Change in Google Weight Tracker?

I have my Weight Tracker embedded in my blog and I have been entering my daily weight there. HOWEVER, two days ago I started getting an error when I attempted to enter my weight.

Upon closer inspection, I found that now the entry field is prompting for my BMI not weight. I only have the ability to get my weight every day not my BMI in fact BMI really is not something that means anything to me. I think in pounds not BMI.

Also, when I go to your site to enter my weight, I use to be able to enter my weight easily. Now I have to hunt around to find where to enter it.

What has changed? I liked it much better before. Now it is almost useless.

Thanks,
Caryl

Thank you for responding.

I don't know how it happened, but yesterday I discovered that my tracker at www.medhelp.org was no longer displaying my weight - just my BMI. That was why I could not enter my weight either at Medhelp or on my remote site.

Once I went into my settings and put my weight back into the tracker for display, I was back up and running.

Not sure what happened behind the scenes at Medhelp to change my settings but I am OK now.

Thanks

Hi there -

Can you be a little more specific about having to hunt for it?  We haven't changed anything on the weight tracker, so we aren't sure what exactly has changed for you.

Also, the BMI is a calculated value, not an entered one.  Are you able to enter weight when using the tracker on this site, or is it changed in both places?

Thanks,
Emily

Apparently your .xml code has changed (http://www.medhelp.org/widget_files/igoogle/weight_tracker.xml)

How can we get that fixed?
