Mandy ~ Here's a screen shot I took of the spell check in the advanced screen. It's just above the Smilies. Do you see it on your screen? If not, I'm wondering if it says something about downloading the most recent version.

Susan ~ Off the top of my head, I know that they did bring back the delete button and also added an exercise thread.

spellcheck.doc

Now that I have downloaded it I can see it!! Whooo Hoooo!!! ~Mandy

Glad you found it. :cool:

I also would like to see a newbie section, but i really would love to have the chat fixed, I emailed Wheetsin(thank you) and she passed it along and nobody got back to me after that. :cool: The chat seems to be an issue for quite a few people, I'm surprised that they have not posted.

Also, wouldn't it be great to be able to send an Instant message to someone from the buddy list page? Just like you can do in the chat room. yes, i know we have aim and others but i'd rather just click on my buddy list on lbt instead of loading AIM and having all my other buddies wanting to chat.

Some more suggestions:

I like to copy my journal and store it on my hard disk in MS Word or Publisher files. Currently you can copy and paste text from each entry, but this is a pain if you have lots in your journal to export at once.

An export feature for journals pages so that the whole journal can be copied out of LBT would be useful. It would need to be a secure feature so that only the account owner can export their own personal journal pages. It would also need to include relevant time & date stamps for each journal entry etc.

A forum area for long-term bandits would be great encouragement for all of us - eg. that has sticky threads for "One Year Out", "Two Years Out", "Lifer's Lifestyle", "Plastic Surgery 5 years on" etc etc

Seems I killed the thread last time...

Anyway, now things around LBT have calmed down, here's another suggestion. Can we clean up the before & after picture threads, running weight loss totals etc to reduce their size and return them to their original intent - eg. only before & after pics in the thread, as per the statement made at the start of at least one of these threads?

If the thread starter has left / been banned - can we start fresh and transfer the pics / lists over to new threads?

These threads are great inspiration, and most LBTers don't mind reading recent feedback and applause - the successful posters deserve their kudos, but it is so time consuming to sift through the old stuff when all you really need is a shot of inspiration.

Loving the calmer LBT.com!

Newbie section is great idea...that way all the repeated questions that end up in all forums could be in one place. It took me a while to figure out searches. It would be good for newbies.

Did someone already suggest a forum for surgery abroad?

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I'd love to see a daily food journal that would keep track of our calories and %protein, carb & fat, etc. I've been using FitDay and it works great but that's just another place I have to visit... I'm lazy!

Also, maybe place all the polls in one area. Maybe duplicate just the poll in poll section with a link to the actual thread? The polls are fun to read and provide a LOT of good information.

No new suggestions here...

I just wanted to say I was excited to come back on after being off for a few hours and see the layout has been rearranged a bit. I think it was a great idea putting all the important information for our new members at the very top of the forum. Awesome idea!!!

Woo Hoo for our Mods!!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Pregnancy Forum

Pregnancy Forum

frustrated....I am trying to get my pic to sit where the little green dot is, like other folks, but mine sits down where my weight legend is...how do I move it up? I don't have a mouse...

There are some great suggestions in this thread! The ones that I would especially like to see are forums for:

• Clothing Exchange
  
• BI over 50
  
• Pregnancy with the Band
  
• Separate Polls forum
  
• Long-term bandsters (Banded for 2 years+) <--- this one would be especially helpful for pre-band members like me who want to read more about the long-term effects of banding BEFORE surgery!

Alternate skins for the board would be nice too!
