If someone doesn't use the forums...

... is there any way to connect with their profile?

Trying to coach a couple of long-time users on how to still connect via messenger and posting to each other's profiles, but they have never (and likely will never) engaged in the community forums. If someone has never posted in the forums, are they essentially invisible? Or is there a way to access their profile directly?


Update - got my answer. If you give someone your activity feed link, they can access it directly using that link, and drop you a note or see the updates you have posted there.

You can get your activity feed link by going to https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/profile, clicking on "Activity", and copying the link from the address bar.

(Just keep in mind that it's public, not friends-only.)

I see your activity feed/Community profile, yes.

There's a friend list here:

You can send PM's, but if you want to post to each other's profiles, that's no longer possible.

There are the activity feeds where you can post to each other, but those are part of the Community pages.

Yeah, I know that... I'm trying to figure out a way to do what MFP hasn't and interlink them.

Does this link bring you directly to my community profile, and can you see it? https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/profile/activity/6913781/KareninCanada

Okay, thanks - that'll work. It's a sorry substitute for the newsfeed, but it'll work for this particular application.

MFP likely doesn't care, but based on this morning's convos with some older members, the members who used the newsfeed but don't use the forums and hence didn't see any updates about the impending removal and have no idea what's going on are grossly underrepresented in the posts about its removal.

LOL I actually totally overcomplicated that. You can get there just using https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/profile/ and tagging their username to the end of it.
