| A little about Weightcircles |
Aug 13, 2007 |
Did you notice the “A little about me” section on your profile? We recently added this thanks to a suggestion by KaylaDiane. It’s like a brief introduction to tell everyone a little about who you are, very helpful when others are browsing your page. If you joined more than a week or so ago, you may not have noticed that it’s here, and you probably haven’t filled it out. I encourage everyone to go fill it out – just click on “Edit Profile” and you’ll get there!
Also thanks to KaylaDiane, we added her old “Madison” picture to use as a thumbnail, and we’ve added a male picture that she made for us, too. Yeah! Those are already a big hit with new members.
Finally, a change you probably haven’t noticed – circles created by members now have two membership types – Public and Private. Before now, when you created your own circle, people had to “ask to join” and then the circle owner had to approve them before they could be part of the circle. If choose the Private membership, it’s still like that. But, you can also choose Public membership type, and anyone can join without getting your approval. So, if the more’s the merrier, you can change your circle to have Public membership (anyone can join). Just find the circle listed on your page, click where it says “Edit Circle” and choose the Public membership type.
We have lots more fun changes in store in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! |

We hope our members like it here and want to stay, but occasionally we do have someone request to remove their page and membership. If you'd like to do that, Bluesky, simply send us an email through our contact form. BE SURE to include your username and/or email address (the form does not identify you, so if you don't include a username or email address we won't know who to remove).
If you just want to stop getting emails, but still have your page, you can do that yourself. At the bottom of every email you get from us, is a link to set your email preferences. On that link you can choose whether to get emails when you receive a new comment, when people join your circles, or when Weightcircles sends something out to the whole membership, like an annoucement about a new feature. |

We recently implemented a list of ideas for blogging, and are wondering if any members have used it yet or found it helpful. We'd love to hear your reactions here! |

Hi Mei Tsu! great questions.
RATE AND REVIEW WEIGHT LOSS PRODUCTS -- we actually have this on the site already -- in the Product Directory. Our vision for the Product Directory is that it can be a place where we list a lot of products that are related to weight loss, and our members can rate & review them so people know what really works, what tastes good, and what's a complete scam.
Right now, the Product Directory is the least used area of our site. We haven't paid much attention to it, and we need to do some work to add more products and make it easier to use. But you CAN actually go to the directory, find products you've used, and rate and review them. If there's a product you'd like to review and it's not listed, click on "suggest a product" and let us know - we'll add it. We do try to add products that people mention on their member pages.
RECIPES -- this has been suggested a couple of times, so it's pretty high on our list to add. We're still working on a library of articles helping people with the basics of weight loss, since so many people come to the site and say they have no idea how to get started. Once that's done, we'll work on a recipe section. Thanks for the vote in that direction! |

Hi MeiTsu, thanks for reporting this bug! We just looked into it, and realized that it's a problem we had fixed before, but when we changed hosts it became "unfixed". So now we're working on fixing it again. We'll let you know when it's fixed - hopefully today. Again, thanks for reporting it! |
| Good suggestion |

Thanks Madison! That's a good idea. We'll try to incorporate that into one of our upcoming releases. |

We've had a few new features ready to go but we're also in the process of changing hosts, so that's slowed us down a little. You would think it's easy to change hosts, but first of all, you have to make sure EVERYTHING is working on the new host (and of course it isn't at first) and then you have to follow a series of steps - unlock, give authorization to transfer, etc. etc. So we're not sure when the transfer will happen (we're waiting on the final steps from Yahoo!). When we do the transfer, you'll be able to browse the site but not login or make any changes. This could last for up to 24 hours but we're hoping it will be shorter!
Once that is done, we'll have our Blog Idea Generator and our Picture LIbrary up. Actually, we may just put those up and then do the host change. So keep an eye out for them! |
| Recent & Upcoming Features |
May 21, 2007 |
Thanks for visiting Weightcircles, and we hope you like it here!
Some of our recent changes:
1. The Circle Page, with tabs for recent activity, conversations, tips, and members.
2. The conversations, a way for you to talk to everyone in your circle. When you start a conversation, you can choose which of your circles it will be in.
3. Improvements to the member page so that only the most recent comments, blogs, and conversations show unless you “unhide” them.
Coming soon:
1. Some pictures you can choose for your profile if you don’t want to upload your own.
2. An idea-generator to help you write blogs.
3. An improved profile maintenance page.
4. The “leave comment” box opening on a member page so you can still see their page while you leave a comment.
5. A library of articles about weight loss.
6. A weight loss graph for your page.
Let us know what you think of the new features, the ones that are coming, and what else you’d like to see.
We are also planning to tweak the conversation feature so they’re easier to use. Any suggestions here are greatly appreciated!
We love our members and it’s wonderful to see people meeting each other and enjoying the site! |

We'll have this page fixed up soon. Stay tuned! |
