Why doesn't this post to the news feed?

I don't actually care if it does or not, but I'm just curious why, when I create an exercise and log it (because I can't find anything that matches in the database), it doesn't post to the news feed, but if I log an exercise using a preexisting entry, it does? Thanks

Hmmm... MFP being MFP?

I'll take a guess. I assume the custom created exercises are stored in a database table that is only available to your account. Whereas, the public Exercise Database entries are stored in a public table. It could be that the software script that runs only pulls from the public table when posting to the news feed.

This is kind of what I figured.

What's curious, though, is that in the past I've created entries that are now in my "recent exercises" list and do post. But I notice the last couple I've created aren't on the list. Makes me think something is different, which as has been said, may just be one of those adorable MFP quirks

BTW, I'm not engaged in some bizarre exercise regimen no one's ever heard of In the past, I've made entries using a specific dvd title instead of the generic "low-impact aerobics", and the other day I made an entry for raking leaves.
