    It's an MFP challenge -- if you log 15 meals in the time period of the challenge, you earn a badge and are entered to win a gift card. If you are on your app, you should see a "Challenge" section in your menu (at least, I see it here on my Android phone).

    I didn't see it until I updated my app to the most recent version.

    There's no pending update and no options behind the dots. I've been challenged by a friend but when I click on it nothing happens :confused:

    I can't see it either. Is it only for people in the US?

    I just pulled up the rules and it looks like the challenges are for people in the US only.

    I'm in the same boat, being Canadian I can't join either. I have to say that really ticks me off! I've been a faithful mfper for years, have a 650 day streak right now and love to interact with friends & love challenges, having things like this only open to Americans is not fair to the rest of us.

    It has nothing to do with fairness, it's legal mumbo jumbo.

    Is it really a big deal, anyhow?

    exactly. Its tough enough to run a country wide give away in the US due to having to comply with 50 different sets of laws (at least most of them are somewhat similar). Start tacking on different country laws and it just gets that much more complicated.

    Having worked with a few people who ran events like this they would love to do wider reaching events, but the legal complications make it not worth it.

    Also keep in mind - things like new features get rolled out across countries; it's a huge technical obstacle too. I'm sure it will be rolled out, let us Americans get all the glitches fixed!!

    I emailed MFP & they said at this time it is only open to the residents of the US but they are hoping to open it up to other countries soon.
