I have a suggestion for your search function above. It is very hard to plow through the oodles of information, especially ingredients in products which change from month to month. Over on Chowhound.com they also had this problem; you'd search for a restaurant and it would give you posts from 8 years ago first. When I search this forum sometimes the first result is something from 2004 which is obviously out of date (product ingredients changed, restaurant closed, etc.). Chowhound changed their search so you can list the results by date, see post here.

It would be sooo nice to sort by date so I don't get info from before the change in the FDA labelling laws.

I have one more suggestion, mostly for the ingredients/products boards and the newly diagnosed boards. Too often the 'newbies' post the same thing over and over, 'can I eat maltodextrin?', 'my son/daughter was just diagnosed, where do I go for help?'. etc. Can some forums have 'stickies' with a FAQ? The mods could keep them up to date and then the boards wouldn't be full of the same questions over and over.

That being said, i LOVE your board and the hard work you guys do. I often visit here for info on food for my son. Thanks a million!!

Great suggestions! I feel exactly the same.

While we're on topic, it always seems bothersome & avoidable to have so many results' urls as the "lofiversion", despite my not using the "lofiversion".

Oh yeah. I remember the hue and cry (sp?) when that disappeared.

hmm, note to self - learn to use other features on this forum.
