Letters And Numbers:
Right now in the forums when you quote a post, it stacks multiple quotes on top of each other unless the user manually edits. This can lead to having to scroll through huge text chains, or manually edit, and sometimes the whole thing just breaks depending on how one person in the chain edited their post for readability.

Would it be possible to have the quote button only copy the new text in the post you’re quoting, and not the other quotes in the chain? I think that would be more of a web forum convention.

Munchies:
Either this or a collapsible reply chain

Quoting this to demonstrate the problem!

Hello. I need some help by experienced gainers and feeders. What is the best way to eat big amount of food? And main question is: Is better to consume food fast or slow? Like if I can eat more food when I’ll be eat fast or slow. And how many fats do you have in your diet daily? And if you have some another tips please tell me.

I'm not really interested in blame or anything, though I suppose I do feel a bit guilty and responsible. I really want to help him figure out what he wants to do because I think it could be fun in either direction. He's mentioned him wanting to lose weight might being fun (size difference is something we both enjoy) but if he doesn't mind slipping on some extra pounds mutual gaining could be fun too.

I just don't want his decision to be based on what he thinks I want, because I'm genuinely not interested in telling him what to do with his body.

So I've been aware I've had this fetish for decades, but I wasn't really in a position mentally or lifestyle-wise to feel comfortable committing to it until about half a year ago. I have a very great relationship where we are very open about our feelings, wants, etc. When I told my partner that I was interested in gaining some weight, he was actually very excited. He said I'd be really hot with some extra weight and he's been sure to remind me of this ever since.

But this topic isn't about my gain, really.

So since I'm trying to gain, I've relaxed my diet a bit. I've made my meals generally larger and I have whatever snacks and drinks I want. Only thing is, so has my partner. If I have a snack, he does too. If I have an extra soda, so does he. Now, he's not wanting to gain weight. He's told me so many times. I've made it clear I want him whatever shape or size he wants to be, and I never want him to feel pressured to gain because of my fetish because he's already hot to me.

Since I know he has a tendency to "eat his feelings," I checked in with him to make sure he was feeling okay. He said he's feeling great. He has noticed his increased snacking too, and he said he's figured out he really follows my lead on how to gauge how much to eat. I laughed and told him, "Well, if you eat like someone who's trying to gain weight (me), you're gonna gain weight." He laughed too and told me he was going to start tracking his intake better.

Well that lasted about...a week. I bought a box of snack cakes from the store and he was sure to grab some snacks for himself. He's also taken to jiggling himself absentmindedly, and last night while we were laying in bed he puffed his stomach out and rubbed it, saying "man, I can get this big, huh." It's clear that although I've maybe gained a little more than a pound for my efforts, he's put on more.

Again, he is well aware of what I like, and I love that he's willing to do stuff I like. I just don't know where it leaves me, you know? He says he doesn't want to gain weight, but he seems to also be happy gaining it. I just want to make sure he's doing this for the right reason, because I really, really just love HIM, and no shape he makes his body will change that. I also want to make sure he doesn't just put on a bunch of weight accidentally and then feel bad about it. So I don't know where it leaves me. I want to help him do what he wants, but it's clear he doesn't know what that is, and I am doing my best to make it clear I have no expectations/desires either way.

I think my only real solution is to just let him gain weight and see how he feels about it, but I don't want him to feel bad or guilty about that either if it were to happen. One of his favorite accomplishments in his life was losing weight and being in shape and I don't want to feel like I'm sabotaging that.

AskDrFeeder:
I'm not dogmatic about any of this. Most of my advice on my old site was the best I could come up with 16 years ago.

Back then, there was very little info on feedism and most of that was really bad. (Many didn't even believe female feedists existed--they thought there were only predatory male feeders and their victims. At the same time, some feeders WERE predatory (still are!). And some feedists attacked me for even suggesting that such feeders existed or that there could ever be any downsides to feedism.)

I'd be astonished if no progress had been made since then.

My site was a strange animal. I originally meant it to be entertainment, but then I started getting some serious emails from people struggling with challenges related to feedism. I tried to step up my game and give them good advice. I believe I did pretty well, but of course it wasn't always perfect. Whose advice is? Anyway, I got a lot of positive feedback about the advice I did give.

As I said there was very little information back then. For awhile there I was getting more email than I could answer!

But after awhile I was not the only game in town, and people could get much broader advice and personal stories than I could ever provide. So I was happy to retire the site and let others take over. Occasionally I stick my oar in to current conversations, but even these days I am not necessarily right, and even my better advice does not apply to everyone.

But even these days there is almost no hard data on feedism and we're all largely shooting in the dark. And there's still a lot of bad advice out there. For example, I talked to one woman a couple of years ago who want to gain but all the people she talked with were so full of crap she couldn't figure out what to believe. I was able to help her, and she's still grateful.

Feel free to challenge anything I've written. Honest discussion on these points is the only way forward. I'd rather you didn't trash me personally, but go ahead if you must.

Can we talk about how weight gain hits outtie belly buttons different? I've noticed that I have to press in further around it when I clean there, but the thick round nub still fills up the entire divoted area. It hasn't sunken any further back? I thought belly buttons increased in volume with weight gain, so an outtie would slowly get recessed as the space inside would overtake it, but not happening.

RegularGhost15:
I'm not using strawman, I'm directly responding to things you've said 🤷
There wasn't even any argument in my post, I was just answering your questions...?

Shadowbloat:
thanks @Munchies!

a quick search said that cheeses and yogurts were examples of fermented foods. i'm thinking vinegary things too like sauerkraut (probably perfect actually) or pickles might work? do you have any other specifics i should look at?

AskDrFeeder:
I'm not saying you should dump all your thin friends, just the fat-shaming ones.
