IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT MFP . . .
IT WOULD BE: _______________________________??
~ okay, so i know people will say "MFP is a FREE app, so quit bit%#ing!!" ~ i'm not dissing MFP ~ i love it ~ that's why i'm still here 180+ days later; AND
~ others will say "go to facebook!" and to them i would say "i'm already there, sweety, but they won't let me log my food and exercise!!"
BUT, if i was ever asked to join in a brainstorming session on how to improve it, this would be my list:
(1) add a 'LIKE' button (or better yet something more original like a 'YOU ROCK' button or a 'YOU'RE KICKING YOUR OWN *kitten*!!' button) so that i can cheer on all my fellow mfp-ers on their motivational, inspirational and amazing progress;
(2) add the ability to attach a photo or link directly to our news feed so that our friends can see it without necessarily having to go to our individual profiles
(3) add some additional emoticons.
WHAT WOULD YOU ADD TO THE BRAINSTORMING SESSION??
(ps: this is just for fun! i
mfp and am not going anywhere!)

^^^^ I totally agree lol.
I would add a chat like facebook, as I know alot of user inbox frequently, it would make it easier on them.
I like everyone elses Ideas too, it just needs tweaking to be perfect0 -
the same topics for the same matter
"what hrm should i buy"
"i wanna get rid of my thighs"
how can i get rid of belly fat
"does lifting 20lb db means i am lifting heavy"0 -
Being able to access the forums through the phone app.
YES! This is what I came here to say. I love reading the forums but I use MFP on my phone 90% of the time.0 -
Notifications for posts on your wall etc because sometimes I miss them0
-
~ these are all great ~ and some of them i hadn't thought of! i think my biggest one is the photo thing ~ i only put pics in a thread once because it was such a difficult, clumsy process . . .
or maybe it's just me?? LOL0 -
~ and sometimes i miss the notifications, too ~ and then i feel badly if someone has commented or asked me a question and i haven't responded ~0

they really need to change the create your own recipe section. You should be able to change your amounts w/o having to delete and re-search for it, like you can in your food diary.0

i need a farm and a new cafe..... lol!!!!!!!!!:laugh:0

I wish on the phone app you could see the confirmations - that would help when I log via phone which is often!0

This completely!!! And the forums via phone.
Also, I'd like to be able to see the pie chart for my macros online like I do on my Android.0 -
Being able to see which posts on the forums I've already read or commented on! So annoying when I click on a post then realise I already read it earlier in the day!0
-
I'd like the ability to time stamp meals. For those who log before or after, the time stamp could be editable. Right now I add meal times to the notes section, but I'd love to see it integrated into the system.
And I give another YES vote to accessing forums from the mobil app.0 -
I would like to have my favorite foods/recent foods & recipes in alphabetical order0

YES YES and YES!
2. I also agree with the forums not accessible through the phone app. It makes me sad.
3. I wish they would go through and delete the 500 different versions of the same item in the database. It takes FOREVER to look through it all and decide which one is right and which is not, and then have a separate section for home-made items. So depending on what you are looking for either store-bought or someone else's home-made similar to yours (or a friends)!!!!0 -

It takes me forever to find foods that i don't usually eat on a daily basis, but have at one time or another.0 -
App forum access, notifications, and a like button.0
-
Make it easier to add photos0
-
For both the website and the phone app, I should be able to type in a few letters of the food and it should show me a list of matching items that I have used previously. Sorting through the "frequent" and "recent" lists are a pain. If I want to eat eggs for dinner, I should be able to enter "egg" and it will show me the eggs and egg whites that I normally use when I eat breakfast. It would make the food tracking so much easier!0

NOT the "like" button. This would just start a whole system where people would mindlessly like your diaries and workouts. You need feedback about these kinds of things (and its ok to not comment if you're busy...)
I would like to see a notification system though. If you have more than 50 friends, you cannot keep track of what happened to your friends status you commented on and other stuff
And finally, I would love a voting system on users. So based on threads, you can downvote or vote up somebody if they're being helpful or just being a troll in usual. This system has been used alot and it helps people being helpful and also lets the general population know of the trolls/bas info givers0 -

Like the OP I think this is a great site, but no doubt it's going to change. Hopefully the suggestions made here will be taken on board, as even great sites can always be better. Anyway all good suggestions so far especially about deleting posts. About the only forum I know where you can't delete a post! I've thought of things previously but the only things that come to mind at the minute are
1. More stickies for FAQ.
2. More sub forums. For example I'd probably use the chat forums a bit more if it wasn't so full of threads like 'Rate the above poster for attractiveness'. Not saying there's anything wrong with those threads btw, but generally it feels more orientated towards teenagers and twentysomethings.0 -
Notifications!!!0

I would request that the exercise log can be added to and then completed in the same way the food diary is. That way exercises can be added to during the day.0

Access the boards on the Phone App!!!0
