I can’t seem to be able to add friends or reply to comments on the forums. Anyone else had this and know how to fix it? Thanks

    I’ve noticed that in the last few days I’m randomly logged out so I need to log in again to see the ability to respond on the forums. I’ve now tried adding friends but I’d suspect that’s connected to the same issue.

    you just replied to a comment on the forums.

    to add friends, whomever you're trying to add has to accept.

    I don't have an add friend button either. People keep referring me to stickies on the getting started board, but I don't see any stickies and there is a whole thread about what a mistake it was to take down the stickies so, I think stickies are done for.....

    Cwolfman- I don’t have an option to send friend requests, and I can’t reply directly to you using your reply. Seems like I’m not the only one

    Hi everyone,

    As a moderator I can't fix login or posting problems but I can try to help point you in the right direction.

    Here's a link to the FAQ about adding friends in case you're not sure how to do that:
    https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/12032

    People do have to accept though, so even if you send a request it may never get a response. You do not need the person's email address in order to add them as a friend on MFP.

    When you say you can't reply to a thread, what do you mean? Do you get an error message? Everyone here has replied to a thread so at least this one worked. :)

    In terms of stickies, they are still there. They're called Announcements but they are pinned to the top of the section like a sticky. Here's a screen shot of the announcements/stickies at the top of this section (Getting Started):

    When you encounter issues are you on the app or on the desktop version?

    Have a great day,
    Sugar

    It has to be a log in issue. On the website I'm logged out almost every time I navigate to another page, primarily using FF. The upside is that I don't have to re-type my info to log in, just click the login button :)

    I've seen this happen before and it will likely be cleared up soon enough. It always has been in the past.
