[TheProgressiveOne]

Mods, feel free to sticky this as I'm sure it will help stop 3k threads starting about it

This thread will act as a central repository for all errors and opinions




1. The most recent posts in the forum are backwards...so my first ever thread is now on display instead of my most recent

[tckep]

It won't let me upload progress photos. I've tried about a dozen times.

Lol strong thread

Progress pics on your bodyspace are wierd

It takes the first photo as the before and the second photo as the after.

E.g. Look at Rackich's profile, his current is his 2007 photo of him when he was skinny. His before is him as a baby.

[fah92]

I can't see who has viewed my bodyspace and I can't see how many views I have

yes I check come at me

oh and comments don't show up to everyone, only I can view them

[vruaro]

Does that on mine when I look at my main space, but when I navigate into the progress photos section it shows my most recent as current.

[TheProgressiveOne]

All good stuff...I will address this stuff and let a mod know

[TheProgressiveOne]

Anymore

[BIGOGW90]

Looks like chit (srs)

[ispy]

too much of everything, but since i don't use bodyspace, i don't really care.

[BrollicWraith]

Love the new look, glad we finally have graphs that don't look completely pixelated.

An open letter from CEO Ryan DeLuca on the new BodySpace updates:

this is gunna fail harder than the new forum design..

[BodySpaceAdmin]

We have received a bit of feedback about an issue with our metric to imperial conversion on the new BodySpace. We will have a fix for this and the progress picture issues in place next week. Keep the feedback coming!

[ironslayabra]

this is gunna fail harder than the new forum design..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This. Bodyspace was known for it's unique design and quick/user friendly layout. Now you guys over did it with all this extra bs thats not even needed. i think if most of us wanted a fb layout/design, we would of signed up for fb itself. Definitly fail.

[GDPro-Teen]

Its nice to see bb.com failed miserably with their forum decisions in 2011. Can't wait to see what you pull out of the bag in 2012

[CTpump]

I kind of preferred the original which is simpler and cleaner. The only bad thing about the classic bodyspace was the navigation..maybe made it easier to navigate would been better

As another poster said, why not allow customization of bodyspaces such as making your own layouts and adding/removing elements?

[BasedPrincess]

i dont care about bodyspace i just want an easy way to see my past 5 threads. thank you.

[Tech_Fall]

cant find my old forum posts

[GarageLifting]

Confusing as fuu. Where do i see my posts??


Edit: just found out how to find posts. Click on name above your AVI on thread and go to view forum posts.

[skeeet27]

kinda sucks but can get used to it just needs to get fixed more. but kinda bs compared to the old one.

[Lee72]

On the overview page it shows my after progress picture as the one from last month.
The old bodyspace was better because it was simpler with the same stuff. Change it back

[arkansawboy]

the old version was simpler and better

whats this even for? facebook gets updated so do we?

just go back to the old one

[marlene79]

It's too confusing. I prefer the Old one :/

[MyBodyIsRdy420]

Way too confusing. Half of the time when I click it, it takes well over 30 seconds to load. Also, there is no "forum control panel" for us to see our latest reps. There's no way for us to access them at all, :\.

Oh, and under our "latest threads" section..it does not have the latest threads we have created, only the olllllllllld ones.

[jerseyshorebrah]

I can't see who has stalked my profile recently

[mrfatwrecker]

1. its slow as fuk

2. needs to bring back the option to view recent and all forum posts

3. needs to look less gay

[spring85sigma]

There is some truth to the statement, "Less is More!" The vast majority of us would have settled for old page design with the bugs fixed (e.g. photo gallery comments and ratings, page counters, bodyblogs, etc., etc.). The design not as intuitive as it should be. But since you've instituted the changes, I would ask:

1. that you make sure visitor stats are back on the top page. THIS one of MY major motivators. I love to know the number of visitors who stop by my page! LOL! It had been doing VERY well lately!

2. that our personal information, age, hometown and other informatio (stories) be prominently featured. Right now, it is not apparent where to find members' "profile information." Many members' stories have inspired me and I've had a few members tell me that my profile is inspirational as well. It is helpful and motivating to read about the obstacles that members have overcome to transform their bodies.

3. that videos or at least a thumbnail of the videos be placed on the top page. I tried to structure my old page so that I could present exercises and informative content with the videos I posted.

4. that page comments are visible.

5. that you add a "batch editing" feature to the progress and photo gallery for ease of deleting accumulated pictures.

6. that you treat blog comments as other "forum posts" so that people can see when we respond to their posts on our blogs.

7. that you repair and/or upgrade the notification process for page and blog comments, friend requests, etc.

If I'm looking at what you are doing to allow us to manage friend requests, I applaud it. It was certainly getting more difficult to manage a growing "fan club" and frankly, I would like the opportunity to accept or deny a friend request. "Not now" doesn't sound "permanent" but it will do for now in dealing with requests that we'd prefer not to honor.

My biggest criticism, however, is the TIMING of the launch of this new page! So many people are about to start their new year fitness programs and have joined here, only to find a great deal of confusion and disarray. This might be discouraging for some. I also know of some long-standing members who are very distraught about the new design and I fear you may lose a few members. YOU ALSO NEED TO USE THE BLOG ON A WEEKLY, IF NOT DAILY, BASIS TO LET MEMBER'S KNOW WHAT CHANGES ARE PENDING! I would even go so far as to say that every member should be connected to BodySpace Admin as a "friend. The communication was very poor leading up to the launch of this redesign.

I hope that some of the issues that I've mentioned above are taken into consideration as you continue the redesign of BodySpace and that you as rapidly as possible address and resolve the many issues that other loyal BodySpace users have mentioned in this and other forums thus far. I'm looking forward to a great 2012 and hopefully with my BodySpace family intact! Best wishes to all of you!
