  1. No way! Your account, posts etc will all remain the way they are.
  2. Small screen ? Can you please explain what you're referring to a little better please ? When I log in everything seems pretty normal to me.
  3. LapBandTalk.com will be migrating it’s service to a new infrastructure over the weekend. Lately, LapBandTalk.com has experienced a large increase in traffic. We’ve optimized the current servers to run as good as they’re capable of, yet the constant increase in traffic requires us to upgrade to our new infrastructure. The new environment will allow us to grow with our traffic. Instantly. We have spent many weeks designing and testing the new infrastructure and are confident that your experience will be more consistent, and greatly improved. We will begin the transition this Sunday at 12:00AM EST, at which time LapBandTalk.com will become unavailable. The entire migration should take between 4 and 6 hours, and will be fully operational on its return. Once the move has been completed, we are going to activate an e-mail address for bug reports. Should you notice any issues with site loading, posting, uploading, chat, etc. we urge you to report the issue to bugs@lapbandtalk.com with full details on the issue, as well as a URL if available. Supporting Each Other, The LapBandTalk Team

  9. I've removed it..... Thank you to 375 members that left some very useful feedback!
  10. We've purchased new and additional equipment many times over the last few years but we can never seem to outpace the popularity of the site and every once in a while we run into similar issues like what's been going on this past week. Instead of putting a band-aid on the problem we've been working very hard to plan a permanent solution that will address these annoying problems and allow us to scale based on our real time needs. I'm hoping to move the entire site to this new solution by this Wednesday or Thursday. Stay tuned for further updates. We really appreciate your patience and NO you haven't been banned!!!
  11. I fixed that for you.
  12. Are you currently having site issues ?
  13. We have issues every once in a while and I haven't had time to implement a permanent long term solution that would eradicate the site issues. I'm testing out a solution over the next 2-3 days and I'm hoping it'll be the answer to all of our problems.....stay tuned.
  14. I logged in as you and couldn't replicate your issue. I've never had a member complain about all their subscriptions being deleted, I have no idea what to tell you.
  15. Looking into this now.

  19. This issue has been resolved.
  20. That's fine. Our policy is 1 username per member. So I had to merge ElaineC (and then delete) into LaneyC.
  21. What was your previous username please ? If any members have a similar issue, just use this link to contact us.
  22. Try uploading one at a time and see if that helds please. If your pics are very large this can happen.
