As we mentioned last week, a new version of LIVESTRONG.COM Calorie Tracker iPhone app is available now in iTunes! This version removes the banner ads that were introduced a week ago. We goofed, we're sorry, and we're most appreciative of your feedback and support. Download the update and go ad-free again!
We've already sent another new version to Apple to address a few occasional glitches with updating serving sizes and meal times. Stay tuned!
A few weeks back, we archived a lot of older MyPlate data temporarily, in an attempt to shrink the size of our database so that The Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG would load faster.
We planned to un-archive the data that week.
Unfortunately, as some of you know first-hand, the un-archiving process has gone slower than planned. We've set and missed a couple goals for getting older MyPlate data restored, and we apologize sincerely for that frustration. Please know that our developers continue to strategize on how we can best restore that MyPlate data, and no information has been lost. We've been unarchiving member data each night, and we're still investigating faster ways to get this data back for you.
Gold members have been prioritized to the top of the pending queue for un-archiving.
We know this hasn't gone as well as it could have. Our top priorities are continuing access to your older data, and keeping the site snappy. We will work to resolve this issue as quickly as we can, and as always, we appreciate your support!
Last night, our unstoppable development team rolled out a series of fixes and upgrades to the site. As part of these fixes, I have it on good authority that remaining archived MyPlate data should be restored over the next day or so. Stay tuned!
Here are other issues the team addressed:
1. Fix for the "Calorie Breakdown" chart
2. Fix for a bug where The Daily Plate tried to recalculate manually set calorie goals
3. Fix for properly calculating calories burned for members who were seeing 0 calories for each exercise
5. Fix various issues with quotation marks and apostrophes, affecting search, display, and editing
6. Added ability to delete messages from your outbox (by hugely popular request!)
7. Fix for MyPlate CSV exports
8. Fix for Topic and Dare guides
9. Various optimizations to search
10. Improved page load times
Whew — that's a mouthful! As always, we welcome and appreciate your feedback. Let us know your thoughts!
Last night, we took the site offline for about one hour while our amazing tech team performed a series of upgrades behind-the-scenes. The improvements made last night should make the site, particularly The Daily Plate at LIVESTRONG, noticeably snappier.
During those upgrades, we temporarily archived old MyPlate data, from more than 30 days ago. No data has been lost, and the data will be restored this week. Stay tuned!
