  1. Another possibility.....your computer or browser is infected with a virus or adware. Have you scanned it lately ?
  2. Any idea which ad is causing this ? Have you seen this behavior on any other sites ? Scratching my head at the moment.
  3. Not sure what you're referring to. Are you able to send a screenshot ? Which ad and ad location ?
  4. The app has been fixed and is available as an update in the App store.
  5. I couldn't have said it any better. Congrats to CG!!!!!!!!! What an awesome wls success story. :)
  6. We're going to look in to this issue asap. Thanks for reporting it!
  7. The mobile app has been updated and all current bugs have been fixed.
  8. This topic most definitely belongs in this forum. Let us (Admin & Moderators) judge if a topic is appropriate. If you have an issue with any topic, please use the REPORT button. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
  9. You clicked the unsubscribe link at exactly 2013/02/08 12:23:16 . I removed your email from that list and you should start receiving emails again shortly.
  10. We have pretty clear forum rules/terms of service posted. All members agree to these terms upon signup. Over the last few months I've taken a very laissez faire approach and was hoping that members could police themselves. Moving forward, I plan on personally dealing with any members that aren't abiding by the posted rules. I don't mind warring camps. We have a two party system here in the US. It's ok to have a different opinion. I have no plans on "deputizing" any group or members. We're heading in quite the opposite direction. I'm debating a dictatorship I definitely would like to form a welcoming committee. We could also use a stop shouting in your title and stop typing as if you're texting committees as well. All kidding aside, I'd love to hear suggestions on (real) committees, besides a welcome committee. Just to reiterate what I mentioned above, we have no plans on "deputizing" any members or group of members. Should I stay or should I go now?....If I go there will be trouble..... If you're not happy about something, you can let me know. We definitely plan on moving ahead (technologically) but have no plans on turning LBT into a police state.
  11. Only the topic starter will be allowed to mark a post as the best answer. That response will be highlighted and marked as best answer and a little preview of the answer will show up at the top of the post with a button to jump to that response. The order of the responses will not change based on this. I was mistaken when I stated the best answer would appear before the other responses. We're not sure if we're going to enable this in all forums or only specific ones. We can give it a shot and see if it works out for us or not.
  12. Great suggestion! We're already working on something close to this idea. I'll update you guys and gals as soon as it's closer to being launched.
  13. I'm sorry but *ANY* form of advertising by our members is against our posted terms of service. Regardless if you're receiving commission from the surgeon or not - no exceptions. Posting something like this is considered advertising: I went to Dr. xxxxx-xxxxxx in Tijuana Mexico...total price with flight $xxxx. I now work for him if you need more information you can call or email me at info@xxxxxxxxx.com or call xxx-xxx*xxx.
  14. We're not going to release a "dislike" button. We have enough politics on here as is already!!! We are definitely going to release a feature in the next few weeks (once our new site is launched) that allows members who posted a question to vote a members response up or down.....and the most voted response will rise to the top etc.
  15. It's actually your 2nd post! Sounds like you're getting a very very good and reasonable deal from your surgeon if you don't have insurance coverage. Don't feel bad at all about hoping your insurance provides coverage! Keep us updated.
  16. Great question! You obviously qualify because you're able to post in here . Here's what I posted for the forum's description: This forum is dedicated to veteran Gastric Bypass patients who are six or more months post-op, to discuss issues specific to those who are further along in their journey. You must have 100 posts in order to post here.
  17. Veteran's, you asked for it, and here it is. A forum for just you!
  18. We're hoping to roll out a new app (and site) within 4-6 weeks. We'll have a lot more flexibility to display member info and pay more attention to features our members are requesting.
  19. You've made some very good points and I believe your entire story. In the future, please don't engage someone else in the above fashion. If you feel a post is against our terms of service, use the REPORT feature and we'll deal with it.
  20. You made some good points, some of which I agree with. The language you used - "This causes me to doubt this story" "If this really happened" "something is not right here" is very uncalled for and goes directly against what I recently posted here. If you believe someone is trolling, please use the REPORT feature.
  21. I've deleted the thread. Posts like that will get a member banned - permanently.
  22. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Lap Band! You're lucky your surgeon was able to convert you immediately to a gastric Sleeve. Many surgeons will wait a few months after a lap band is removed in order to operate again on your stomach by converting to a Sleeve. You saved yourself an additional surgery. You'll find quite a few individuals in a similar situation as you've found yourself at our sister site, VerticalSleeveTalk.com . You can easily log in with your LBT credentials at VST.
  23. And I shall keep responding with the same
  24. This has been addressed quite a few times already Most modern day browsers have spell check baked right in. Which OS and Browser are you using please ?
