@Grubby you nearly gave me a heart attack this weekend. I was mixing and trying to create a new recipe when suddenly everything went down. I thought I lost all my work for a minute there.

I assume it was just you running updates at that exact moment.

That’s not good, I will take a look at what is happening there, the site shouldn’t go down at all :thinking:

Thanks for letting me know :+1:

The site was up, but it would not let me create a new recipe. It was acting all kinds of funny. So I left it for a rest of the night (the Mrs. was all too happy). Next day it was working great again. Love the improvements by the way.

Does it let you create a recipe now?

Interesting, I’ll spend some time going through every feature today to make sure nothing is causing conflicts

Get in there! :rofl:

Thank you, I’ve made a lot of changes to the core, things you won’t see but should improve performance and stability, at least thats the plan :joy:

Yes, I got 2 new recipes live without any problems other than the fact that I hate coconut.

Flavour Reviews and Flavour Rating

  • You can leave a flavour review without giving it a rating, or just rate the flavour without a review
  • If you rate a flavour after writing a review, the review’s rating will be updated accordingly
  • Adjusting your rating after you’ve already reviewed a flavour will also update the rating associated with your review
  • You can now sort flavour reviews by rating

@Grubby , what do you think about adding an “ALL” option to the drop down, for number of flavors to view? Here :arrow_down:

And, having the ability to move forward or back to the previous page, from the top, as well as the bottom of each page. Instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom, to change pages. Not urgent, but more user friendly. :arrow_down:

Is that stash?

I’ll look at adding pagination to the top but I’ve never seen it :+1:

Yes, and for “My Recipes” also this would be cool. Ty
