The LIVESTRONG.COM Blog

As you may know, LIVESTRONG.COM was overwhelmed with traffic thus far this year, thanks to thousands of new members who’ve likely made New Years resolutions to live a healthier 2009. Our dedicated tech team were able to make some server and code adjustments to restore stability and speed to the site earlier this week.

But, as part of those fixes, they had to cache some data on the MyPlate screen of The Daily Plate. This was a temporary measure, and it has had the effect of making some of the weekly and monthly totals on the lower half of your MyPlate screen lag behind. It’s our intent to restore full functionality to those totals by the end of the day today.

Caching those numbers definitely made them less useful, but it also enabled us to get the site running much more smoothly, which we felt was a worthwhile trade-off. 

Again, it’s our aim to get the MyPlate weekly/monthly totals fully restored by end of the day.

Thanks, as always, for your patience and support!

Last week, many of you got confused when we removed the search bar from MyPlate. (You can always search The Daily Plate and the rest of the site using the big search bar at the top of the site.) 

But we heard you, and we’ve returned the in-line search box on MyPlate to its place of glory. Enjoy!
