I attempted to log on last night: down for maintenance.
I attempted to log on this morning: down for maintenance.
I tried again about an hour later, and finally got into my dialy log.

Just NOW??? EVERYTHING in my daily log for the past 2 days (it's only my 3rd day) is GONE!

Very frustrated, and just about to dump this whole thing unless someone has an idea on how I can retrieve the past two days AND prevent all this from happening again!

    Also always take screenshots so, that you've a record if/when this; occurs & thus don't entirely, lose your; data!

    It told me that a few times today, but it's not a normal occurrence.

    Also, if your logging on your phone app and expect to see it on your desktop it doesn't always works that way. You may have logged it on your phone but the phone may not have connected instantly and is waiting for a better connection to update. Not saying that's what happen to you but things like this happen.

    Hey Lindie, this is very unusual, I only experienced the issues you're having today for a little bit, I just walked away and came to it later and it was fine. I'm sure they've fixed the issue.

    I've also noticed some sync/down issues with the site over the last two days. I've noticed that if you refresh a couple times you can usually get the request through. Based on the symptoms I'd guess they were having some issues with load-balancing or server clustering. Check back later to see if you got your last two days back, if it is a problem with clustering and you just started, your stuff may not have gotten sync'd properly, but could be recoverable.

    Overall I agree with the sentiments posted above, the site is usually very stable (and I'm Network/Cloud Engineer, so I'm usually very critical), you just had bad luck with your start time, don't give up on it.

    I have been on this site for years, and this morning was the ONLY time I have experienced it being down. This is a great site you should give a chance.

    Mine was down for maintenance for a LONG time yesterday, and also this morning. Often I log in and cannot access my page or diary but can access the forums. All this is very frequent. I don't have answers. I wish I did.

    This is not unusual. Under Armour bought MFP awhile ago. Since then, there have been a lot of issues. I've been on MFP for almost 4 years. Since UA has been 'in control' - there's been problems. I've logged tickets multiple times with Tech Support. They are not helpful. All I can say is - it's free - therefore I use it.

    Lol... when I discovered they were down for maintenance this morning, I fully expected to come back & find my news feed not working properly for 6 months, or some other major problem caused by something they "fixed" (hint:
    it's happened before!). It's a thing on MFP... you'll grow to love it (or at least stop pulling your hair out when it happens ;) )

    The website or you phone app? This might be related to your operating system updating. I have experienced no issues with MFP.

    It's free, so I deserve what I get. The site unstable from time to time - as is the app. Need to get used to it or don't use it.

    LOL - I think that's my first issue! Still going to blame my outdated browser.

    A very rare occurrence.
    Patience. Don't give up. You know what you have done for 3 days, if you stayed within your goals, no big deal. Carry on from here.
    I have never looked back at my previous days food, or exercise. Been on here since 12/26/16 and I am losing steadily.
    It will be ok, you'll see.

    Thank you, everyone (almost everyone) for your suggestions and info re this site. Yes, it is free, but that doesn't mean I should lose data and as far as maintenance goes, ita, but it would be nice to know somehow that it wasn't just an errant message I received when trying to log onto my food diary, esp when other parts of this site were still working. I can't begin to think how frustrating it would be to spend a month on here tracking on a food diary only to have it disappear one day...that was my fear. I'm using my computer, which is absolutely up to date and reliable, so I didn't understand why I would be having issues with this site.

    I'll try again from today on and see what happens in the next few days; I agree it's a helpful site and all your responses just confirms how active the boards are here and how (mostly) helpful you all are. There's always one who seems to want to be negative, unfortunately.

    Thank you again for your helpful responses....I shall persevere! :)

    In response to NEEDTOBEFIT.....obviously we've never met so I don't know how you can form such a fast opinion of my motives. I'm 67 years old and have dieted before, very successfully! Don't presume to know whether it's the site I'm frustrated with OR my diet.
    If anything can to persuade me to drop off these boards it's rude comments such as yours, itsthehumitidy and jennifer_471.

    Even after the acquisition, MFP still has had control of the forums. What you are noticing (probably) is when they switched base platforms to Vanilla, since the old platform was unable to be maintained.
