Don't like the new LBT!

So I just signed on to LBT and what do I see big huge Advertisments!

I'm really not liking this new lay out I cant find stuff and it feels as if the ads are the focal point of the site. Is it just my computer that looks like this?

  • I don't like all the ads either but it is a way to pay for the site. I can put up with the ads to keep LBT on the web.

  • The top post on every page has an add in the box that runs into the post - it is soooooo annoying. I can not get chat to load either, had trouble yesterday but cant get in at all today.

I know and it annoys me that I don't have a quick tab that I can just jump to my blog. My blog is my venting place. Not thrilled with this but not much I can do about it.

Edit: Sorry about that, I found my quick tab to my blog~ LOL Still don't like the new lay out though.

You can get rid of most of the ads by going to the bottom of the page, and on the bottom left hand side, in the bar, there is a drop down menu, and has the option of LapBandTalk and LBT mobile. Change it to the mobile, then back to the LapBandTalk, and it completely reformats, and removes all the ads. :D

I was shocked to when i first logged on too! The mobile layout is better! Thanks

Thank for the info:)

I actually really like the mobile version on my iPhone better than the full version on my home computer.

Don't like the changes either. My ticker doesn't show up and I can't figure out how to fix it. post-204846-13813133969843_thumb.jpg

Ah--mobile is so much better! Thank you for that hint!

I have had trouble logging in. Alex had to send me a new password. Plus some of the long forum titles are jumbled together. I can't read them. I don't understand the notification choices. I don't want to get a PM everytime someone quotes my post. Does anyone know how to change that? Thanks.

If you go to the top and click on the little black arrow next to your name and select My settings

Then to the left, click Notifications Options.

This is where you can change all of your notifications.

The one for when someone quote's you is the third check box under

Topics & Posts

Notification method to use for new topics and topic digests Notification method to use for topic replies and reply digests Notify me when someone quotes my posts

Hope that helps!

Depending on which computer I am on, I can't see who is posting, it is totally obscured. And the posts only post on the right half of the screen. The left half is blank. I tried switching to mobile and back, didn't work fo rme.

The site also crashes often when I try to go into some of the threads. I've tried different settings on my computer to make it look better, no go. I am not crazy about the mobile version, I cannot see tickers or avatars, I like those.

I hope they get the bugs sorted out soon. I went into withdrawls not being able to get on for 4 days...I missed everyone!

Change is bad. Bring back the old format! :( The mobile setting sucks, too.

I don't see ads, I have an ad-blocker installed.

What I HATE is that there's no longer previews of the posts when you hover over the topic titles ... I relied heavily on that to see if I really wanted to open the thread.

If anyone in charge is reading this...Fix that please!!
