Why does it keep popping up? I have tried to hide it, leave it and nope still there. Help!

Every time I try to update my tickers or read my messages I get a page that says it is a driver error. What can I do to stop this? Thanks

I have noticed in the specialty groups like "Life at of near goal" the posts are long and skinny. Is this some kind of technical glitch or is it on purpose? It's hard to read.

I set them and click Save but the change never commits. Anyone else get this?

Test for Ken.

So I have been trying to get into the Chat portion of this site and either I dont know how to use it or no one is EVER on that thing? Can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong? I just click on chat and wait for it to load and it comes up and theres never been a person on there before.

OK, I had a technical problem last month that was corrected by an administrator (?)...and it was taken care of by pressing one button! Phew. Now, I have a new problem, this time with the format of the LBT website itself. There is a long rectangle covering the top of the page, the "...photos, forums, magazine, etc." list is covered, I cannot find the "newest post's" link, I can't access my messages sometimes, if I can, the messenger's photo and info is gone. I wrote to the "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page, but have heard nothing. I seriously rely on LBT and the wonderful people on here to live a sane banded life. PLEASE help me figure out what is messing up all…

Hi! I am unable to reply to any posts using the App. I've un-installed and reinstalled twice and that didn't help at all. I checked and I believe I have the most updated version too. Here is the error I receive when I hit to submit the reply: Error The remote server sent an unknown response. This could be a result of the forum software plugin being outdated or having a conflict. thank you in advance for your help!

I am meeting with my surgeon oct 5 and am nervous and frustrated with the long process of approval is anyone going thru the same thing. Also I went to a support group and was the youngest one there I felt weird

To the people using it, although pretty, it's VERY hard to read!

I don't get it - I have administrated on other boards before and I'm not totally new to all of this, but I cannot get my darn tickers to behave. I made a new one and it shows at least 3 times in my signature. Old ones that I have deleted show as "X"s with an empty box. How do I get rid of all that stuff and make it so they work for me? Is there some secret? THANK YOU.

am I the only one having trouble keeping the iPad ap healthy? I have had to reload every few days. Any suggestions?

Hello Bandsters! I've been to the chat room on many occasions and have found nobody there, or at least nobody talking anyway. I go all throught out the day into the night EST. Are there people who use the chat rooms at specific times to gather that I can infiltrate? :ph34r:... I promise to be on my best behaviour!

I accidentally changed my theme to the web version in my Samsung Galaxy 3. I cant find where to change it back and this web version is horrible. I have the app but i hste using it as well. I just want to go back to viewing in the mibile version. Any help woukd be so appreciated.

I am new on here. I was just APPROVED yesterday and I'm so excited. My sleeve date is Oct. 25...

I'm still having all kinds of issues with the app. When it first started screwing up last week, it highlighted all of the threads I've participated in whether or not there were new comments. Now, it won't follow any threads I comment on or threads I start. On my profile, I can only see my comments through July 19, even if I refresh or click "load more results." It was fine when I first downloaded and one day last week it just quit working right. Muy bizarro.

Was trying to fill out my profile info and found Dr. Jaime Ponce De Leon in TJ MX is not listed. There is a Guillermo Ponce de Leon, and a Jaime Ponce but these are not him Thank you.

I've just recently noticed that the text "0 warning points" is displayed underneath my profile picture. I don't know where this came from, why it is there, and I can't find where I can get rid of it. I don't see anything like this on anyone else's picture. Can someone tell me what this is? Thanks!

Ow do I gain access to a special interest forum requesting a password? I am unclear on how to ask for admittance to forum ?

Hi, I need to know how to load pictures within my posts, and also how to add my info on my profile. The before and after pic and doc info?

HELP! My message screen is faded and the "buttons" don't work. i.e FONT, BOLD, EMOTICONS, etc. The whole thing is faded so I can barely see it.

What do the little dots under people's Images mean? Some have 3, some have more. What gives?

