Alex, Are we going to get the new posts button back?

Denise:

Do you see the "Members Area" at the top left of your screen? If so, the New Posts link is there. Or you can click on the "LINKS" button at the top of the screen and there's a "New Posts" link on that menu.

Hi Alex,

Congratulations on this wonderful site.

I think it would be great if we had our own personal weight logs on here.

I was a member of a UK weight loss surgery site and here's the link to my log there : WLSInfo Forums

You set up the weight log by entering your starting weight and height and the programme works out your BMI and weight loss total with every entry and also the percentage of your excess weight lost.

There was also the option of making them public so every member can view it or keeping it private, for personal use only.

I found it invaluable and it kept me motivated as I could see where I started and how far I'd come.

Just an idea.

That's not a bad idea, however there is already a site called TickerFactory.com that does this and it can be easily linked to LBT so that any updates you make to it are automatically reflected in your signature line (that is if you choose to make it public by putting it there)

The one I have in my signature line right now is only reflecting a mini goal I am striving for but I also have one for my long term goal that I've just temporarily removed from public view.

I'm sorry to see the Future Ads coming soon on the right hand side now. I guess it was inevitable that someone would want to advertise on here. I hope this doesn't mean you are selling our personal information to those advertisers.

Thanks! I finally did discover that last night after fooling around with all the buttons to see what they do.

NEVER EVER EVER!!!

The site costs quite a bit to develop and run. Until now it's all come out of my own pocket. Your info will NEVER be given out to advertisers.

I'm not sure if I asked this before or not but is there a way to donate to this site? I don't have a problem with the advertising but I'd also be more than willing to make a donation. This site has helped me more than I could have ever imagined and I'd love to "pay it forward" in the interest of making sure it was around for the support of future bandsters.

Thanks for the offer!! I think we can manage without donations from our members at the present moment. I'd rather keep the site totally free and have the medical community (who actually profit from our users) pay it forward

Thank you Alex. You are so good to us!

Alex, Did anything come out of the clothing exchange ?

If you need any help developing that please let me know . There are quite a few members interested in that , a thread is going now about it .

I think it would be Bigger and Better to have its own section . So i wanted to see where if anywhere that was in the process. A few of us have ideas about "guidelines" if you need help .

Thanks

Mindy

alex, i generally like the new site and thank you for all your efforts here. however, when you click on the links tab, there are about a million choices on the drop down meny you. couls you add a shortcut to subscribed threads to the list on the sidebar in members area after new posts?

thanks a billion!

You'll see that change in a few minutes.

Alex, is there any way to remove rep power comments from the control center? I know that the whole comment thing can be collapsed, but there are some mean/childish comments that were left to me during the last time we had the rep power thingy, and I'd rather not see them whenever I do have it opened. So, a way to remove them or an automatic removal after a certain number of days would be awesome.
