BodySpace member Natalie (tkolady77) carved a Jay Cutler pumpkin for Halloween, and it’s proudly being displayed at the Bodybuilding.com corporate offices in Meridian, ID! 

If you’re in the area, stop by today and have your photo taken with Jay!  LOL  

Kudos go out to Danielle for fixing the annoying ampersand (”& amp;” instead of “&”) problem that many of us have seen before on lots of people’s profiles.  If you happen to see any stray “amp’s” on anyone’s profile, please let us know!

10/31 UPDATE:  Another minor bug was squashed yesterday, too, involving the inability to enter a decimal number into the bodyfat percentage area in the BodyStats module.  This field now accepts bodyfat percentage values containing decimal points (9.5%, etc.)  Thanks, Danielle!

Okay, okay - it is Newf13!  Be sure to check him out!  And don’t forget, you could be next!

The login problems that many users were seeing last night and this morning have now been fixed.  This was a hardware issue (failed NIC) with one of the servers, and the problem has been corrected.  Sorry for the partial downtime for some users (this didn’t affect everyone).  

Everything should be working again now. 

Today marks the grand day when months of work has culminated into the roll-out of two (2) brand new BodySpace features:

• BodySpace Workout Tracker (BWT)
• Member Supplement Reviews

Now you can use BodySpace to track all the minute details of your workouts, including creating, saving, and reusing workout templates, tracking progress over time using automated graphing, getting workout feedback, and more!

Check out the brand-spankin’ new BodySpace Workout Tracker (BWT) today!

Also, members can now, for the first time, review supplements that they’ve tried, right in their own profiles, and that information will be saved and collected, and once we have enough review data, then we can start to tie that into the store where we can display the average rating for products!   Just think, your product review showing up on a store product page - just by filling out a little form right on your own BodySpace profile!

Check out the brand-spankin’ new Supplement Reviews section right on your own BodySpace profile and also in your control panel!

BodySpace surpassed 111,000 active users today! 

Thanks and welcome to all of our new members!

Kudos go out to Kelly for fixing a longstanding problem with the Search By Location section of the Advanced Search page on BodySpace.  We used to have it, then it was disabled for performance reasons, and now it’s all been optimized, and it’s now back!

Enjoy!

Kudos go out to Danielle and Michael for fixing a longstanding problem with the Visitor Comments module in the BodySpace Control Panel. 

The problem was that the really popular BodySpace members (e.g., ChickenTuna, KatNap, DawnMelanie, et al) had too many visitor comments to load when that module was clicked on.  A limit has been placed on the query, where only the most recent 1,000 comments are now returned, so that page should work again for everyone, including the most popular users!
