I was looking at my old account on the Nutrisystem site...and lo and behold on their Community Home Page...i see that same pic of people with their outstretched arms...

I guess it's a stock photo...but I thought that was strange to have the same pic on both sites.

Jenny Craig is not owned by Nutrisystem, right?

I'm very happy with the program!

Just thought someone might want to change pics...

That's just funny!! That photo has been bugging me since day 1. Maybe this will encourage them to get rid of it!

How embarrasing!!

I'm wagering the same web team set up the same format on both sites. There has to be more pics of dorky people than just that one to chose from. This is no casual connection.

I just logged into my old account and I can't believe it. I see the pictures and I can't believe two competitive companys would use the same picture. I wonder who took it the actual picture and who has writes to it. Nutrisystem has a larger pciture with more people

Curiousity got to me and I went to the Nutrisystem site.... there is was! Told my JCC about it and she was apalled! Obviously, they are not JC users, just random people. To have more effect, it should be real JC success stories/photos. Funny though that both sites have the same look. Well, at least the message boards do.

I hate that picture too... The one girl on the left in the white sweater just looks like she is totally being forced to take the photo and the others just look fake to me.

Webmaster---- remove the photo, or hide it. Does it have to be on EVERY PAGE, and so huge on every page?
goal #1 to be at 170 by 7/21, then I will tackle the rest

I logged in to the Nutrisystem site and couldn't find this picture. Still, it was funny to hear about all the complaints over NS foods. Just like our JC site.

I wouldn't mind the picture so much if it were legitimate JC people...those people have nothing to do with JC. I understand about stock photos and all...but there are so many success stories with JC...seems like they'd have plenty of ways to get real customers.

And the pic being on EVERY page of the forum stuff is annoying...front page would be plenty to have a pic like that.


Oh well...

Ok, curiosity killed the cat! I had to go create an account and check it out. You have to log into the Community section to see the picture. It's not huge and it doesn't fill the entire width of the page like it does here,

AND - are you listening Web Designers....

it DOESN'T appear on the message board page. Just the main community page...

I saved a copy of the picture, I'm gonna try to post it here!

The photo bothered me too but not because it's on nurtisystem- but at my work! I work at an apartment community and it's a poster for diversity...same people- but with their arms down- just standing there.

That is SO crazy!! Why did Jenny not do some research on this site before they launched it? I am appalled that they used the same image as nutrisystems and also that they seem to have copied their whole site. Except nutriystems seems to at least work right. I see they have working chats too. I can't get chats to work here.
I downloaded what they told me to and its STILL not right. Please Jenny...listen up!!

I'm with happily ever after - I am beginning to hate these people! (and I wish there was a practise area of the boards to show you how to use the different features - I wanted to quote and couldn't make it work!).

Please DON"T replace this picture anywhere but the home page for community - it sucks loading this picture on to every page and then scrolling past it!! Some of us are using older computers and an excess of meaningless graphics like this is NOT user friendly. Thanks.

Funny about the stock photo statement; I sell on eBay and they have recently used the exact same photo a couple of times on their homepage. Weird!
