Yes, I have the same problem in the website. I am trying to modify a portion and I get a message that I don't have the right to do it. Glad that you posted about the problem because I was trying to find a link to get in touch with the IT people that can fix it.1 -
I also can't edit an entry right now. I put in a serving of something in advance as a placeholder and when I got the exact measurement I tried to adjust it and I can't. Really frustrating. It stopped working for me about three hours ago.
Edit to add: I'm using the webpage from my iPad. The iPad app works, for already logged items, but I can't edit and old out of date entry.0 -
Yeah, me too.0
-
Same, need to change some info on yesterday and it won't let me.0
-
Same here. I need to change some info now that I have the exact quanity. I tried to adjust it and I can't. Been like this for 3/4 hours now. The way past it is to re enter the item and delete the inaccurate one.0
-
I submitted a bug report right now.3
-
Ah, yes! It's been going in since last night. I thought it would be fixed by now.1
-
still not fixed. I noticed it last night at dinner time, trying to adjust amounts in my supper. Hope they fix it soon. so annoying.1

Still does not work, since yesterday0

What link did you use to send the report? I was looking for an easy way to do it but since the format was changed a couple of years ago, things are more complicated, at least for me. I don't like the new format.1 -
It's via "Contact Us" down at the bottom of the page, and a couple clicks from there you can find a bot chat. That sent me a confirmation email, and then a person (allegedly...) replied to it with the workaround of deleting and re-entering, and said they're working on it.
I linked to this thread when I contacted them.1 -

Deleting and re-entering is a workaround for editing an amount for a correct item already logged, but I've also discovered that I can't edit incorrect database entries when wanting to log them for the first time. The only workaround for that is creating a new item, but we really don't need a billion and one duplicate entries when I should just be able to edit, so I'm not going that route. Ugh. I've got notes all over the place waiting to be added when this fixed.0 -
Don't you have the phone app? I prefer the site, but it's another option.0

Yes, but there are two separate editing issues currently. Editing an already logged item and editing an incorrect database item. I can use the app to adjust the quantity of an already logged item (or just use the delete and relog work around on the website), but the app is still no help for editing an incorrect existing database entry. When it's working, if you do it on the website, you immediately have a corrected entry. I tried from my app, and while it let me go through the motions of correcting the database item, when I finished, it said something along the lines of "thanks for reporting this, well look it over and get back to you". That doesn't help.0 -

Just enter the new food (I'm saying that with a wink and a shrug....) I do it all the time because reasons, I don't even care if there are 200 of something already in there.
If you don't click on "Save to public database" (or whatever that says) we won't see it. Not only that but "editing" also creates a new database item. The old one is still there.
In the olden days every single item got added, which is how the database originally got so big, I think. Plus I bet some people think they themselves won't even be able to see it if they don't click "Public."
I don't even care about the 97 eleventy million database entries. That's MFP's problem. I also use a personal identifier in the title of the foods I add myself...that makes it so much easier to find the ones I entered.
MFP is glitchy. No way around that. Still works better than any other free logging site (for me.) I've looked. It usually takes anywhere from a day to a week to fix stuff like this. This is a pretty big glitch so I hope/think they'll fix it.0 -
72 hours and still not fixed. Disappointing.1
-
I just had to try five times to log in.
"Recaptcha" something something...
I did finally get logged in, but that woulda been baaaaad.
I know no one will see this thread who can fix anything, but I do feel better getting to whine about it.2 -
The other day I got a captcha, I think it may have been here but maybe not.
"Click on every square with a motorcycle."
It was literally every single square.1 -
It's an annoying new error for sure. Esp for those of us who prelog and then tweak. I have put a lot of tickets in before and those are almost as annoying. We see your problem and we will close the ticket now. They never actually promise to fix anything or ack that there is an issue. Instead of that they ask what platform, is your software up to date, are you stupid etc... which is almost worse than living with the current bug until it's fixed. One of these days a few of the "help coders" are actually going to use MFP and then maybe there will be more understanding of the bugs and a better response than just to close tickets in 48 hrs and not when they are fixed.4
