We've been plugging away on the new site for awhile now. Things are looking fantastic. You don't have too long of a wait, so hang in there. The site is immeasurably better (read cleaner, simpler, more useful). http://blog.grouprecipes.com/?p=15 Site speed issues resolved. Added a new box and all is well. http://blog.grouprecipes.com/?p=14 The site has been moving slowly the past few days. We're sorry about that. We are adding new capacity this week to alleviate the load. Stay tuned on that front. Other than that we are in the process of working on major functionality upgrades. Will post here when everything is up ... http://blog.grouprecipes.com/?p=13 Quick post. More UI work is being done this week. You will notice some small changes on search, tag, and recipe pages. We are also adding tag/flavor refinement for the Directory. There will also be a few simple style changes to your "my stuff" page. Just a few things to ... http://blog.grouprecipes.com/?p=12 We have had a menus feature written for more than a month now, but didn't push it live because we had no where to put it.

You can now edit all of your comments (on recipe, personal, & place pages).

In the past, this would entail going to a person's food page to see their list of submissions. Now, you can simply click the "see all of [username's] dishes" link. This ... http://blog.grouprecipes.com/?p=9 I got a few emails from people asking why the taste compatibility values are different on the people search and the actual user's page. The answer is computational complexity. The foodie-to-foodie comparisons on a user's personal page take into account a heck of a lot more factors and are more ... http://blog.grouprecipes.com/?p=8 If you check out your "my stuff" page you can see the new recipe management system. We are calling it v0.1 because it only has a glimpse of the functionality that it will soon have. Regardless, it is a vast improvement over what was in place before. You can now ... http://blog.grouprecipes.com/?p=7 We just re-worked the "foodie-to-foodie" comparison algorithm and are pushing it out on the live boxes this afternoon.
