chat function not working last few days



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am unsure if this has been reported but the chat room and individual chat functions have not be working properly for a few days. Seeing chats is requiring a full refresh of the browser no matter if Firefox or IE. Active notification of new chat messages are not working.

That's understandable. But is there a way to post a message on the front page when the site is under construction so we are not just wondering and also have a timeline when improvements will be done. Thanks :)

In the near future we most definitely will be much more proactive about letting our members know what's going on etc. It's a bit difficult to do with the system we currently have in place.

Huh ?! Pictures and PMs on Twitter ? Who's spreading these ridiculous rumors please ?

We're upgrading our web site and shut everything (photo gallery, blogs etc) down until the new site is launched. We hope to have it live by the end of this week. We definitely will be making some changes but nothing like you've mentioned above.

PM's aren't, but blog and posts are being linked into Twitter.

I just tested PMs and was able to send and receive. Let me know if that's not the case for you please.

We've been streaming all forum and blog posts to our twitter feed for years. We stopped on the 4th of this month and have no plans to continue streaming them again once the new site is launched.

I've been running LapBandTalk for over a decade now and have never sold any personal info, nor do I ever plan on it.

Your pictures and personal convo's will never be sold.

Please keep in mind......Anything you post online anyone can see.

how do people get a hold of this stuff?

LBT is my place to come and talk with others about stuff that i can't with others and to be honest... I feel violated.

I know you cant monitor everything, but are this updated going to do a better job at protecting out privacy?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
