Website Assistance & Suggestions

On my profile page there is this: Nicole1 is planing to have a LAP-BAND Surgery on 6 December 2012. Emma Patterson Oregon Weight Loss Surgery, LLC 2233 - F Willamette Street Eugene OR 97210 .......and also a picture of a little boy. I have no idea who these people are or how they got on my profile. Has my account been hacked? What happened? I see no way for me to delete this bizarre info. Can one of the admins handle it?

Is there a way to go into the specific surgery type and then search for new content?

Alex, I have a suggestion for the veterans forum that I think will both increase the traffic there, as well as cut down on non veteran related threads. I think the "6 months/100 posts" rule doesn't quite cover things. I propose a 1 year post op OR being within 15 pounds of goal to qualify....and by qualify I mean to start a new thread there. I also feel that responding to threads should be opened up to all post ops provided they are answering the OP and not just throwing in their own off topic question. I feel that many people who are no where near goal may still have something to offer in some of those threads. After all many of them deal with real life beyond…

Ok...here's a new one. When I post to threads it doesn't automatically subscribe me to the thread like it used to. But even worse, if I do subscribe to a thread, then respond to it again....it unsubscribes me. That's aggravating.

Apple had to switch out my phone this week. Everything is up and running but I can't get signed on to rnytalkon my phone because I can't figure out my password and haven't found a place to go for password help....so,HELP!!!! I'll be at work all day tomorrow and unable to post! The horror!!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 204.6

Ok so i figured out how to retrieve my password. But on some of the threads it isnt letting ne get to the recent pages of them. If it has 25 pgs i can get to page 8 then after that it say page doesnt exist. Anyone else having this problem.

Well first I could not start a new thread or respond. I'm on the mobile iPad app Nd those options just weren't in the drop down menu. So I closed the app and reopened and they were there...e.then they left again.....then came back. So I went to the main website but there is only lapband forums there.....I can't see anything else. I clicked on the "if you're experiencing technical issues" thing.....and it wouldn't let me send anything. LOL. It said I needed to fill in the detailed description of my problem. I had...still wouldn't send it. That's something I think needs to work today. You need that right? I guess for now I can post. I hope it stays that way. …

Is it me or anyone else having technical issues with the new forums. I wish the old rny talk would be use instead

With the new app on my iPhone, I have not been able to respond or start new thread.

I couldn't log in and had to create a new account. Does anyone know how to retrieve passwords?

In the new iPhone/iPad apps, I get an error when I try to go past page 1. I know you guys probably know and I'm happy to be patient. Just wanted to post in case you didn't know. Thanks for keeping all the subscribed thread info!

Can you get my name back? I haven't been daisylou for a really long time. I can't get into my group the eating the 5:2 way, Can you fix these things?

Is it just me or is the colors on this forum putting you to sleep. It makes me feel like blah blah blah................... They need to change these colors because IMHO they do not make a person want to stay on here for very long.

At people now being able to post in a CLOSED GROUP! Why are random people able to post on my 5:2 group? We closed it for a reason..

Dear Member, Exciting new changes are coming to RNYTalk.com! In a few days, RNYTalk.com and the other Weight Loss Surgery Boards (WLSBoards) will join together and transition to BariatricPal.com! We’re excited to be leading the movement to support weight loss and health for all members of the weight loss surgery community! WLSBoards is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, and we are planning to make the next ten years even better. That’s why we’re combining the WLSBoards into a single, more powerful force. Each of us may choose different types of weight loss surgery as our own tools for weight loss, but ultimately, we all have the common goal of fighting obesity. Bari…

I notice that many members display their surgeon's name on their posts, on the left hand side, with the heading "My Surgeon." How do I get that to display instead of just "see patient profile"? Thanks!

Finally figured out how to add a pic, but it is upside down! Anyone know what I did wrong?

How do I remove threads from current participated page? I have 39 there that I have participated on, though several are old/outdated and no longer being used... Would make it easier if I could edit the list so only the threads I want to more actively follow show up...

can you update your weight from the phone app?

We could use a little more variety

Is the blog going to be up and running today? I really enjoy the blogging part of this forum. It let's me (think) and get my thoughts out ..So can you give me an idea of when it will be up and when I will be able to use it again?

I am using the iPad app and been through the settings and can't find where to shut them off? I do not want a email message every time someone responds to one of my posts. Any help is much appreciated!

When I go to my profile it only shows 12 friends. It has always shown 12 friends once I got at least 12. I look at other peoples profiles and they show no more than 12 friends also. I know some of these people have way more than 12 friends on here. Is it some limitation that only I see or does this happen for other people too? Why don't all of the friends show up? Thanks, M1AMAN

My dear Alex, I know you are working hard to improve LBT but...... I NEED BLOGS!!! I want to blog soooo bad I can taste it. want to read CG's and Missy's blogs, they get me through the day. I really miss the blogs!!!! You don't realize how good something is until it's gone....... please hurry up and bring back the blogs!

