In short, you can now go into someone's profile (some rules apply), and click on the new "Encourage" button to send that person an encouragement.
An encouragement is a simple nudge to help encourage a fellow MaCC member to keep going, finish the race, and not give up on their weight loss goals!
Everyone needs encouragement from time to time. So if you receive an encouragement,
please pass it on!Why did I create this?Simply put, everyone needs encouragement, especially when your dieting. Were all in the same boat here, we should be helping and encouraging each other. But being the shy guy I am, I didn't want to just start sending out PM's to everyone. MaCC needed something simpler, something you can do with the click of your mouse.
Enter the Encouragement System. All you have to do is click the Encouragement button on someone's profile and they are sent a message of encouragement! Very simple, very easy and in the end, very meaningful.
There are some rules of course:-Must be logged in
-You can only encourage a person, one time per day.
-A members profile must be set to public
-If a members profile is private, the only way to send an encouragement is by being a friend
This is only the beginning. So far it's a very simple system and can be expanded. So I need feedback. My wife suggested having a couple different 'canned messages' to choose from when sending an encouragement. I'll take any and all suggestions into consideration.
