I am beyond frustrated! This forum does not work in Chrome. It kept sending me a circles. I finally figured out that it works in Explorer only to lose a whole post when I hit something (space bar, enter, who knows?????)
I'll post more when I'm in a happier frame of mind. I was excited about the new format, especially the ease in posting pictures, a little unhappy about the loss of the ticker, but hopeful that it would soon be back. Now I don't know. I'm going to go with cautiously optimistic that they will work out the bugs.
Meanwhile, it is good to be back!

Surprised you are having trouble in chrome because I think that is why the are changing the format to make it compatible with chrome. That is how I knew what the star was for because that is how you bookmark in chrome. I am writing this from my chrome book. 0 -
Hello all: A little confused by this new format. Going to take some time to work things out. Maybe my DD can help me while we are together in Portland. I am looking forward to the trip and spending time with her. We had some people walk through the house last evening. Yikes! That made me anxious. Well now to see if this posts. Sue in SD0

All freaking out here. Profile pictures tiny! Any way to make the ticker "stick"?
Life was weird enough the last several weeks....

so the tickers don't stick. Boo!0 -
I learned if you want to change your picture on the discussion boards you have to do it there. When you change it on the profile site it will only change it on your where you comment on friends not the forums. I also had to download from my computer. I could not access my saved profile pictures. I learned this in another thread. Go to message board preferences. It will say change picture for forum sites.

The rose was from my mom's garden. It is from a 50 year old bush and smelled like a real rose. WONDERFUL. :drinker: 0 -
Sylvia: I love your pot! It is lovely.
Cynthia: I copied the url for my ticker onto the word document I use for posting and saved it there. It should show up anytime I post using my saved word document, but I don’t think it will show up otherwise.
I agree with all who are unhappy with the size of our photos along the side. They need to be bigger.
I had a frustrating time logging back in this afternoon after finding our group this morning. I ended up putting the name Women 50+ in the search window. I haven’t discovered how to bookmark it yet. Has anyone figured that out?
I did some horseback riding helmet research. The Net Wisdom is that I need a helmet that is ASTM approved and it needs to fit my head, so I need to go to a reputable store and try them on. More expensive is not safer if both helmets meet ASTM criteria. That makes sense to me. Those of you who are experienced horsewomen, please let me know if I’m off the mark and mistaken about this. I plan to go into Portland and look for one tomorrow.

I can't seem to get calories DOWN since I got back. Up 20 lbs in one year. Lost 40 gained 20. ARGH0

Katla the bookmark is the star by the title of the forum at the top of the page. Click on it and it turns yellow. This topic is now bookmarked for you. You will notice a gray bell, star and cog in the upper right hand corner of the page across from Message Boards click on the gray star and your forum topics will appear. If someone post a message after you will notice a number by the bell you can also click on that to get back to here, too. I have been experimenting with the new format on and off most of the day. It is like anything else new some things I like others not so much. Some things are lost in translation like the access to profile pictures to change the forum picture. Above post. The edit feature takes getting used to too.
Still working out the ticker. 0 -
DrKatieBug, that's funny. I use Chrome at the studio and it seems to work ok. I didn't have any trouble yet.
Katla, there is a little star (it's just an outline of a star) to the right of the topic name in the Motivation and Support listings. You click the star and it turns yellow and that makes the bookmark.

DrKatieBug - I'm using Chrome and it is working well. Let's hope I didn't jinx myself by saying that...0

I use Chrome and found you OK.
Managed 114467 steps yesterday. Toxic neighbour coming back in car and I kept walking. Need to stay away from her.
I did 40 minutes Sports active I this morning for cardio and Jillian's hard Bodies shortly, then a 2 mile walk this afternoon.
Having breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack from Livinglite, food cals at 2025, all OK

For those for whom Chrome works, did you have to sign in to the community separately? It told me I wasn't signed in. When I signed in I was sent right back to my homepage to be told to sign in again on the Community page. Round and round in frustrating circles. It worked perfectly in Explorer without signing in twice. Now I'm on my iPad. I was once again told to sign in again on the community page, but it brought me back to it and let me post. I'm ticked that Chrome works for some but not for me. My computer operating system is Windows 8 if that makes a difference. trying to be patient but feeling picked on (not by y'all, by the new message board!)0

Sylvia ... love the "pot!" Especially love the photo of you!!
Margaret ... thanks for the instructions.
Love the photos ... sooo much better than going to your profile pages!

My fitbit flex is not working right and I don't know what the lights mean. When I tap it, instead of showing me the regular progress lights, it flashes two lights spaced a ways apart, then two lights farther to the right, then back to the left, and so on. Does anybody know what this means or how to fix it?
Sylvia0 -
Yikes... finally! I'll have to work at the new formats! Hope all is well for all you gals.
Had sad news that my oldest nephew, early 50's, today is having his right foot amputated due to complications with his diabetes. So horrible for him.
I've been lurking, but reading.

