Fixes, Features, and Privacy Enhancements

Friday, June 20th, 2008
  1. Preferences regarding how your name looks on your LIVESTRONG.COM profile have been fixed. You can choose to show everyone your real name, only your friends, or no one at all, right from the Preferences page.
  2. Private photos are now longer accessible when you email friends links to specific photos. Thanks to member cleardc for pointing out this issue.
  3. The “recent comments” module in individual Groups now only shows comments from that specific group, as expected. 
  4. “Things I Do Regularly” on MyPlate works even more reliably.
  5. Food items you log on MyPlate no longer appear in your Friends Feed updates if your food diary is marked as private. (That’s a mouthful!)
  6. Some users who originally registered at the standalone version of The Daily Plate couldn’t login to LIVESTRONG.COM successfully. That’s been fixed.
  7. Some users had an issue while editing their LIVESTRONG profiles. The system would tell them that their email address was invalid — but you weren’t even editing your email address! This affects a few accounts where your email address actually went missing — a flaw that itself has now been fixed. So, when editing your profile, if you see that your email address is missing or blank, just fill it in to make sure we save your profile changes.
  8. Speaking of profile changes, some members could edit their profiles all they wanted, but nothing would save. This, too, has been fixed.
Wow. As you can see, our tech team doesn’t slack on Fridays, and they worked their hearts out to make sure all these fixes were in before the weekend.
There’s still plenty more work to be done, and our team shows no signs of stopping! Enjoy the weekend, and as always, let us know your thoughts!

New profile features and a few more bug fixes

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

A bunch of updates to share, so let’s get right to it!

1. You can now rearrange elements on your profile.
I, for example, love the Friends Feed, so I dragged mine higher up on my profile. I’ve also moved My Groups above my Friends List, because that’s more convenient for me. You can adjust the layout by clicking on the headers of profile modules and dragging them. Note that currently the top three modules are not movable.

2. Your last name is no longer required when editing your profile.
We thought we had this one fixed yesterday, but it still gave some members problems. Today, it is definitely fixed and working properly!

3. “What I Do Regularly” — a log of fitness activities you frequently track on MyPlate — is now working properly.
Most users weren’t having a problem, but if you’re a regular fitness tracker and you were 
affected, you will be thrilled to know that this is fixed now!

As always, we value your feedback — let us know what you think!