I got a post into my blog yesterday and I went and checked it and see that someone posted to it (there was no notification to me) and I saw she posted the same thing 5 times. I deleted the duplicate posts and responded to her post and when I did it just disappeared like I didn't write anything. Suspecting that it was there and I just could not see it. I went out and back in and it was there. My guess is she pasted hers in many times because she thought that it was not taking it. I also tried to click on the link to my blog from the main page and got an error message but when going to "all blogs" I was able to get into it. Just keeping you posted.

When I opened my iPad app this morning it falsely showed all my subscribed threads had new content. Also, untill today any time I posted in a topic it would automatically show in subscribed threads also. It no longer does this. Was there some type of update to the app that caused this. Is this by design?

Is there any way I can search for a friend I accidentally erased?

Is there a way to change my ticker or sig pic from my iPad app? I hate turning on my laptop these days, the iPad app works so well.

Originally made my account on my ipad. I downloaded the app on my iphone and tried to log in but it keeps saying wrong username/password. I cannot for the life of me figure out what my password is and cannot seem to find a way to get it on the site? Any help?

Please help, I cant get to my settings page.

I cannot view/change/delete my current signature under settings. When I click on "signature" it shows my surgery ticker but not the quote that shows up every time I post. Please help! I'm ready to change it but I can't find it! Thank you

I use the Android app and can't figure out how to add a profile picture. Anyone know how?

Hi everyone last time I was here, I had my surgery date set for July 17th, but with my crazy schedule I couldn't fit in that time. So my new surgery date is finally set for August 6th, I'm so excited, but also SO NERVOUS...

I can't seem to change my blog from VST mobile to the web interface. I'm on my desktop, and I've clicked (numerous times) on "Change Theme" and changed from VST mobile to VST Web, and hit "Go" as instructed. Still my blog is displayed in VST mobile, meaning that all the emoticons are turned into text (ugly) and some of the features are disabled. Help? CE

I tried to go into a couple of the special interest forums and it told me that I needed a password and to contact the administrator.......I'm confused. Any suggestions?

Hi guys. Is there a way to remove my email address so I don't keep getting lots of emails any time someone replies to my post? Only because I stupidly used my school email, and I don't want the world knowing I'm looking into bypass

What is that little black, diagonal thing under some of the forum topic titles? I'm stumped. Silly me!

Has everyone noticed how many members we have now? Over 1100! It's down near the bottom of the page on the right hand side. I've watched that number go up almost every day! Cool!

I am unable to access the "My Settings" from the drop-down menu in the top right corner. The wheels just keep spinning on my browser but nothing ever comes up I believe that is the menu I need to access in order to change my notification preferences, correct? Is there another shortcut to this menu? (I'm trying to change the email notifications settings, btw.)

I think it would be WONDERFUL to integrate a VST Messenger! Like how facebook has theirs integrated right into the webpage! It would be so nice to use that to chat with friends on here because nobody hardly uses the chat room! Well, their is my suggestion! Use it PLEASE! Johnathan

Any helpful tips on navigating this app would be gratefully appreciated, as I don't feel like I'm utilizing all the benefits available.

For the past 3 days, when I click View New Content, it results in New Content Not Found. I know people are posting. Is this feature now down? Will it be coming back? Seems like a hassle to go through each subforum looking for new content.

Can you please update so there is a way to do status updates? I'd also like to be able to add friends from my mobile devices.

HOw can I delete a profile and post!

i started a topic under general lap band support...about good and bad surprizes with the lap band..how can i pin it so it can be found easy and not drop off as more topics come

Across the top, I see bold, Italics, Underline, etc. All other message boards have an ABC or something to indicate a spell check. I thought I remembered Alex saying there was a spell check. I am not seeing it. Are there different versions here depending on which browser you use?

Hey there! I think it would be a GREAT idea if LBT offered a quick, easy link that converted kilograms to pounds, vice versa. I come across many people who don't measure weight the way I do, and I have to keep leaving the site to google "kilograms to pounds". I can't be the only one. Can you add a link?

How do I get added to a forum??

Am 2years post op and I am also not at my goil weight. I am 8lbs away

Can someone tell me how to upload my pic for my profile and also before and after pics! Thanks LegendQueenT

Canot figure out how to fill out my profile. Any suggestions, anyone ?
