The New VST



Recommended Posts

When I click on the icon that is supposed to take you to the 'last post read' (I assume its the last post 'I' read), instead it just takes me to the last post. So I have to page up/down, to figure out what is new to me (what I have read or not read). :blink:

Do not care for this new forum. The other was very easy to navigate. I could hit a button called New Posts and automatically find them. It took me 5 minutes to figure out to his the RSS feed.

Also how do I update my signature? Its not under settings.

Congrats on the upgrade, but please include instructions.

You can also set the View New Content  feed.png link to show new content since your last visit or all new content you haven't read. You can set this in My Settings :  image-2599525228.jpg

To update your signature, you'd go to the same area accessible by clicking on your name at the top left of the site and then going to:

I hate it!!!! I liked the old site, why fix what isn't broken. This one not only the colors are off, they are harder to read on the screen, the ads are taking over.

Can we please go back to what we had before?????

We've added an iPhone/iPad App. Please click here for more info.

I've also added a simple tutorial area which should show you how to modify your settings and some other features you might be looking for. Click here to view please.

We're going to add a few new skins our members can select which should alleviate some issues with color and fonts.

Please tell us we are not stuck with this chat room. Everyone hates it. We can't change the color or the size of our fonts . and the chat screen is way too small. the only good thing about it is the band people can't hop in and out.

I am finding it much more difficult this new way to post.

how do we permanently change our font size and color for all of our posts without doing it individually for each post?

How do you delete old pms? I have to bring up each pm and then delete, rather than check a box and delete a whole page of them?

Alex please explain why we had to have these changes? Everything is much more difficult, even if you can do what you want to do-why make it harder to do it?

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!!!

What problems are you having with the iPhone application? I have downloaded it on mine and it works great. Maybe I can help with something. If you go to apps on your phone and search ip.board, you will find the app.

<br />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.<br />
<br /><br /><br />

Go to the bottom of the site and you'll see a drop down box. Select VST Mobile as your skin. That should resolve your issues at work.

Thanks for the tutorial. That did help.

I went and read about the pms and it said there would be a box to check to delete the ones you want deleted.

I can't find any box next to any of my pms. My box is getting full but it's hard to delete them one by one. I need that box to check.

I also have the same problem, Daisy. I believe the advertisement on the left side of the page is covering the boxes. I will let Alex know.

Thanks Susan. It's a real PITA the way it is now.

Also, do we have to change our font for each post every time we post?

In the old system, I had it set so that every post I made had the font and color I want.

I don't see a way to do this, except for doing it every time I make a new post.

This is something I'm looking at adding but I must say I (personally) think it's a lot easier on the eyes if everyone uses the same size, font and color.

I take it you disagree ?

Do you know what resolution your screen is set to ? Is it 800x600 ? It must be really low....we're going to fix either way.

Alex, the default font size that we are stuck using now if we don' t edit each post is very tiny! I am sure most of use liked being able to pick a color and stick with it for every post, which we had set from the user cp. I don't care as much about the color as I do this tiny font that I can barely see.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
