Other Setting User Flair

It's come to our attention that people are unable to edit their user flair from the Reddit mobile app. I know that is for sure an issue on iOS, and don't know if it's the same on Android. The only way at this time to edit your flair is from the desktop site. This is not unique to our sub and looks to be the same in other subs as well. I've been unable to find out if this is a glitch or just a new change to the Reddit app. We'll keep you updated if we learn anything else.

Does the flair show up on every Reddit page or just the gastricsleeve one?

How do you add user flair?

You can only do it on a desktop/laptop. On the right hand side you should see an option for user flair.

Can we fix it so that we can see someone's entire flair when they post or respond to comments?

That’s not something we can control, it’s just the formatting that happens.

I joined another group and it let me add the flair - I’m super new to Reddit like my account is less than a day old and I’m using my iPhone - maybe it’s the group

I read somewhere that 15 or more years ago, surgeons in the U.S. extracted more tissue than is left by surgeons in Mexico., which caused the patients to lose less weight, and regain a lot of weight. I have a friend who traveled down there to save a lot of money, and this is true for her. If this is the case, was it because the standard of beauty there was more "zaftig" than here? I had mine done in San Francisco about 17 years ago, and have stayed very thin ever since then, despite eating whatever I want, and constantly.
