Well, isn't that special?

I see MFP has added both a "like" button and an "awesome" button on threads...
Maybe they could fix some of the reliability issues before they started adding new functions?

Yeah, this really is flawed software. If it wasn't for this group I'd be long gone.4

One would think a big company like UnderArmor would put the $$ in place to ensure they have a superior website and app. I guess quality isn't that important to them after all?2
-
I guess not. The database is complete garbage, and the bugs never seem to get fixed. They seem to keep adding flawed 'enhancements'. If I was still tracking my macros, I'd go back to my Fitday account.2

Toooooo Funny!!!! They need to get the basics down first...........I'll probably use them though........LOL
The only time I've seen worse software was at the Washington Post. I was a regular commenter there for years and finally just gave up................plus I got tired of politics.........hehehe!1 -
Agreed. More basics. Maybe the emoticons are easier than an overhaul.

It's just so awesomely likable. But some days I can't even get the like button or comments to work when I want to applaud one of you on the newsfeed. It would be good if this site loaded a but better. I wonder if those who pay for this site experience the same difficulties.1

@Nikki, I have a couple of friends who paid for it and they still have the same issues the rest of us have, at least they did last time I checked. I'm not about to pay for it unless it becomes more stable. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind, the cost wouldn't really break the bank but I kind of wonder what they've done with the money......LOL1

I have no intention of going "premium" but I am naturally curious of what (if any) advantages are offered.0

I have heard that Going Premium doesn't fix the bugs.0

I don't have premium either, but I believe with it you can track your macros. It will tell you which food for the day was highest in carbs, fat, protein...
And it kills the Ads.0 -
I agree completely. There are so many bugs on this site, some days I want to rage quit. I stay because of the people, not the site.2
-
Apparently the paid version sort of lets you set the macros in grams instead of percents.

I am free. And optimistic that at some point something changes so that this will load better.0

Goodness, it's been 10 years since this came out??

In the almost 5 years that I have been here, it has gotten buggier, not better.0
-
It has its problems, that's for sure. But I have to say, I am MUCH better off with it than without it. I know how hard it is to manage IT issues...especially with the usage MFP gets. And they are dealing with international issues, I only have one small rural school to keep running! So, yes, it is frustrating and I hope it gets better, but just don't take it away.7

Started with MFP Jan 2012, got lazy on logging in 2013, logged most of 2014, lazy in 2015, back on the wagon since 12/19/2015.
Committed to keeping it going now that I'm semiretired.0 -

Just celebrated my 1600th day so I guess it's closer to four.0

Y'know, I used to see a lot of people saying "if only there were a 'like' button" - especially on the success stories forum, but also some others . . . so I think they were trying to be responsive to requests.
That said - and I make this remark as someone who spent 30 years doing IT support - this is far from the most bug-free software I've ever used.
Software is harder than non-specialists tend to believe - think of it is architectural design and construction of very large but invisible buildings! - but I think the quality assurance here could be more effective. I wonder if they low-ball pay or otherwise manage things in ways that cause high turnover . . . .
It is very, very common, BTW, for management to press programmers to deliver new features, in preference to making existing functions work more reliably. This is true in a lot of settings.3 -

I've seen it the other way too. Some programmers want to impress everyone with their latest gee-whiz and prioritize that over the basic functionality... or refuse to do hotfixes on existing software, preferring to rollout a new version which (tada!) turns out to be as full of bugs as the previous one...
I've even seen one wizard who completely ignored the requirements document, blew off the time constraints, refused to add additional resources, dismissed all feedback in alpha testing and then got upset when his pet project was given to someone else. I wasn't managing that project but when my peer asked me to brainstorm on how to get a beta out, I suggested (and he agreed) putting someone else as the lead.1 -
I've been with mfp over 2 years & in some ways the site has got much better & in other ways frustrating.. None the less I'm sticking with it.. It's been a great support.. Every day I log on now. Thank you to u all for your support2

I think I prefer it with less features. Remember the days before Like was added? And you had to actually write comments? We had much more to do with each other then.0

Sometimes, I don't have anything to say... (stop laughing... ) so the "like" button comes in handy.7