I just figured out how to add a profile pic but everytime I login to the ap... it's gone? An I found something wrong? New me on the way

Tying to add a ticket with a weight chart... Let's see how this works! <_UIFontExtraData: 0x157d0760>

It would be nice if there was a place that we can post photos without all the chatter in between. Some place where others can see our timeline in pictures. Is that possible?

Title says it all...Just missing the ability to read and post blogs.

Hello, I am unsure if this has been reported but the chat room and individual chat functions have not be working properly for a few days. Seeing chats is requiring a full refresh of the browser no matter if Firefox or IE. Active notification of new chat messages are not working.

I am on a I phone and don't seem to have some of the features of others do I have to be on the full site to do my profile and see others ticker or am I just missing something?

Cursor won't move to create paragraphs, etc. , Bold stays on BOLD , Italic doesn't return to normal , Underline won't stop underlining , Strike Through won't stop striking through , Bullets won't bullet , Color won't colorize , WHY??? , I rebooted, I deleted cookies and something with the cache. Please, oh please help me.

Is there a way to be notified when a friend starts a topic? I keep missing topics in the forums that my friends post. They are my "friend" for a reason and it makes it hard to keep up with them. I know I can go to their indivual profiles and see what they are doing...but I looked around the forum stuff and can't seem to find an easier way to see my specific friend topics... Am I missing something?

HELP! This is annoying enough to keep me away and I don't want to be away! When I go to post a message, the underline function will not go away, though it seems so here. lol. I underlined a post once and it will not go away. I have clicked the icon softly, slowly, repeatedly, patiently and ferociously, you name it but it still underlines! * Also, my "enter" button will not let me start new paragraphs. My post's look like long, run on sentences. * I had different issues, when I was on LBT, but someone helped me fix it. Otherwise, my toolbars, keys, etc. work just fine on any other site. * Can someone help me? I have some serious, and not so serious post's to make!

I just downloaded the forum app for my iphone, but I can't log in. I use my facebook as my sign in info on the pc, and linked my app with my fb. I tried signing out on here and logging in with my user name and the password I set up, to no avail. Any advice??

Hello, Ken S. Do you know if the new website overhaul will allow us to add increments to our height and weight on our tickers to make them more accurate? For example, I would love to be able to enter a height of 5'2 1/2" or, even better, 5'2 3/4" to get the most accurate BMI calculations, and weights in either .5 lb. or .2 lb. increments. If not, no big deal. Just curious! Thanks!

Is there a way to post pics to a gallery and not have it show up on the recent pics section of the home page? Not a big deal really but there are pics I would like to post that are not front page worthy. thanks!

My ticker says reached goal weight on 9/17/13 or what ever the date is when I change how much I've lost. I reached my goal weight a few months ago and I'm now 19 pounds below that. How do I make it stop saying reached goal weight than the wrong date?

I subscribed to the Sleeve site because I was torn between the Sleeve and RNY. Now I was denied access to the RNY FORUMS. I would prefer RNY so how can I now delete the registration for Sleeve?

There is a status sentence that appears at the end each time I post a comment. I tried to remove it but I have no clue. You will see it under this request. Every time I post something I have to come back for editing and deleting. It is not in my signature settings. How do I remove it. Thank you. [Don't let your emotions make you their b***h]

They work on the main site.....but not on on the mobile apps. I have iPhone, iPad and an android device and they are all doing the same thing. After 2 or 3 PMs, I can't access the conversation anymore.

Would a duodenal switch sub forum be possible? Since VSG as a stand alone is DS's cousin.

Since Sunday, now each and every page here loads then I get a warning message, unresponsive script. I click on stop script and it works fine. It is very annoying though. I am using firefox on a mac... Was there some programing changes here? Is anyone else getting the same problem?

Hi there, is it possible to disable blog sharing -- those FB etc. buttons at the bottom of blogs make me nervous about creating my own blog. I'd rather have it private within the LapBand Talk community....thoughts? Thanks so much!

I would like to post before and after photos and wondered if there was a free, user-friendly photo editor that anyone can recommend.

Can someone give me a step by step instruction on how to post photos....I would appreciate it a lot!

How to you follow all the status updates? I know how to follow it except for when Alex does the birthday wishes. Say I put a new status update on and then Alex comes in and does the birthday wishes and then someone comments on my status how do I find my status to check on the comment, without having to go through all the birthday wishes. Is it possible to do? ~~~Stephanie

I have the app for my iPhone, but when I use it and try to use the chat room, the LapBand Talk chat room comes up.
