Types of Posts in the MyFitnessPal Community

durden

The MyFitnessPal community utilizes four types of posts;

Discussions:
Discussions are the default type of post in the MyFitnessPal Community. If you’re unsure what kind of Post to make, a Discussion is a safe bet. Replies to a Discussion are listed in a linear chronological post order.

Ideas:
Ideas are used to submit feature suggestions to MyFitnessPal, and can only be posted in the Feature Suggestions and Ideas Category. Once created, other members can “upvote” Ideas to show their support.

Questions:
Questions are great tools to use when looking for a specific answer to your query rather than an open-ended discussion about a topic. Unlike Discussions, the Original Poster (OP) of a Question can select a Reply as the “Best Answer”. Best Answers are shown at the top of the Post so that users with the same question can easily find their answers later.

Polls:
Polls allow members to poll the community for their opinion on the posed question. In addition to choosing an option, users can also leave comments to expand the conversation.
