PG-13/Adult content and the message boards
Hi everyone, I've been following several of the discussions regarding the turn towards more "PG-13"/R content on the boards and debating what the site policy should be on these types of posts. I haven't posted in any of the discussions because I didn't want to inject myself into the debate. Instead, I first wanted to see…

Site will be down tonight at 9PM PST for approx. 1 hour
In an attempt to fix the problems we've been experiencing with the servers, I need to take the site down for about an hour in order to do some maintenance work. The site will shutdown at 9PM PST and, if all goes well, should be back up by 10PM PST. Sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully this should eliminate the…

Site speed - is it still slow?
Hi everyone! We were having a problem where the ads were loading very slowly, and thus slowing down the entire page. I put in some changes so that the rest of the page would still load quickly even if the ad was slow, and I was hoping that would fix the problem. I'm still seeing a few people complain about the site being…

Pages loading faster?
Just curious - does it seem like the pages on the site are loading faster today? I think the site has been having an issue where slow-loading ads were causing the entire page to load slowly. I tried to put in a fix for that so that if the ads loads slowly, it doesn't impact the rest of the page. Let me know if any of you…

Is anyone having trouble with serving sizes on new foods?
I've had a few people say that they were unable to create new foods with serving sizes like "2 slices" or "1 cup". However, I've been completely unable to reproduce that error myself. You definitely should be able to create foods with serving sizes like that without a problem. Has anyone else experienced an issue entering…

Slight change to tickers and badges
Just a quick heads up that I had to make a very slight change to the tickers today. I used to calculate the amount of weight you'd lost as the HIGHEST weight you'd ever logged minus your current weight. Instead, I'm now calculating the weight you've lost as the FIRST weight you've ever logged minus your current weight.…

Question for international users
I'm working on offering a metric and kilojoule option for all of the international folks on the site. One question I had was, which countries use kilojoule instead of calories? If you're a non-U.S. user, can you do me a favor and please post in this thread what country you are from, and whether your country uses calories…
