2 computer questions



Recommended Posts

1- Is there any way to stop having e-mails sent to you everytime someone respond to a thread you posted in?

2-For Dr. Cobourn patients. Has anyone ever e-mailed Dr. Cobourn at HIS e-mail address. I sent him a question I had, and I was just wondering how long it might take for him to respond?

At the bottom of each email are two addresses, one to unsubscribe to that particular thread, and one to unsubscribe to all of the threads

Ooooorrrr... in the thread in question, you can click on "Thread Tools" at the top of the page, and click 'unsubscribe from this thread".

and if you never ever ever wanna get notifications of new replies to posts, go to your "User CP" (you know, where you edit your signature), then in the Control Panel, chose "Edit Options", scroll down the page and in the "Messaging and Notification", there's an area that says "Default Thread Subscription Mode". Yours is probably set to "instant email notification". Chose "do not subscribe' or "no email notification".... I'm sure they both do the same thing, so pick whatever you want!

(p.s. I don't know all this craziness off the top of my head. I thought I'd seen something in the User CP once about unsubscribing, so I went looking! I personally like getting 20 emails from here a day, cause that's all I ever get! :rolleyes: )

And #2, I have emailed Dr. C at his own address before, and I recall he answered very quickly. Can you find the email you sent, copy it, and resend it? Give it a couple days, and if no reply... email the nurses email address, and tell them to check his damn email! If nothing else, you'll have to buckle down and call him !

Thanks Mandi, that info about e-mails will be useful for a lot of us. Here is my question. How do I post pictures that are not gigantuous? I once attached a photo on this site from windows, my pictures, and it was huge.

This reminds me of work, we get a new batch of student every year for their internship. They are young and grew up with computers all their lives. Whenever I have a computer question, I always nab of them first. Sometimes they can be pretty handy. It almost makes up for them being pains in the derrière.

haha, well... I haven't had computer experience ALL my life. I actually remember 'finding out' about the internet in highschool, and I was quickly hooked! Must be my addictive personality!

Do you have any kind of photo editing software on your computer? Usually the pictures you take right off your camera are reeeeally big, so you have to resize them.

Wheezy, I kinda have a answer...lol. I just remember that when I was going throw the step of posting my pics(the steps I took off this web site). One of the steps was picture size, like dimensions or what not, but it also says 'best for web'. I just clicked on that, and it worked!! Hope that kinda helps.

Thanks all for the unsubscribe thingy.

Also, Dr. Cobourn, my hero, e-mailed back last night. I LOVE HIM!!!!

      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.
