So, this not-loading-the-pages seems to have been fixed but I have a brand new problem. I can't put an empty line between text passages for better readability. I can see it while typing it but it's coming out in the way you can see it here in this post.

Why do all the posts i read look gray except for the first word? I tried to change it in the settings but can't tell how. HELP! Its killing my eyes

Can someone please help me delete a post? Thanks!

I LOVE THIS SITE!!!!!!! :D

I like protein.

For some reason my location is being displayed as Alabama. I have no idea why as I live in Delaware? I edited my profile but it doesn't change when it is displayed even though it is correct in my profile. Can someone help me correct this? thanks.

Chart display of past weight doesn't handle the goal weight correctly. It seems to assign it to a much earlier date. This makes the resulting chart too wide to be of any use. And if you remove it then the chart is too tall to be of much use

I use to be able to add friends on the old system. Now I have no idea where to go to add a friend. Any step by step directions would be helpful. Thanks

Since the update I can't edit my stats i.e. surgery date, weight loss etc. Any help would be appreciated!

When I'm browsing a thread that has more than one page and I change to e. g. the second or third page the page is not loading. At the bottom of the page is written "loading" but nothing happens. I have to refresh the tab so the page loads.

Hi, I have been trying to update my surgery profile for 2 days. I have filled out some new information about my surgeon, and every time I have hit "submit", I am taken to a page that says something like "this page does not exist". I would really like to update my page, so I'm hoping you can help. Many thanks, Cassie

How do you add pictures from the app? I tried doing it and for some reason when I do it it won't let me. Is there something I am missing? I use the attachment icon but it won't let me.

OK, I must be getting older and becoming a luddite because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change my Before/After pictures. Can someone clue me in please?

How do I do a status update? I tried searching but it just came up with an unanswered post. Thank you!

Maybe it's just me... but with the update, I can't seem to find the option to hide the city part of the location. Previously in my public profile and mini profile it only showed my state, which I preferred. Now it shows my city as well?

Every time I put my Surgeon in there and hit save. It is there, then I click to another page and come back and its gone. It doesn't save it. I'm using my computer and I've tried multiple times what's up is it broken?

Hi there, I can't read my messages. I can see a list of them. I can see a got a new one yesterday but I cannot see content. It just says I read it a minute ago. I am on a laptop running Windows 7. On Samsung/Android phone the messages won't even load. Just have a spinning circle loading.

The info on the person posting is gone. Just the join date shows?

In my forum posts, under 'rank' it says Surgery 8/31/05. Is that changeable? What are the rankings and how are they determined? The '05 surgery was my LapBand; my current surgery is RNY, so it seems weird to have my old surgery date as my rank. Is it changeable somewhere?

Just a test here. Line Line extra Line extra extra

We need to bring back the ability to have a signature! I like having it so I don't have to explain everything, my surgery, starting weight, current weight ect... apparently the update wiped out that ability.

I have been away for awhile due to remodeling and a move and I just noticed the update to the site today. I went to enter my new weight and look at my "chart view" but it is showing starting at the date of 1970 and not from the date I had used for my starting weight. It's pretty weird. Anyway, thought I would post it here since it was not like this before the update and also it's kind of hard to read the chart now lol.

I can get the forum on my desktop but if I try to access it from the app, it wants me to reset my password. If I reset my password on the desktop, it still won't let me log me into the iPhone app.

Hey Alex, how do I include pics to my posts?

it appears as though the messages have been changed to not show any previous messages, so we are blindly answering what we don't know we're being asked. Or is the option hiding somewhere?

Sorry, didn't have time to search through all of the topics. But my BMI ticker shows my weight and I can't seem to change it

Just joined the group. Was curious about posting. Is it ok to put the same post under different forums or should you just post one time. I'm just afraid if i only post in one place it won't be seen by very many people unless they go into that particular forum.

I'm new and trying to fill out my full profile and the information I input isn't saving.

This isn't really a new topic, but I need assistance anyway. I have tried for 15 minutes to find out how to update my profile, and I need to make some changes. (how they have my Dr. listed as being from Baltimore, MD I have NO idea). Any help would be really appreciated. Hope everyone is doing well and having success!

Ya'll going to put the status updates back on the main page like before or will we need to go to each individual follower to see what they've posted, if any? I've noticed many don't post statuses anymore. Posters tend to post their quick statuses as a thread instead.

For example see here. [/img]https://imgur.com/Gei6EBb Sent from my LGLS992 using the BariatricPal App

LBT members now have the ability to change their LBT username. - Click "User CP" - Click "Edit Email, Password & Username" - Enter your new username right below "Change Username (Optional)"

Instead of letting me read the original's poster thread. It has been doing this about a week now. I keep hearing about updating but i'm on an android and i have checked the play store and there is no updates available. Am i missing something. The web site is also lagging on loading pictures or it will post the same thread repeatedly. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

When I went into notifications to check them after the update, I saw that I could not completely opt out of emails. I don't want a weekly email. I don't want any email. If I want to see what's happening here, I'll come by and look, but I don't want emails. Also, I want to be able to change or remove my email address and can't find how I would do that because if you aren't going to stop emailing me, I'll just set up a spam email address I never use so you can send the email there. Thanks.

For about a week I've suddenly started getting emailed notifications for posts and topics I'm following. I've never had emails for these before. I can't figure out how to turn them off with the iPhone app. Help!

Hi there, I have all notifications turned off as I don't enjoy being flooded with email notifications every time someone posts something. All of a sudden I am getting swamped with them even though I checked my settings and they are still turned off..... ?? Please fix as soon as you can. Thanks Heather

When I click on "Create+" and select "Ticker" I get "Page Not Found" with the error code: Error code: 2S106/1 thank you

I don't like that the number of views each article has received has been removed. I have noticed that the article views have gone down substantially. Now I don't even see them listed at all. As a contributing writer, I want to know how many people are reading my articles.

I'm sorry, but I noticed that the Emotional Health and wellness sub-forum in the General WLS Forum is missing from the drop down list up top and can only be accessed through already posted messages or the main page. Is this intentional or is it an oversight, as I didn't see it in the list before the site update as well?

After the update/system maintenance last night, all my topics I follow are gone. Anyone else having this issue? I had several threads I liked to read updates on and now I cant find them including my own threads I started.

I am using an IPAD. For the life of me, I can't find a delete button after I've read my notification? I don't like clutter so it's driving me crazy, help!

Error code on pics

I miss the shading on quoted posts from others. It was easy to find the new post, and not re-read the old ones over and over.

Today is the first time in at least a week since I've logged on. I always go to the "Notifications" icon to check the newest items. Today, the icon indicated there were 30 notifications, however, when I clicked on the icon, a popup said there weren't any notifications. Since it's been several days since I last logged on, I know that is not the case. Do I need to change something in my settings to make this icon functional again? Thanks!

I am trying to read and reply to people post,but it is hard to understand with the bariatric pal inserts. Damn! I am just getting into the app. Please fix!!!!!! Sent from my SM-T113 using the BariatricPal App

I miss the "Back To Top" button Or else I'm blind.......

Is there a list where we can view what exactly was updated and what new functions are available now? (I guess the boards migrated on 01/02/2017?)

I can't comment, create topics or send messages with my IPhone app

I can see a number in the red box but the notifications will not open. Any ideas how to correct this ?

Hi, I saw the Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual Health and Wellness forum but didn't know if it would be a place to discuss attitudes you see on the boards, and what to look about/read before posting to a board. Still haven't seen a forum that works as good as BP. I've seen one that comes close but it is limited. Vic
