I am really enjoying this site a lot, but I wanted to mention a few things I would love to see to make it even better, feel free to chime in.


1.A like button

2. I would love to get notifications on topics and friend's posts I have responded to

3. It would be nice to be able to find posts and groups a little easier

I am sure there is more but I wanted to mention this while I was thinking about it. I love all the support we get on our journeys. This is truly a life saver for many so thank you!!

    I agree, all of those would be nice, especially a like button - and notifications!

    would like a like button
  • I want more customizable reports! I love to see the data I put into the system (weight, nutrition) in a format that makes sense to me. A customizable date range would be great, for a start! That way I can look at the changes over time more easily. It's really motivating to me to see those kinds of changes, and MFP just doesn't have it!

    yes customize reports, I would love that too. Now I can only see my iron take separate from everything else as well as cholesterol. It would be nice to be able to pick and choose what I want to see in the reports. I hope admin is reading this.

    They'd be more likely to read it if you put it in the right forum.

    Why?

    Good point! Getting healthy is very important - a like button is completely unneccesary!

    A way to customise your profile- a bit like what myspace used to be like!


    Also a block button! (On profiles, not having to jump through hoops and have a message off said person to block 'em)

    And YESH to notifications!!!

    Notifications are a must, as soon as I went past 20 friends it started to get a bit difficult to follow!

    A friend chat would be nice as well

    YES I DO WANT IT TO BE MORE LIKE FACEBOOK, got a problem... then you'll need to answer to Betsy

    Really the only comparison to FB you could make is if it got a like button

    Notifications and other such things have been around since the social networking dawn of time

    Myspace
    Bebo
    Piczo
    Etc etc

    I really do not like the idea of adding a "Like" button, with that button it will become like facebook, you will lose most of the discussions that happens on posts as people will just like it instead of commenting and, sometimes getting into a conversation, we are here to motivate ourself and others, adding a like button will remove a lot of that.

    with regards to a better forum system, I agree with that, I am used to this layout however I know a lot of people have issues with it as it is tricky to keep track of what you have posted if you do not know where to go.

    As for a chat system, I would like to see that but it could bring in spamming issues, maybe we should set up an IRC channel?

    YES!
  • Yes! The notifications! I never know if someone post on my profile or to one of my post!

    Ability to see user photos from the MFP iPhone app. Right now all you get is a extremely small thumbnail photo, can't see the rest of the photos a user has uploaded.

    This is a great site for what it is and does. The best thing is that it's free! I like that it's not another version of FB. I'd rather it stay as is than to see them start charging to use it like other similar sites.

    Yeah, I agree with you! I dont know how many times "like" replaces someone commenting. I would like the notifications and chat. But I dont think spamming would be a big issue if you only add people you know arent spammers.
  • my iphone does notify me if someone posts on my posts, but i agree a better notification system would be better.

    I'd like better report functioning.

    The reports suck.
  • #1 I would like it if my food diary worked it has been broken for a week now and that is very frustrating.
    #2 I would love to have instant messaging - that would be awesome.
    #3 notifications would be nice - and not by email. But it would be nice to be notified when someone posts on my profile

    I would like it if it were possible to switch between calories and kJ. Most of the labels on food in South Africa is in kJ and when I want to enter a product a always have to calculate the amount of calories first. It would be awesome if you can switch between the two.

    Not a chat room, just a friend chat (like facebooks)... chat rooms are always fun for a lil bit but the novelty wears off and they become deserted!
