Questions?

Start a new thread (or new discussion) under "discussions" with your name in the title. This is where you can name your challenge.

You can track your goals in your thread by editing your thread. I personally write the date of tracking too, as it is not automatically done.

    Beccaboo, I need you help. I am confused by threads vs discussion vs post vs comments. Sorry I might just be too literal. For example it says to leave a comment but then says Post Reply. If I hit the plus sign I go somewhere else. I’d like to learn how to set up my own “challenge” thread? Discussion? Whatever it’s called. Can you help?

    You can hit "new discussion" under discussion and then I would suggest your name be in the title of the discussion so that can be your own thread to track your challenge if you like.

    After that thread is set up, you can hit your thread to highlight it, and then choose edit to add to your thread. (You find edit when you press 3 dots on the top of the right hand side.) I date my edits as it doesn't appear to date it for me.

    I am a former Spark People member (before SP shut down) and their site was a lot different than this, so I am learning too. It is also different whether you are on the app or through the website.

    Let me know if this helps.

    I was just thinking that when I set up a thread for another person, they may not be able to edit it to add to it. I guess it's best to start your own thread for naming your challenge and tracking it.

    Are you in the MFP app on your phone or on the computer website to access the group?

    Thank you for responding. Mostly I am accessing MFP on my iPad via the app. Usually over my morning coffee. I am in Atlanta so on Eastern standard time. So I will attempt to start my own Thread tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.

    By the way, I can still start a thread for you, and then instead of worrying about editing the thread, you can just post a reply on your own thread. That way, the page displays the date of each post and you can track your goals there. 😄

    I have started a thread aka discussion for my gym visit challenge. Let me know if I should do it differently but I think it will work.

    @sis631 the plus sign that you are hitting is the link for the app for exercise food etc. Yes it will take you directly to your entry diary. Its most annoying when it manages to be at the same place as the comment box. I try to remember to raise the box higher up the page to avoid it. Notice I said "try to remember" lol.
