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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