We are leaving after line dance class for a long weekend out of town, far enough north in Washington that we may be able to cross the border into Canada for a few hours....we packed our passports...I have been eating very carefully this week to prepare for the inevitable restaurant meals. I won't be able to post on the forums probably because I'll have only my phone not my laptop (the new one arrived but won't be up and running until next Friday afternoon when the computer guy comes)
Line dance class, 50 minutes on exercise bike, 24,000 steps

Did about 1-1/4 hr of Kelly Coffee-Meyers 30 Minutes to Fitness DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jillian Michael's Killer Bun and Thighs DVD.
barbie - the way I found this group was I clicked on "challenges" and then on "motivation and support". Is there an easier way? Used to be (and may still be but I don't know how to do it) that I got a listing of every place I posted and I could just click on that. Later - thanks Margaret, I'm going to try that
judyxshoes - glad to hear all went well with your checkup
Heather - my throat has been scratchy somewhat. I think it might be the change in the weather. I've just been drinking lot of hot tea. When is dh's birthday?
Bit of an NSV for me -- tonight I had a craving for one of those doppel kek cookies, so I was going to have just half of one. Well, after one bite I had lost any desire for it, so I probably wound up throwing 3/4 of it away. But that's not all a bad thing
Sylvia - lovely picture. Thanks for sharing.
Juanita - hope things clear up for you soon
Heather - can I PLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEE pinch her cheeks???? Pretty please?????
paintedlady - welcome! Are you a painter?
trulabfloyd - welcome! Tell me how things are different the older we get. And the worst part (to me anyway) is that younger kids just don't understand. when eating out, I wouldn't starve myself, you'll just wind up making poor choices. I'd check online to see their menu and take it from there. Usually, you'll be able to get their nutritionals
kayak_kutie - how did you bookmark this site? Update: I think I figured it out
katla - I don't have much of a feeling about the tickers one way or the other. I know that if I had a ticker, one week it would be up a little, the next week it would be down. So happy about dh. I know that regardless of age, the place where my girls took horseback riding lessons ALWAYS made EVERYONE wear a helmet.
kat - welcome. You seem to know what works best for you, that's great. Come in often and let us get to know you better
Robin - you've been sorely missed. come in often
margaret - lovely pic of your mom. Now I know where you get your good looks from!
CVarol - hope it's nothing serious with your daughter
Sylvia - glad you get to go to the ceramic symposium. Enjoy yourself. How do you play Farkel? Gorgeous pot
katla - bigger pics - guess MFP should give us all magnifying glasses....lol. Yes, all of my daughter's helmets were ASTM approved. Be sure to get one that has that approval
This morning we had the Newcomer general meeting. Newcomers will be there for another function tonight. Seems they had it confused and so they weren't set up for us this morning, they were only expecting us tonight. Looks like I need to tell them that we'll be there twice when I call to remind them that we'll be there. Then we started the....boo......boo hiss......closing the pool.
Gail - what sad news about your nephew.
barbie - have a good trip

Sylvia - Your Fitbit is in sleep mode. Keep tapping it until it wakes up.0

Carol – thanks…. Would love to get to the point that Drama was something I bought a ticket to go see!!!
Rori – what an assistant, his (her) look is that she’s in charge and you are the assistant!
Dr Katie – I am in chrome and having no problems….
Sylvia – LOVE the dispenser!!!! The lights on the fitbit sound like the lights it does when you are sleeping… :drinker
Barbie !!! wow!!!! You have done great and love your Kitchen….
It is fun having a roommate again. Barb and I get along really well, and we are each cooking one meal a week together, tonight was stroganoff and green beans.... was really good and while she is not yet doing MFP she wants to be thinner so is totally into having a "good" meal with me and cooking to my needs.
October Goals:
Breath
Log every day
Walk every day

Still playing with new system. Learned if you click on bell and at the bottom click on all Notifications a page will come up that about half down it will say edit profile. When you click on that it will have a list. On this list you can change your picture for the forums. You can also crop your picture. It is under edit your thumbnail. You can also make choices on what notifications you will allow.

Can you say, "Sucks." Shouldn't the bugs be worked out BEFORE the change not AFTER? The text came up teeny tiny. I had to zoom in a couple of times before I could read it. I need a magnifying glass to see each poster's pic, and I miss the tickers.
There, now I can go on. (But I hope MFP gets it act together sooner rather than later.)
Katia, I'm so glad to hear how well your DH is doing. Great news!
Robin, welcome back! (I'm the same old Mimi7Grands, but MFP wouldn't let me in. I like "MimiPersists" even better.)
One thing I am loving about the new site is the ability to add pictures. I'm going to try it shortly here. (With much trepidation.)
The first pic is of me, my brother, and my son at my brother's 60th birthday party. That was a great day.
The second pic (I'm hopeful here) is of my two DGD's, toasting each other with Shirley Temples at the oldest DGD's 10th birthday.
The last is of my mom and dad (88 and 92) on the deck at Sunnyside in Tahoe. They're doing pretty well for a couple of old codgers. (I can say that because I am one too!)
Mimi
p.s. the second pic has been "uploading" for 5 minutes. I can't delete it. I'll see if I can post then add the pics to the next post. Here goes
