10 big LIVESTRONG.COM fixes
The team continues to make upgrades and improvements to LIVESTRONG.COM every single day. Some of our most recent changes have dramatically improved day-to-day use of the site, and I wanted to enumerate some of them so that you can take a look at all the work that we’ve poured into it.
1. Even-better “Slim Header” mode.
LIVESTRONG.COM offers a ton of content. But when you’re using The Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG.COM, you might prefer a more TDP-centric navigation. Enable the “slim header” from the top of any page within TDP on LIVESTRONG. Now, when you click the Forum link in that slim header, the site will realize you want to go straight to the TDP forums, and we’ll take you right there.
2. Editing your profile works better.
Some users were having issues updating their profiles. We believe we have completely resolved those issues.
3. Easier inbox navigation.
The site was using large user photo images when browsing your inbox, which made it harder to scroll through. We’re now using smaller user images, which makes it a lot easier to read your messages! We now also shows you if a message is unread or read, instead of listing every message in bold as if it were new.
4. Remember me.
You can now tell LIVESTRONG.COM to “keep you logged in” if you are accessing the site from a private computer. You’ll find the checkbox on the login page.
5. Enhanced privacy settings.
By default, search engines like Google will “crawl” or public pages on any website, including your profile. LIVESTRONG.COM has, since launch, offered a preference to “block your profile from search engines like Google.” Now, if you enable that checkbox, we’ll block more than just your profile page from Google; we’ll also block your photo page, friends list, and blog.
7. Drag and drop modules on MyPlate.
The Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG’s calorie tracker MyPlate now allows you to reorder the right-side modules. If you prefer to see your “frequently eaten foods” over your Meals, just drag the modules into that order instead!
8. Forum fixes.
Various font and “smiley” issues have been fixed on the forums.
9. HTML in groups and elsewhere.
Limited HTML is now working again in group posts.
10. Ability to see all the foods you added to The Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG.
This was missing from your profile on LIVESTRONG.COM, but it’s there now!
11. Group posting issues.
Some members were having occasional issues where posts or comments on Groups were vanishing into the ether. No more — it’s fixed!
Wow. That’s a long list, right?!
We have plenty more on the list — fixes, enhancements, and brand new features are on the horizon for LIVESTRONG.COM. As you can see, your feedback directly impacts the work we do each day. Thanks, as always, for your feedback and support.
