Tech updates including DrinkTracker

Latest from our programmer

Most of the bugs should be sorted out. If you've had trouble with DrinkTracker, please try the following:

* Go to http://www.mywayout.org/login_new.php

* If you're able to log in, select "View Archive" to see the alphabetic listing of, say January 07 stats. In the public view, member names are alphabetized and extra fields have been removed. "View Archive" will also take you to the current month, but we're working on that.

* If you continue to get an error message (now in red text) when attempting to log in please report it here.

We'd like to transfer the upgrade over to the live area tonight/tomorrow, which should take it offline (the application only, not the board) for about 20 minutes. We'll do this at approximately 9 p.m. Pacific; 1 a.m. Eastern; 6 a.m. London; 5 p.m. Sydney.

one log in for both........... thanks RJ!!!

And no...the melons name will not change...she will just have further to walk for her 'yellow eggs'....it took me so damn long to get an avatar next to my name this time...I would have to put a beard on the next one if I changed again!!!!!! boo hoo....technodolt...

Oh, and yes...that ratings thingy...did you mean that this is going to come up by our names under the 'number of posts' thingy??? I don't know whether I'd like that much...mine would read:

"melon MAY have something good to say, but we'd never know, as she writes it all in melonese and is pretty incomprehensible to others...enter at the risk of having your brain turned to blancmange"

Dear Roberta,
I don't really understand all the precedings, so am not going to attempt to double logon or anything.
What I do have is a suggestion: I saw elsewhere (fitness I think) that a group is starting an informal wekly weigh in. Now because of the number of posts and chat already involved in that thread, it may become another gigantic thread to try to wade through. Also, reading through other posts, there's a fair amount of discussion about weight problems and weight loss................
So I thought, how about copying DrinkTracker and renaming it Weight Tracker. No programming to do as it's already there. Just change the name and slot into the website. Sounds too easy for me, but probably lots of work at your end. That's why I didn't suggest including BP, Pulse and waist measurements.

Thanks

Great idea, however that actually that would entail quite a bit more programming than you might think, as well as resources to support it. All pretty expensive, too. Maybe we can add something like that down the road. I'm thrilled with the activity in the Fitness Forum and am committed to support those who are working out and focusing on that aspect of MWO. So I'll give it some more thought.

Until then, you may want to look into some of the resources on my blog at www.mywayout.org/blog. If you search the word "exertrack", for instance, you'll find a post from several months ago. It contatins a link to a site with a downloadable tool that might provide you with what you're looking for; it's been a while since I reviewed it.

Thanks again for the feedback, Rags. We'll focus on getting DrinkTracker running smoothly for now and will see how we may be able to accommodate the other. :-)

Just a quick note to let you know we've replaced the old version of DrinkTracker with the new release. All the February entries are intact. It's linked, as before, on the front page of the forum under Tools, or you can login here to take a peek.

Let us know if you run into any problems. We're still fine tuning but I think we've worked through the most significant issues.

RJ,

Drink tracker is coming along nicely, but...........

My green moderations days are yellow

They show up green on the input page but when I view everyone's drink tracker it's a sea of brown and yellow. There's no green anywhere so I'm assuming we are all having the issue.

Thanks,
Rachele

Sea of yellow

Yikes! You're right...let me get with the programmer about that.

Appreciate all the feedback, thanks a bunch. :-)

RJ

p.s. Yes, I sleep, ha.
