Now you can blame Frank indirectly for this but in fiddling under the bonnet of the forum trying to make gorgeous visitor maps I've managed to get a new Advanced Search Box into the sidebar on the right which will now appear on every forum page


When tinkering I saw many searches were still being made using the default (and unremovable) forum search box directly above. Understandable given it's on every page and the fantastic Google Advanced Search engine is a bit hidden on its own page in the navigation [note to new members: the default search engine that comes with the forum is limited to one page, is often innaccurate and frequently outdated which is why we installed the Google custom search engine on the forum to make available the wealth of information and experience buried deep in the website].


The new box should play nice with the custom engine but if you notice anything squiffy let me know.


So for best results please use this search box or the Advanced Search page (they're both one and the same) as your first and last port of call and you'll be rewarded again and again and again with lots of useful information to manage EPI...

Olesia, owned by Izzy-45lb SWD, Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.3, Stable almost 7 yrs! Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.

Maybe it's just me, but I seem to have lost the ability to use the Advanced Search; the side bar just says "loading" all the time. When I go back up to the menu items to select "advanced search", same problem..."loading"

G'day, the 'loading' message will appear for everyone but should only last for a second or so (by way of do-dad explanation, Google supply the code as a javascript element to allow me to place it in different bits of this clunky forum application, like the sidebar etc. so I've no direct control over that, it either works or it doesn't). This sort of thing depends on a bunch of variables too; your operating system, browser brand and version, your internet connection, work/home, metro/rural, the forum application, the host, a cow farting in Venezuela etc etc at which point it gets very boring and I go and make a cup of tea or scotch whichever is to hand (hey they're the same colour right?)


Paula, if you can supply a little more info I might be able to find out a bit more for you; operating system and version, browser and version, work or home network, internet connection type.


Sorry but we haven't got any tech guys, only me and I just try to work stuff out as I go. So bear with the occasional blip, if it works 9/10 times you gotta be ahead right 8)

You made me spit tea all over my keyboard when i read your post.

I definetly think it is the cow farting in Venezuela etc etc that is causing my problem.

As for operating systems well i switch it on and it works isnt  that what you call an operating sytem !!!!!!!!!!!
