All these workout check ins on the GD

This is kind of crazy! i counted 12 threads on the GD that are essentially check ins! I'm just wondering why this isn't a check in, and why all the individual posts?

I noticed this too. It should be a check-in and not in General Discussion.

Sorry, I don't know what "Check in" is. Sorry I clogged up the forum. Geesh, this forum is so freaking toxic. I think I'm leaving. I don't need the negativity.

Not toxic, Gemini2874. Just a gentle reminder to the original poster that there is a place for checki-ins. Even I’ve responded to these check-ins on the GD, so I’m with you on that. Enough people have responded to these daily GD check-ins that it’s probably time to form a formal group check-in under the Challenges and Check-ins tab. It’s a good thing that there’s activity, but it would be easier to find under the check-in tab.

I personally don’t have a problem with a thread for a daily workout post. It is easier to see/remember.

I think the problem is when one is posting a back log of several days worth of workouts. It visually interrupts the General Discussion forum (and is why others are suggesting those threads belong on the Check-In sub-forum).

Oh gee! I wasn't criticizing you at all. I was just confused on why all of those were in the GD. I'm sorry if you felt attacked. Not my intent at all!

VF "toxic" and "negative?" That's news to me. And I've been a member since 1998.

I agree with alison. The daily workout threads have been on here a long, long time and I don’t see any problem with it. Like Alison said, it’s only noticeable right now because someone posted several days’ workouts at once, but I don’t see a problem with that, either.

Perhaps there is a separate check in section for search purposes.

Thanks for bringing this up, it seems to be just a discussion on forum logistics and doesn't seem to be meant as toxic.

If the checkin threads are in GD, then they always show up in searches when you search for certain DVDs. If someone does that DD frequently, then the search returns not just the info you are looking for on the DVD, but also every time someone has done that DVD in the check ins threads. Which can be alot.

My thoughts too. I never saw the OP’s post as negative or toxic.
