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).

      Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1

      By trents · Posted

      You are welcome! We frequently get similar comments. Knowledge about celiac disease in the medical community at large is, unfortunately, still significantly lacking. Sometimes docs give what are obviously bum steers or just fail to give any steering at all and leave their patients just hanging out there on a limb. GI docs seem to have better knowledge but typically fail to be helpful when it comes to things like assisting their patients in grasping how to get started on gluten free eating. The other thing that, to me at least, seems to be coming to the forefront are the "tweener" cases where someone seems to be on the cusp of developing celiac disease but kind of crossing back and forth over that line. Their testing is inconsistent and inconclusive and their symptoms may come and go. We like to think in definite categorical terms but real life isn't always that way.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      Hey @Morgan Tiernan, Sounds just like my experience. I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis over 10 years ago. It appeared suddenly as a very itchy rash which looked like Eczema. When a steroid cream didn't clear it up, my Dermatologist (who had come across it before) suspected dermatitis herpetiformis and performed a skin biopsy which came back positive for dermatitis herpetiformis. The important thing is to get a definitive diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis. What you've described sounds like classic dermatitis herpetiformis though. Hopefully, your Dermatologist has come across dermatitis herpetiformis before and performs the skin biopsy correctly as trents mentioned. I've had the blisters on the knees, hips, forearms/elbows or anywhere that pressure is applied to the skin ... from clothing or otherwise. They itch like nothing on earth, and yes salt from sweat or soaps/shower gels will irritate a lot. I've been on Dapsone and it is very very effective at eliminating the dermatitis herpetiformis itch, and improved my quality of life in the early stages of getting on top of dermatitis herpetiformis while I adjusted to the gluten-free diet. But it does have various side effects as trents said. It can effect the red blood cells, lowering hemoglobin and can cause anemia, and requires regular blood monitoring whilst on it. You would need to consider it carefully with your Dermatologist if you do have dermatitis herpetiformis. Here's a very informative webinar from Coeliac Canada discussing everything dermatitis herpetiformis related.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAdmsNiyfOw I've also found this recent interview with a Dermatologist about dermatitis herpetiformis to be educational.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZnLeKutgUY Keep the chin up and keep advocating for yourself for a proper diagnosis. Though it sounds like you're on top of that already. Are you in the UK or Ireland? I'm curious because your surname is Irish.

      I would go for four weeks to ensure a valid test, if you can tolerate it, that is.
