EC: Thank you for writing in about this. The issue is being fixed.

Doesn't seem to be a way to determine if it's the site or the browser as one is seldom able to reproduce the issue in any browser. Which just makes it extra fishy.
As an internet/network security explorer, I have 5 different browsers. But none of them is Chrome and all I care about is a secure connection with banking or credit card activity. I'd be the absolute most boring person to track so I don't really care about that. I do keep logs and one of these days I'm going to invoice some folks for following me around at rates determined by ME but that would just be for fun. My rates are quite high.

I would like the recipe for the melatonin lotion. Thank you.

EC: Thank you for letting us know. There are a few people who send in posts using small fonts and we don't always catch it in the approval process. Fixed the 3 recent small font posts from Cheryl in NJ.
I haven't seen such ads when on the EC website.

NOTE #1: THIS LINK WORKS ON AN iPhone, BUT NOT ON an MS Surface laptop with Windows 10. Please do application testing on multiple platforms to confirm future updates.
NOTE #2: Also, your PASTE function does not work inside this text box. After I paste a screen print and click on the I AGREE button, I get this message: Don't encode images in the post.
EC: Thank you, Wendy! Fixed so the link works. The home page desktop and home page mobile are two different files which is why the mobile worked.
Note: We removed the image uploader ability last month because it was being abused and is not really necessary for EC posts.
As you may have noticed, pages on Earth Clinic can take a very long time to load. Today we figured out, after the site was running particularly slowly, that we have too many databases pointing at the Recent Posts page, which is slowing the entire site down (answers.earthclinic.com and ted.earthclinic.com). To fix this, our fabulous programmer has separated all the Latest Posts sections.
Please make sure to click on Recent Answers because that's where all the new Q&A posts will be. We have 16 new replies from our newsletter just in the past couple of hours in that new section instead of in the Latest Posts section. Sorry that you have to click on another section to read posts, but now the site loads much faster!
You can find the links on the far left corner for desktop computer users under "Recent Activity".

is layered above the menu. It floats on top when you scroll through the menu and covers the links.
Also if you click that post's link it takes you to the post, but opening and closing the menu brings you to the top of the page instead of back to the post (which is at the bottom of the page).
EarthClinic is one of the best looking sites on the Net. That logo is *perfect* :) The blue and green combined with the black and white. The sans serif, no caps... The little white dude with the arrow. Whoever designed that it is *sweet*! The little leaves embracing the Earth....
EC: Thank you so much. We appreciate the alerts!
Yes, noticed that about the Editor's Choice floating at the top today too. It's on his "to do" list.
We've had that exact same logo since 2008, by the way! The font changed 2 years ago, but nothing else.
New Updates
EC: Did you view on a desktop computer? Mobile devices show a different menu that we haven't updated.
So far, comments have been favorable from Facebook posters re the new dropdown navigation menu.
New Updates
The menu background and menu text are now visible when I use the same laptop and the same Web browser that I was using previously. I apologize for twice posting this additional feedback; I discovered your reply after having filled in the contact form a little while before. On both occasions of trying to see the menu, I had been clicking the menu icon shaped like three blue bars.
Thank you for taking care of that matter. In case the programmer can benefit from additional information about my Web-browser settings, I have had JavaScript enabled on both occasions that I tested the menu. Also, I have had a browser add-on called NoScript enabled on both occasions.
Regarding the section of the Earth Clinic website dedicated to Ted from Bangkok's observations, might a link to ted.earthclinic.com be provided in the menu?
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
J.

EC: So glad it is working for you now! The programmer made some changes last night. Thank you for the update!
Yes, thank you for the reminder..Ted's archive has been added to the menu.
New Updates
Regarding the link to Ted's archive, it seems that three w's and a dot became added to the front of ted.earthclinic.com, resulting in a broken link.
EC: Thank you so much, once again, J!
Fixed!!

EC: Thank you for letting us know. Fixed.
Note: One of the reader posts further down on the page had strange formatting, which caused the issue.

When logged in to EC today, I was trying to Reply to a post (https://answers.earthclinic.com/sudden-onset-arthritis-hands.html) and had checked the checkbox to "Would you like to be notified via email when someone replies to this thread?". This question is in red type.
However, when I clicked on "I Agree" (to post the reply), I was taken to a blank page with only this message, "We were not able to add it to your "Watched Posts".
Please advise.
Thank you!
EC: Hi Wendy,
We are checking on that! Thank you so much for letting us know.

I have seen this small font occur on some of my posts and I don't think it is caused by me changing my font size, because when the reply window opens, all of the print that is already there is smaller than usual and everything I type goes in smaller also. It only happens once in awhile and usually gets corrected in time.

EC: Hi Jeanette,
Are you referring to the automated Google ads that show up on the articles? Please send us a screenshot or the URL to the ad so we know what you are referring to and can block those ads from showing up on the site. We don't see any quit smoking ads. You can try clearing your history and cache and reloading Earth Clinic and see if that helps. Alternatively, view the site using a private/incognito window on your browser.
Thanks for pointing this out. Yes, sorry, there is a page but we forgot to add .html at the end of it in 2015 when we created the question page so it led to a 404 page not found error message.
Fixed! Here is the URL and perhaps some readers will contribute more remedies for you!

Colloidal Gold
EC: Hi Debbie,
We're still unpacking from our CT to NC move, so probably in another few days. You can still buy Earth Clinic CG and CS on Amazon. There are 16 oz colloidal gold and 4 oz double potency colloidal gold bottles in Amazon's stock.
We expect to be up and running next week and will reopen the online shop.
Thanks for asking!

Thank you for the feedback. We have received a bunch of emails about this issue today.
Google recently rolled out vignette ads for desktop users and it appears you can't close some of their ads. This is happening to many websites, not just EC, so we need to alert them to the issue.
Also, we have a separate folder for mobile users. It's great except that things get complicated when we're trying to send people to a particular post instead of just an article.
We will look into both issues. In the meantime, if anyone else is having issues with those google ads, please add a reply to this email
We've had Google ads on the site since 2002, by the way. We were one of Google's first ad publishers if you can believe it!
Those ads have helped pay for the cost of the site, writers, moderators and programmers over the years.
New Updates
EC: Hello, thank you for the feedback. The programmer made changes to the desktop design yesterday, so hopefully it will be easier to find menu AND the 2 most popular categories, ailments and remedies.
We need to stay current and update the design from time to time, sorry!

EC: Hello!
Not sure where you found that URL, but it's missing /cures/. Here is the correct URL to Art's article, which you can also find under our ailments index page under Memory Loss - Art Solbrig.

EC: Hi Joe,
We can't replicate that error message on Chrome. Can you please email us (staff @ earthclinic.com) a screenshot of the error and the URL? Thank you.

EC: Hi Anathea, thank you for alerting us to the issue about a sub-page with no posts. We've alerted the programmer to the issue. You can also view Bill's remedies by clicking on his name in another section on our table of contents box on either the right or left column in the meantime. Here is a link to Bill's remedies for desktop computers.

I saw someone posted the same problem.
Does anyone else have this problem?
EC: Hi, can you please tell us what you searched for (exact phrase or topic)? That will be very helpful. We need to keep tweaking it when the key words don't display results Also, did you then try the Google link and get results? Thanks.
Search
EC: On a desktop computer, "neck pain remedy" displayed a lot of results but it took a second or two for our database to collect the results. Please try again. We'll ask the programmer to add a spinning button so people know it's in progress. Thanks for the feedback!
