was able to. For me it had to do with the size of the pic. The one I ended up posting was cut down. Don't know the solution, but you should be able to post a pic.

Edit: Molly that's exactly what happened and that's the solution! Then I also had to cut it down.

and everyone is special enough, even if you haven't posted, i think you can have an avatar.

I was just wondering how I go about putting a picture or quote or something under my name like I see on so many others?? Thanks :P

Hi Jenny--You can go to "My Controls" and then to "Edit Avatar Settings" on the left. Then just follow the instructions. I think you have to have a certain number of posts to put a quote under your avatar--500, maybe?

Every time I try to download a picture from my computer, I get the error message including something about the picture exceeding the limits for my group. What group am I in and why isn't it re-sizing my picture like it says it will.

I had the same problem, until I resized my picture myself to the required size (I think it was max. 50 kb, and 100 x 100 pixels, but I'm not 100% sure), and then it worked fine.

      For me I gave up oat products and it finally cleared. I had a whole body reaction for months. Two additional culprits for me: shared grill at a restaurant or a shared toaster. Hope you have relief soon.

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long...

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda
