I am increasingly frustrated with using this site on my kindle and phone



Recommended Posts

I have the app on my phone and the version I have works okay except you can't see signatures and profiles and I really feel like I miss out. It is also slower for me to type on my phone.

I post from the browser on my kindle - so I can see siggies and profiles etc. but it is becoming a nightmare. If I start a post, I can't see what I am typing. i have to post something and then reply to it, so then I can see what I am typing. I can't seem to edit a post when I do the post preview thing. I don't remember it behaving this way before, but very frustrating.

I also have an old laptop, which works fine.... but isn't always handy for me. I really wish that the site was more compatible with my "mobile" devices.

@@CowgirlJane I hear you.... I always look at the signature stuff under the username. (i.e. surgery date and lbs lost, etc....)

TOTALLY AGREE...My computer got hit with a virus three months ago and I am stuck with using a Nabi (kindle like device) to get online. I haven't had any trouble corresponding with others on websites, but I keep having difficulty with bariatricpal.com. I can't see what I'm typing.

We're working on adding sigs and profiles to the mobile apps. You should see that feature available within the next few months.

Thanks Alex, what is going on with the invisible typing from the kindle? It didn't used to be like that.

We're looking into it. Which Kindle model are you using ?

i have a Kindle Fire HDX I think is the right code. WL says same problem with a different device... it is maddening. I also can't seem to edit my posts anymore via a kindle, but maybe I was just hung up, not sure.

I can't edit posts as well. Since I can't see the text as I type (when posting), editing it is quite impossible. I tried. I can see the text as I type if I reply to someone else's post, like right now.

I also forgot to mention that I am not using the app, I'm actually experiencing these difficulties on the web site.

Hey WL, about a year ago my laptop got a nasty virus and since it is "aged" I decided it wasn't worth taking to the pros. I fought that sucker off and killed it using malwarebytes, a free software. I had to run it over and over again, but finally killed it!

Piggy backing on your thread. I stopped using the app because of annoyances, but I'm seeing weird changes to the regular site as well..

It seems like I can't edit my older posts anymore... in Chrome or Explorer on my PC. So bizarre. And I'm no longer able to paste an image into the body of a post, which I've done before like this: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/314933-funnynerdymeme-workout-shirts/?p=3553841.

EDIT: So apparently I can edit a recent post... How long does it take before the posts get locked un-editable? Maybe I just never noticed that before. But not being able to paste a pic is new for sure.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
