1) When I make a post I just get a plain box now. No choice for font, text color, emoticons, etc.

2) On my notification list I used to be able to check the box at the top right and it would check all the boxes next to my notifications. It doesn't do that now.

3)In a topic I can't see who is following the topic. I used to be able to see that.

These are a few of the problems there are a couple more. They all started yesterday or day before. I even rebooted the computer to see if that helped. It didn't.

Aynone else having these same issues? Open to any and all suggestions to get things working right.

Thanks.

I'm on a new iPad. PMs and posts both have a send button, but it only works if I quote someone (obviously that does not work with the PM's). I just tried again...same problem in this post.

This is a small bug with our latest app and we're working on resolving. All you need to do is press RETURN key after the text you type and the send button will light up once the return key is clicked.

Hi Alex,

I cannot use the nifty stuff at the top of the reply box, no smilies, bold, ect. It is greyed out.When I roll over the stuff it gets darker but clicking on them will do nothing. Internet Explorer 9. It worked fine a few days ago. I tried to find something that might have changed on my part in internet options but no dice.

Any advise?

P.S.

Well, it must be an IE9 thang. I am posting this line with firefox. -_-:mellow:

P.P.S.

Alex, this is a common problem with IE9 apparently. It may have to do with a java script update that IE9 made that left forums in the cold. Check out this thread about 7 - 9 posts down:

No luck, Alex.

From Microsoft:

(If a website doesn't display correctly in Internet Explorer, using Compatibility View might help. If Internet Explorer recognizes a website that isn't compatible, you'll see the Compatibility View icon on the address bar. To turn Compatibility View on, click the Compatibility View button to the make the icon change from an outline to a solid color.)

There was no icon. I went to Tools-Compatibility settings and added the forum to the list to be viewed in Compatibility View . No change, the stuff is still greyed out and doesn't work.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
