Please click "Groups" at the top of the page, and see if your group is on that page. We imported ALL content from the forums and groups, as far as we are aware...

WAY better spam prevention and controls here. We haven't been putting resources (other than manual labor) into solving the spam problem in forums for the past months because resources were going into this move, where spam tools are absolutely superior

Definitely just a workaround for phase one of the update.

You can also pull the BBCode from http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker/finished and paste that

There are a bunch of features (such as Likes) that we can turn on as we go forward. We've started with a smallish set of the available features so we can achieve stability before we start opening Pandora's box. We are encouraging feedback and suggestions in Website Suggestions topic.

Instructions for new-ish features are here: https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/topics/455848-forums-groups-and-blogs/articles

Here are some thoughts about the reason for the update, and our awareness of what is still on our to-do list: https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1691231-a-message-about-our-forum-update

Not possible to gaslight our perceptive community! Indeed, we've had these in a testing environment for a week or so, wanted to make sure there were no glitches when we launched. Having said that, if anything isn't working as it should, please post in our Tech Support forums and we'll get working on a fix!

Hi Folks, This thread is beginning to raise concerns in the community, and is being locked before more users cross the line set by Many points of view have been expressed, and if the OP needs further input from the community that can continue in Private Messages, on News Feeds, or in groups.

Thank you all so very much for your enthusiasm and willingness to spend some time with us. It looks like we've got a healthy collection of volunteers -- enough to fill our current available interview slots -- so i'm going to lock the thread for the time being. I will re-open the thread if we're unable to confirm…

I'll definitely see if the team running this pilot program is open to Skype meetings. Maybe for phase two if we expand the interview project? I can't say for sure, but I'll definitely pass the feedback along.

I believe the OP has had ample opportunity to receive feedback from the community, and the thread is diverging into less productive realms. Regards, Steven MyFitnessPal Staff

Folks, This has gotten out of hand and I think the OP has had enough opportunity t have her question answered. I'm locking this under the following guideline: Steven MyFitnessPal Staff

Hi Folks, I hope the OP has found the responses to this thread helpful. As discussions of this nature in the public forums can be have a triggering effect on others, I will be locking the thread at this point. Those who wish to continue supporting the OP, please take up the conversation via wall posts or PMs. And please…

Hi Folks, The original subject matter of the thread is not a violation of our guidelines, but the thread is becoming a target for sexual content, rather than just a place to identify one's sexuality. I recommend anyone interested in resuming this topic search the Groups area. There are several LGBT groups where this…

Hi Folks, This message was sent by a user impersonating a moderator using a secondary account. The account has been deleted. My apologies for any concern this incident has caused. Steven MyFitnessPal Staff

Hi Folks, I'm going to lock this down before it has a chance to go too far south. The guideline in question reads (relevant portion in bold): We prefer that threads discussing past conflicts on the forums be avoided. If a conflict does arrive (say between meat eaters and vegans) the best response is to alert the moderators…

Hi Folks, I do need to lock this down. Because our terms of use require users to be 18 or older, threads seeking advice on adapting MFP for those under 18 are not permitted. Please refer all questions concerning the nutritional needs of minors to the appropriate medical professionals. This thread may be removed at some…

Hi Folks, Just a word to clarify that we receive plenty of moderator reports that we simply dismiss. The question is never whether a user was offended by another's opinion, the question is always whether a topic violates one of our site's guidlines ( http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines ) We do our best to edit…

Folks, It's one thing to discuss and debate child-rearing strategies. It's another to make the discussion personal, and to directly insult other posters. There's a fair mix of both type of post in here, but it doesn't seem worth the effort to weed out the insults, since they're only bound to continue after a clean-up and…

Dear Posters, I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread. The forum guidelines include this item: 16. No Political Topics in the Main Forums Political content is not allowed on the Main Forums. This includes images. Please form or join a Group if you would like to engage in political debate on…

Gotta end it here. On a personal note I think this debate has great value, but the public forums are not the place for it, based on our Community Guidelines and the political nature of the conversation, as it has evolved. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines Regards, Steven MyFitnessPal Staff

Actually, I'm referring to posts that question the social ramifications of local governments restricting the operation of a business, and now subsequent posts about the relationship between corporations, political donations, and legislation. Topics like this almost always end up creating an unwanted disturbance in the…

Folks, Just a note that this thread is likely to breach the "no political threads" guideline in very short order. To prevent that, I would recommend picking up this topic in a group or in wall posts. If further reports come in, I'll have to lock the thread based on Almost all threads on the topic of legislation of any…
