OK, I have now enabled easy toggling between the old site and the new site.

Eric,

I love this feature. I don't use the original CT often but for the few things I do, this makes it much easier.

I still like the notes on my wines on the start page in CT.

• I upgraded to JQuery 1.4.4 from 1.4.3 (and just very recently from 1.4.2 to 1.4.3) and from JQuery UI 1.7.2 to 1.8.7. The latter should set me up to try out the native JQuery autocomplete UI instead of the legacy one I have been dragging around.
• One new feature with the JQuery UI is the ability to turn on dropdowns in the calendar popups to quickly navigate by year or month. I turned those on. This version also has much better international support, so I soon hope to turn on popup calendars for users outside of the US.
• I also upgraded ColorBox from an very early version to the current version. This is the modal overlay layer that I use for the Tasting Note assistant and Rating assistant. I switched from a black/grey overlay to a white/fade overlay at the same time.

• Clicking on a wineglass icon near the bottom of the screen will 'ease' the screen up enough to allow the full wine popup menu to display.
• Calendar popups should have proper z-index and not be obscured by other onscreen elements.
• On your own homepage or when viewing your own public profile page, the count of tagged lists should now properly reflect any private lists and not just public lists. When viewing other user's public profile pages you will only see the count of public lists (since that is all you can see.)

• As with other recent AJAX/dialog updates, error validation happens on the fly.
• Now you can finally edit individual tagged wines to add or edit desired sizes, prices or per tagged wine notes. And you can finally remove/delete a wine from a tagged list.
• The list focus dropdown at the upper left is now more cosmetically integrated into the site with a red menu. I have also added items to easily navigate to the list of tagged lists.
• COOL NEW FEATURE: Now you can navigate between the individual lists AND can show one massive list of all your tagged wines. For wishlist/tagged-list junkies this will hopefully be very welcome functionality.

Thanks Eric.

This will push my use of CTBETA to over 99%.

• If you display one or more of the custom dropdowns (for vintages, summarization, sorting etc, they are all over the site), the ESC key now hides those.
• At the top of each wine page there was a dropdown that used to display "Browse Other Vintages" versus on the old site where one would see a list of the 20 most recent vintages at the left edge of the screen. I found the new site a little frustrating, as you would need to use the dropdown to see how many other vintages exist. The very simple solution (and which provides more easy scannability than the old site) is that I changed the text to show the count of vintages. So now the dropdown might say "Other Vintages (68)" etc. It is also more visually consistent with the tabs just below that show count of tasting notes and count of professional reviews.

• The TagList view where you can see all of your lists needs a cleanup to the new format. It is functional but hideous for now.
• Maybe have the My Wishlist link at the upper right remember your last wishlist view (whether all lists, all tagged wines, or a specific list).
• When adding or drinking a bottle, under the advanced options, it would be really cool if the wine in question is on one or more of a user's tagged lists, do provide the option to untag from the list automatically at the same time you drink the bottle or add the purchase.
• In that theme, maybe I could/should add a per-list property to let a user specify if the list is acquisition or consumption oriented? Then based on that trigger defaults in the aforementioned operation to remove by default from consumption oriented lists when drinking and remove by default from purchase oriented lists when purchasing. Just a little nicety.
• Filtering of wines in wishlist by producer, variety etc. seems to be broken. I thought I had it ready to go on that but apparently not...
• Right now CTBETA has a bulk-tag feature with the bulk edit mode. It would be nice to add a bulk remove operation to let you quickly yank a bunch of wines off your tagged list(s).
• Once I get printing working, I need to make sure it can handle the new "all lists" option. I haven't looked at that code in a long time.

sure it has been brought up already but....

I cannot update new vintage based off of existing wine. the popup appears but when i click save/update it defaults back to the generic search window.


also, a running list of known bugs/fixes might cut down on relisting errors. looked for one, but nit c=very hard...

cheers, liking the new changes.

• If editing a specific pending purchase from the wine detail sub-page, clicking ACCEPT PENDING will change the delivery date to today's date.

• When you click to submit the button changes to a progress animation, so it is not possible to double-submit.
• I now trap a number of error conditions such as an invalid delivery date or the failure to select any purchases, and these give appropriate feedback.
• Upon successful completion I was just refreshing the screen. Now, like the old site, I actually redirect you to a screen where you can bulk relocate bottles. In the FUTURE I intend to give you a few choices including closing the dialog and refreshing the screen of pending deliveries, bulk-relocating or eventually an individual bottle editable screen.
• HUMAN SPEAK: Please don't accept more than a few hundreds bottles for delivery at once, or you will hit a user interface glitch. GEEKSPEAK: Also for the future, right now if you deliver more than 400 or so bottles it will choke due to querystring length. In the future I plan to do some work to use querystring based lookups when the number of bottles is small enough. If/when you get towards the error condition I will switch the form from http GET to http POST to avoid the error. I tend to avoid POST, as you can't refresh it or save it as a favorite due, but it gets you around the 4096 character limitation of URL's.

• In the MY CELLAR view the top area of the right hand panel (with the mini label image and wine name) now displays as in other browsers with the image at the upper right and the name to the left of it.
• On the homepage the list of recent wines/consumed etc. now display as other browsers and not all crunched app.
• When viewing the list of people, the preview for that person that shows recent wines tasted now has the wine type icon and name together as expected.
• On the EDIT PROFILE form the shaded headings now extend to the margins as intended. I also fixed double lines below the profile picture. Same with double lines below the Facebook controls on the drinking and tasting note page.
• No more horizontal scrollbar when adding a note.
• When viewing a tasting story the selected wine now has the yellow shading merge properly with the right hand pane.
  
• Not sure how this was missed for so long, but when drinking a bottle the toggle to show more/fewer of the consumption types was not visible in IE7. I wonder why people didn't complain that most consumption types were missing. Fixed.
  
• When drinking a bottle there was a horizontal scrollbar in the list of bottles. Fixed.
• I sorted out all of the IE7 weirdness in search views with the navpane hidden. All manner of funny margin issues have come and gone here, and I think I FINALLY have it fully understood and kicked.

• When in search views with the side panel hidden, using the arrow keys or clicking on a row will no longer throw a script error. I could do some more script containment for classic mode, but I put in a simple IF check to cauterize these cases that are not even supposed to be running anyway without the side panel there.
