Nutrition Log

Took a quick look at the nutrition log and having the details on the items presented is much better.  I'd still like to see some sort of logic applied to what gets offered to me first.  ie. when I enter Milk, show me milk, not cottage cheese that has milk in it.

The option to delete an item rather than set the total to zero is good but there is a typo and grammatical error in the popup.  It says "are you sure you want to remvoe this items?"

First, I want to make sure you have cleared your browser cache and temp internet files and try again.  

Second, was it a particular food that you added that produced a blank entry?  If it happens again can you get a screenshot?  Was there an 'error' associated with it?

We have made some updates to the nutrition log to address some of your issues, make sure to clear your browser first.  There may be a 'frequent food' error that is still causing problems.

I totally understand your post.  I put up a writeup in my blog from my perspective.  I wouldn't even call BT a company...It's me, a two part time contract programmers (full time at the moment) and a few other part time support staff.  

While I would have LOVED to have more time, more money for more isolated testing servers, more money for programmers to debug in development over a longer period of time - as I agree with your points,   I didn't.  I had to do this at this moment.  The programmers we have now, I know their dedication and we would get the bugs fixed soon...we are.  Many BT'ers know that I will get the job done, I always have.  There are several companies in our field with a lot more manpower that pulled off a complete overhaul with the same or less-than-stellar results. It's a big job to totally overhaul code you have been writing for 10 years.  You have no idea what is lurking behind every browser, every scenario, every feature.  BT is the most diverse regarding features of any site 'genre'.  This was even a bigger job then anything done in the industry. I agree, if things were optimal...we could have done it a lot better.  But things never are optimal.  Many will disagree, but given the size of the job, I think we did a helluva job...the first few days were not fun, but we got the main core features usable very soon (not nutrition though, ironically it was very ill-used too, hardly any used it as it was terrible in the old form - now that it's part of the main navigation, it's getting put through the paces).

Please be patient and we'll get it done.  I value your input and detailed bug reports...and you will make it a better place sticking around and helping me with some fine-tuning.

And don't think for a second this will not be a learning experience...it is currently one.  I wont' forget.  

Stick around, help us with the remaining issues.  You will be glad you did.

Win XP, SP3/Chrome 27

I find that when I hit the "Save" button to enter a meal that I get a "Saving" message that just spins and spins. I can see the entry on my log in the background, so I hit "Reload" on the browser and it is there and good to go.

I have also found quirkiness with Nutrition Logging, in regards to editing. I'll be able to do more in depth testing tomorrow morning.

Thanks

We just applied a few fixes last night and this morning.

There were a lot of hangups last week - especially loading 'empty' frequent foods that seemed to gum everything up.  I have tested this this morning in Firefox, Safari and Chrome - all very fast.  IE9 works, though it seemed a little slow the first time.  I have loaded searchbox foods, frequent foods, meals and custom foods, then deleted some, changed servings and saved.  Seems to be quick for the most part.

I have not looked into the create meals or new food bugs that may have been reported.  Doing that today.

If you can please check the 'add food' tab.  CLEAR YOUR BROWSERS TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES AND CACHE FOR THIS - EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE UPDATES.

Play with it today, let me know any issues (especially your browser and version), you can also re-iterate and other bugs you have with create meals and food.

Edward,

Let me address a few quick things:

1 - X2 on not seeing calorie information when choosing food.  Can you send me a screenshot?  Or, like the previous poster, you want the micronutrients too (fiber, calcium, etc) - not just cal, carbs, prot, fat when browsing food.  We chose the current format as from using other nutrition logs, its takes a large amount of clicks to search then log food.   And our old log constantly had a complaint of 'faaaaaaaaaaar too many clicks to log food.  Honestly, you may have been the only one using it.  'Though maybe we sacrificed detail too much. I'm sure I'll figure it out and the programmers can work it.

2 - Notes - where were these notes?  In the nutrition section?  'Private notes'?  Nothing was deleted.  Maybe moved, or 'not seen' in the case of the training log, but not deleted.  Let me know exactly where they were and I will check.

3 - Meals, will look into.

I will concede on communication.  We had a red alert in the top left of the site 24 hours before...but we could have done better with something of this magnitude.  It's obvious that I don't do this often.  

I have just confirmed that you can save the quantities you put in when saving a meal/recipe template.

Still working on the other issues.
