The small fonts I am seeing in recent longer posts utilizing a 24 inch monitor are hard to read and I have decided to skip those reads or I will strain my eyes further. I can only imagine attempting to read those post will a cell phone which would be impossible for me.
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.
jeanette,
I haven't seen such ads when on the EC website.

I tried to submit this new request with screen prints about a BROKEN LINK when clicking on Latest Posts on Main page.
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.
Hi Everyone,
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".

On the Latest Posts page the Editor's Choice icon (Lugol's Iodine for Covid-19 Fri, 23 Oct 20 10:07:26 -0700)
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
Sexy new header, but the menu is fabulously invisible ;)
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
You're welcome, EC.
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
Thank you, EC, and you're welcome.
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!!

Hi EC!
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.

Hi Deirdre,
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.

I typed Motherwort in search several times….nothing.

Your site connections to other quit smoking sites is not good - fix https!!!!! people want trust and use your site!!!
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.
Hi Marta,
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
When will Colloidal Gold be back in stock?
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!

My email goes to a FULL PAGE AD which I do NOT see anyway out.I do not see an "X" to exit. The email to me about sea salt and lungs I did not read anything about sea salt on the page it sent me. Your emails are messed up. Please check into this. "google ads.g.doubleclick.net" I enjoy reading your web site, But this is really irritating. I did not see a different email address to write you about this.
Hi Susan,
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
I love your site. it was so easy to use, but now you changed the format and it is so difficult to find the information needed... Hope you pay attention to this the next time you make changes! Have a nice day!!!
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!
Updates
I am unable the read comments on all ailments section. I checked remedies and pets sections and they are OK. Only on ailments section. The web page is shifting to the left when loading.....
EC: Yes, see our post from yesterday evening. Hopefully, the programmer will fix it soon!

I wanted to read Bill Thompson's remedy for gum recession but when the page came up, it was blank. Can you tell me how to locate it? Thanks so much. Ann
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 typed a search query on the box "Search Earth Clinic", nothing happened.
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
My search was: neck pain remedy. I tried several times.
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!

Upon typing an ailment in SEARCH EARTH CLINIC, nothing pops up. Anyone else having problems with the site?
EC: We just tried the search box at the top and results popped up on our search terms. Sent your request to the programmer to check.
If anyone else is having this issue, please reply. If you are using something other than the search bar, please let us know.
When typing anything into the search bar, nothing appears. I've tried 'sore throat' and a host of other ailments - but nothing. Help!
EC: Our programmer thinks it might be your cache. Please try clearing your history/cache or using a different browser. Let us know if it works!

Hi EC: whenever I submit a post on your site it's always difficult to find my response if I don't remember to check ASAP. Is there any shortcut to locate my response if it's a few days later? Please advise.. thanks
EC: Hi Lauren,
When you login into your account, you'll find 2 sections with your posts and links to all your posts.. one is Feedback and the other is Q&A. Otherwise, yes, impossible to find if you don't have an account set up.

For years I've gone on EC site, hit the menu to click on the alpha menu and scrolled down to whatever problem I was looking to remedy with others helpful suggestions. Now I can't figure out what the heck you've done and your redesigned page is a mess and no longer user friendly…what a pity! Guess it's goodbye to what used to be a great holistic helpful site…now it's totally foreign.
