Is anyone else having a problem I found the new Content but when I go to click on a post it goes so slow it almost freezes up my computer. I did not know if it was just me or my computer.

Like the new site but I do not like advertising about meeting women with names like "Honey Bunny." I know advertising makes this possible but advertising should be appropriate. Call me old fashioned...

Fit.

I am at work 12+ hours a day so I check on the forum at work. I can't do that now, with the very first thing spashing across my screen are photos that members have recently uploaded. I don't want my computer screen filled with brightly colored photos of people in bathing suits and hospital gowns! Discretion is the name of the game.

Alex, I can deal with the changes here - if we must - but pllllleeeeeeeze hurry up and fix the iphone version! I can't even use it at all! I'm supposed to downloand a "forum reader" app and upgrade my (dying) iphone, etc. Also, the new iphone forum has no new content link, etc., etc. And here we thought the old iphone app was bad, this one is terrible! You're killing me!

Thanks!!!

Alex my man, you have your work cut out for you! I tryed to show my husband the befor and after pics.. it was hard to navigate to see more than one pic in an album. It was the first time he was interested in seeing what I have been looking at, and got bored and left because I couldnt find the "after" pictures to go with the "Befores". Thanks, I know you are probably already losing sleep getting this thing together....

I'll just toss out there that it's really cumbersome to navigate through the site. Trying to find the USER CP was next to impossible, I don't care for the colors, but I can deal with it. I also being able to put my mouse over the thread topic and getting a preview of the post.

I know it'll take some time, but I sure do miss the old VST. I also hate that I lost all my privacy settings. The new notifications are kind of weird, and I'm not digging the chatroom feature at all.

Will there be a way we can set a default font size and color again? Am I just missing that option somewhere? I've checked through all the options and didn't see it as an available feature.

ok, I second Tiff's comment about the mouseover needing to come back, especially for those of us that have crappy internet... Also, where is my personal collection of stuff that I have posted? Can't find them in the CP... I'm a firm believer in; If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Not likin it so far but trying to keep an open mind...

There is a "mouse over" option. If you mouse over the topic there will be a little green icon that looks like a piece of paper pop up. Click on that and it will give you a preview. It will show the first and last post.

Hey Diva,

Thanks for that but nope, not getting the green piece of paper... bet it's an OS thing... I'm still on XP on this computer, will try my other laptop that has windows 7. Still frustrating that I might have to use one computer for one feature and another for other features... ugh!

Thanks again,

C

Not working for me on Microsoft Vista, and Firefox. I'm not using Internet Explorer anymore, and if the title doesn't grab my attention then I'll just move on to the next topic.

Awwwwwwwwww CORRECTION: I see what you're talking about. It's not something I can see easily on the page. It only pops up if I move my mouse over that general area of the thread title.

Glad you found it! I just clicked on it out of curiosity myself. I do also have Firefox and Windows Vista, so it should work for anyone really...

Oh!! :o I DO see it! But definitely WaY more cumbersome than before... I must be getting old... :blink:

Anyone notice how formatting just gives you html tags now too instead of the actual formatting...? Good grief. And why did we make these changes...?

The advertising is a little bit much -- I realize it's needed to pay for the site, but does it have to consume 1/2 of the page?? I too would also like to see where people are from. I'm not a real fan of the pinks and purples, but I can get over that.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
