How do I get that little weight thing at the bottom of ya'll messages?

Also when I use to use these boards a thousand years ago they were listed differently. It would show like a post and then all the posts to that post under it.. then the next persons tab ..

I am hoping I can change settings somewhere. Thanks in advance.

Of course I'm not sure if there is a point to using the weight loss thing.. since I'm prego I will be GAINING weight I'm sure.. but I want it anyways.

You can go to 3fatchicks.com, but I think you need to pay ivillage $4/month, or something, for the fee to post such stuff. Kinda sucks they want to charge you, but oh well.

BTW, their express yourself package didn't work out well on my Mac/Safari browser. :(

LOL yeah, paying for something so small seems unfair, especially when they have all these ads everywhere -- some of them not even advocating safe weight loss!

Anyway, sorry about the fee thing. ;-)

I remember what the boards were like before they changed it.

I think when you pay for a subscription, you get other benefits to - I heard it gives you and ad-free view - can one of the members tell me if that is true?

When I had it, it still had the ads; however, I'm on a Mac, and I couldn't even get the templates or signature to work -- nothing worked. They said they were dual platform, but I think what they meant was I'd have to work five times as hard to get it to work on my computer with my browser (Safari). *blech*

Money sucks. Money and clothes. Money, clothes, and good food. All my enemies. All. >:-|

LOL

One of the subscriptions does take away the ads but not all of them.

I paid the $29.99 for a year. I can see up to 20 post per page, have a signature and get digests. It tells you everything at http://www.ivillage.com/messageboardsplus?o=dcm,mbp,iv,bn,eyupgrade180,msgbds,tenancy I think it was worth it. I really like this board and like having the little scale to remind me what my goal is.
