    Probably not. As for the Ads, I have done something on this site that I have done nowhere else, I have actualy clicked on ads and bought stuff.
    :blushing: :laugh: Me too! Great make up ads, nail polish, shoes/boots and awesome clothing ads. Depending on what someone has Googled ...the above are the types of ads I get on here so I'm cool with it.:smokin: :bigsmile:

    Nice to know there's someone else that appreciates the great ads!:wink:

    No. There are several reasons.
    1) No notifications when a comment is posted.
    2) Inability to post photos to news feed
    3) Can not post links on my profile
    4) Can not post links others profiles
    5) Accuracy of calories burned
    6) Can not block users
    7) Many other reasons, but it is acceptably functional for what I need it to do.

    No. I'm too poor to pay for anything like this, and if MFP became unavailable for that reason, there are other free options.

    Reason #8) Can not delete stored foods or workouts

    nah I wouldn't, too many other options for tracking calories and stuff, plus the good ol notebook and doing old fashioned math. The ideas and stuff I get in the forums is nice, but I would still have pinterest and google for recipe ideas.

    No... because there are others that are still free. If I wanted to pay... I'd join Weight Watchers.

    Actually you can block users on the boards. Click the arrow under the users name and click on the block feature. When their posts show up it will show it as blocked with no name of user.

    Actually you can delete workouts if your list gets too long or you no longer do that particular workout.

    Now that I have been on here a while? Nope. I would just paper track. It would take a little extra on my part to figure out macro amounts and such, but definitely doable on my own.

    Before when I had no idea what would work for me? If wasn't an crazy amount, maybe for a month or two to figure out what worked for me, then I would cancel and paper track.

    The ads have nothing to do with my opinion. I actually like some of them!

    I wouldn't care as long as the website was still free. I don't use the app as often as the real website.

    Sure if the fee was reasonable, maybe $50-60/year. But, that's because I've been on here for five months already and am hooked. If they did charge, there'd have to be no ads and they'd have to make a number of improvements to make it worth it.

    I would like the site/ app to remain free but I would be willing to pay for an upgrade if I was able to receive notifications, allowed to post links/ pictures to my post, block ads, and possibly other add-ons.

    No. I would SparkPeople cause theirs is free and better. I love the thread here that's about it.

    To remove ads, I'd pay about $30 a year.

    I wouldn't pay for MFP, I would switch to Weight Watchers or look for another free site.

    Just use Firefox or Chrome with the Adblock Plus add-on. Doesn't cost anything. No more ads :happy:
