Weird Signature acronym issue



Recommended Posts

Hello!

Not sure if some kind of setting was changed but apparently my signature went a bit weird (pointed out by another LBT member).

It used to say "Dr. Woodhead, Delta BC" as in British Columbia and I guess for some reason the forums were assuming that stood for "birth control" and spelt it out long form instead so that it said "Dr. Woodhead, Delta Birth Control" yet when I looked at my signature in "Edit signature" it said "Delta BC"

I'm almost positive it used to just say "Delta BC" when viewing posts so this has to be a relatively new thing... kind of a strange "autochange" in my opinion.

Thanks!

Okay now it's doing it in my post... I didn't edit it so that you can see...

It used to say "Dr. Woodhead, Delta Birth control" as in British Columbia

When I typed that in the message screen it said Delta "B.C." (no periods).

Yeah, this is why I think the filter to automatically spell out words is weird.

I swear it didn't used to do that or I would have noticed that my signature said "birth control" or someone else would have noticed it and pointed it out sooner like they did lol... me no likey. lol

Yeah it reminds me of pogo.com .. if you use the chat room, it assumed you're saying words based off of some generic filter that looks for 'bad words'. If you type something like baseball hat, it would go @#$ hat. It just saw ball. And ball can be bad. And it makes for some weird stuff.

I'm going to disable the words that get in the way of things. Your feedback is much appreciated.

What is the advantage of this feature?

It feels like someone else gets to decide what I want to say....

Most of these have been removed. The idea was to assist newbs reading the forums.

Hahaha, someone pointed out my signature said I had my surgery done by Dr Woodhead in Delta Birth Control and I was like wtf... but I like your thinking. I tell ya, some people really shouldn't be allowed to have children (I think everyone knows a few of those), wouldn't it be nice to be able to do that. lol

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
