Anyone having issues with the site July 26, 2024?

VeganOstomy — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 21:46:04 +0000

Hey guys.

I have a forum member reporting issues on the site (small font), but I'm not seeing anything like that on my end.

If anyone else is having issues, could you please report it here or email me at info@veganostomy.ca?

Thank you

cut to fit opening cutter tool

Instead of scissors to create opening on cut to fit, has anyone used a "cutter tool" such as the ones by Nu-Hope or Parthenon? Or even a craft cutter tool?

Beware scam

Just an FYI - I just got a private message that promised me $5 million US, but I had to reply to this (new) member’s personal email. Scams are everywhere these days, unfortunately, even this site isn’t exempt. Be careful out there.

Changes to VeganOstomy are coming... no need to panic!

Hey folks,

Over the last year or two, as traffic to the website has grown and more strain has been put on my web host, I've noticed that page speeds and general site navigation has felt sluggish.

I've done what I can to smoothen things out from a software and optimization standpoint, but I've reached a hardware limit so upgrades will need to be done.

I'm in the process of looking for a new web host, with the goal of making this website blazing fast again!

Nothing really needs to be done on your end, but while I do some research and eventually move forward with it, I may be silent for a while while I try to balance my time.

Before the transition, I'll let everyone know. It's possible that certain features will be broken during the switch (i.e. email notification may not go through since that's part of a separate system that may need to be re-configured), but I'm hoping that will be kept to a minimum.

Thanks for your ongoing support and patience :)

QUESTION: Would you like an option to add what kind of stoma you have to your profile?

VeganOstomy — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 16:39:41 +0000

Forum member @dogtalkerer had brought up a good point about having some way to identify what kind of stoma each forum member has in order to help answer posts since each type of stoma may require a different answer or have a nuance that requires special attention.

Currently, I am able to add this option as a field in the member profile and it would be up to each member to fill it (or not). This information would only be viewable if you are looking at a specific member profile, so I do advise that you list what type of stoma you have in the "signature" section of your profile if that's something you want to share.

What do you guys think? Should I add a stone type field to user profiles? Any other suggestions?

Vendor reviews?

VeganOstomy — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 16:22:59 +0000

I had an email from someone who was looking for reviews on ostomy supply vendors. I couldn't possibly offer that myself (I only buy from one or two in a very specific geographical location), but it did get me thinking:

Would you like to see a section on the forums where you can write your own review or experiences with suppliers? Would you find that helpful?

Let me know what you think. If enough people show their support for the idea, then I'll add a sub-forum for "Vendor Reviews".

Timeframe for Editing Posts

Tony — Mon, 06 May 2019 16:36:37 +0000

I noticed long after I had posted to the StomaLife topic that I had made a couple of embarrassing typos and wanted to correct them, but the edit button was not available. I found out that there was a timeframe limit for this plugin that an admin can set for editing posts. If there's a way to make this limit forever, that would be great, but it would also help if we could have that time limit for editing posts greatly increased. Thanks for reading.

tracking daily,weekly topic views?

dogtalkerer — Thu, 02 May 2019 21:15:01 +0000

vegan, does the software here have the capability to track daily views over the course of weeks and months? like a line graph or bar graph? the cymed thread seems to be tracking upwards at a faster rate lately? but i haven't been paying that close enough attention. I did email cymed again, waiting for a reply, if not, I will call.

spin the picture?

dogtalkerer — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 18:13:24 +0000

Vegan, can you rotate the picture I loaded 180degrees? "spring yet post". not sure why it came in upside down?
