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....

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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
