Lemonade
August 7th, 2008
Sometimes you get caught up in the excitement of building cool new functionality and you forget to do the always important, often loathed QA. That was the case with our last release where we debuted weight tracking. We introduced a number of small problems, many of which were not reported by users like you, but discovered in my own day-to-day diary use (my diary can be found here: http://www.tweetwhatyoueat.com/diary/aressidi).
If you were none the wiser and these problems did not affect you, great! On the other hand if you were scratching your head, wondering why certain things that once worked no longer worked, then please accept our apology. Know that the problems have been fixed, and that the pipeline is filled with great new functionality.
Here is a list of small bugs that we’ve recently fixed:
- Positioning of the food profile dialogue in Firefox and IE - with CrowdCal setting active, clicking a linked, calorie value in your diary would open the food profile dialogue though it would not line up with the selected entry. This has been fixed.
- Selecting an alternate food profile failed! - with CrowdCal active, clicking an alternate food profile from the dialogue would not activate the profile in your diary. Instead nothing would happen. Now if you click an alternate profile it assigns the selected profile to your entry, and to all previous entries. This applies to entries marked with a “?” as well.
- There’s no way to delete a weight entry! - that was by design, though I’m not here to keep you honest, that’s your job. Added the ability to trash weight entries if you entered them incorrectly.
- Calendar problems adding and editing entries through the web - these I believe have all been fixed and include the calendar defaulting to 2007 rather then the current date. Another problem was that you could not add entries to dates in the past.
Some miscellaneous Internet Explorer display issues have also been fixed. Feel free post any problems you’ve experienced in the comments as I’m on a clean-up bender before moving to the next phase of functional development.

August 8th, 2008 at 02:24 AM Don't worry mate. Bugs will always creep in however hard you try. Nice to see you're on top of them though (I never even noticed there were problems)
August 8th, 2008 at 06:43 AM Thanks for the fixes! Time for a full review! Keep up the good work, easiest food diary I've ever used!
August 8th, 2008 at 11:42 AM Thanks for the fixes. Any chance of allowing at least one decimal point to the weight entries?
August 8th, 2008 at 11:53 AM feature request: link to a specific day in the food log. Also, not sure where my previous comment went, but it would be nice to have at least 1 decimal point in the weight log.
