  1. You want an easier way to view a thread on LBT? No problem at all.... In every forum section, there are THREADS. Threads contain the information from the creator. Just click the [ + ] sign, and voila! Clicking the [ + ] will expand the first post of the thread. Enjoy!
  2. This issue should be fixed.
  3. This is a great idea! Send me a PM and I'll have a designer create a few banners.
  4. Send me a PM with your requested change please
  5. I've added this feature again.
  6. Yes, they cover fills. If I'm not mistaken I used to get a referral every few months from my main physician to cover my fills at Dr. Ren. These days my Oxford plan doesn't require referrals and I only have to pay the co-pay.
  7. I had a lower BMI without any health conditions. I had Oxford and used Dr. Ren (dr. Fieldings partner.) They dealt with Oxford and getting approved was a breeze. You shouldn't have a problem. I've sent a few friends to Dr. Ren and all are extremely happy. Good choice!!
  8. I've added a few features that will allow us to combat spam: 1) When users sign up they must enter a "captcha" code that's embedded into an image. This way the spammers can't use bots to sign up for accounts and post to the forums. 2) After a user signs up they must verify that their email is valid by clicking on a link we send in an email right after they sign up. 3) I've deleted 150 user accounts that were signed up by spammers 4) I've added a list of IP addresses from the spammers that signed up with us that will block them from seeing the forum. I'll continue to add their IPs until they give up. 5) We've added a reporting feature that notifies all moderators as soon as it's reported and creates a post in the moderator only section with all the spam details which can be used to combat these bastards I think this should definitely slow down the spam to a trickle and hopefully get rid of it for good.
  9. The "Top 5 Stats" has been moved to the bottom of the home page
  10. Journals are back! :clap2:
  11. Journals are back! :clap2:
  12. Great ideas! I'm going to be working on all of these this week.
  13. This feature was removed because some users weren't receiving the confirmation emails. I've added it again and let's see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion!
  14. Do you guys and gals find the black text better now ?
  15. We're going to put the TOP 5 box back up shortly. We needed to take it down on a temporary basis.
  16. FDA: The Low-Carb Diet Is 'Sheer Nonsense' The Common Voice, SC - Apr 16, 2007 And if those diets don't work for you, then certainly you can always take a risky diet drug like orlistat or even get your insides cut open for LAP-BAND ... More...
  17. How did you "loose" your long post ? PLEASE PM me with details.
  18. A would really have to be how many members would actually pay for a premium membership. B this # keeps growing
  19. Not a bad idea, I'll send you a PM about how to go about this.
  20. What do you guys and gals feel we should ask for membership each month in order to loose the annoying advertisements ?
  21. We're going to have an option for LBT users to select different "skins." Hopefully we'll have enough options so we can make everyone happy. The advertisements on the right have to stay for now but we're looking into options to limit them to a degree for registered members. I've been paying for LBT out of my own pocket the last few years and we've grown quite a bit. All this costs money and I don't want to ever ask any of our users for $$$. Allowing advertisers on the site will allow us to grow and add new and useful features to the site. Over the next few weeks we'll be adding new options and making changes. I hope everyone will be happy when we're done! I'm going to try my hardest to make sure that there's as little downtime on the site as possible.
  22. Patience my dear LBT users We're actively working on the forums. Just keep me updated with any issues you're having.
  23. Testing This Otu For Bugs Lets Hopes Theres None!
