Graemeg,
Click on Community notes first, then Show All. The two lists are separate, just as in CT

Tough to find if this has been addressed yet...

I spent about 15 minutes stubbornly trying to figure out how to post a Tasting Note on another forum with Grape Stories and finally gave up and used CellarTracker.  This brings up perhaps the biggest problem I have so far with Grape Stories (besides the name): navigation and "where to find things" is not intuitive so one spends forever trying to find a feature you figure exists and in the end, can't decide whether the feature is gone or you just can't find it.  But it is Beta so I'll keep trying but it at least after a few hours, Grape Stories seems to be a Round Hole and I am a Square Peg.

I assume Eric knows that the "Share" button is not functional: it creates a permalink to the same wine #1 no matter what, email doesn't send, and twitter indicates it is linked to "mattdente" account.

Not sure if this is already on this list . . .

When using the Drinkability feature, I cannot edit the dates. I added new wine, then went to this page. The blanks show up to input them, but their is no "Save" or "Update" button that I see.

Also, it's hard to replace focus on my Iphone.I can click on the drinking window (since the iphone formats this a tel.nr hyperlink), which resets focus, but then I need to cancel trying to phone the 'number'

• Made some performance tweaks that seem to be helping a lot. I have more to do. Yesterday had VERY, VERY heavy load (5x normal actually), and the site did not handle it well.
  
• Clicking on the comments link from a user's homepage was not filtering correctly. Now you should see their comments properly.
  
• Many links that were not implemented now throw up an alert to say they are not implemented. I figure that people would just sort of get that if a link didn't work I knew. Apparently not. 90% of the emails and reports I am getting are on NYI links.
• I also removed the static SHARE dialog in favor of the prior NYI treatment. The real dialog will be back soon.
• Scrollbars were showing up in FireFox for the three modal popup dialogs (wine rating assistant, tasting note assistant, share dialog). Fixed. I need to sanity check the other browsers, and may switch to a different modal dialog codenase as the one I amusing is a little touchy.
  
• The signin pop dialog no longer juts off the edge of the screen on smaller displays when you click the SIGN IN link at upper left. I am going to try to come up with a general fix to make sure that no dialog EVER pops off the bottom or right edge of the screen.
• When drinking a bottle or adding a tasting note, if the note/bottle are defective then the LIKE/DISLIKE radio buttons are now disabled, and of course you are not forced to make a LIKE/DISLIKE choice.
• When multiple people commented on a tasting note AND specified whether or not the note was helpful, there was duplication. So with three comments and helpful votes on the notes, you would see each comment three times. Four comments and four helpful votes, each comment shown four times. Fixed.
• I made some webkit (Safari & Chrome) specific style fixes to the search controls to fix some sizing and alignment issues.
• I fixed the IE accelerator XML to actually link to GrapeStories and properly use UTF8.
• The Twitter control when drinking a bottle now says "Drinking" instead of "Tasting".
• Some people were seeing issues on a user profile page where paging through fans/friends etc. would not work. This was due to NYI links. If you followed a non-functional link this would sometimes add a # to the end of the hyperlink. And that broke the paging script. Anyway, since the NYI links are fixed people won't hit this.
• I cleaned up the NYI notifications box on the homepage so that the signup date is formatted correctly and so that the link to the Alerts & Notifications settings is shown below rather than in the heading.

• I will add a new default to the POPULAR WINES box on the homepage and wines landing page. IF you have wines in your cellar the site will default to showing you notes from other users on wines in your cellar. This is probably the #1 issue that people are running into. (Not realizing that it is just not the default.) In general I will be cleaning this up as well to add a more/less toggle to let you see more notes, maybe just a couple of lines per note, but with easy inplace toggle to lengthen a note.
• Will try to sort out the dialog positioning to always keep them onscreen.
  
• A bottle of 1989 Haut Brion and a steak. I need a treat. It has been a long, tiring, exciting and challenging few days.

When I click on "My Cellar" I see bottles in my home cellar, mixed with bottles that are pre-arrival (as if I have them already). What I don't see are bottles I have in offsite storage.

Basically, according to "My Cellar" I have about half the inventory I really have and a 1/4 of it hasn't actually arrived yet.

Might as well consolidate a list here instead of having tons of threads.

When I'm viewing someone's profile, if under "Fans of whoever" I click on more, all it does is seem to refresh the page... doesn't actually show me more fans of that user. Oh, I just tried again and this time it just brought me back to the root, www.grapestories.com/  Likewise, when I'm on a user's profile and click on "Fans", I get nothing... Seems most of the "more" buttons don't do anything (same with "most active people"). Oh wait, the more button on active people just worked! I clicked on it, and about 20 seconds later it finally shows me the more people... hmm.

When I'm viewing my whole cellar I can still organize the list by score, but only the cellartracker score. Previously I could sort by any of the professional scores as well. Is that an option here?

When I'm on Eric's profile, it says he has left 6 comments. When I click on comments, it brings me to a page that says "0 Comments"

Another general vibe I get is just that navigation is kind of slow... I know the old site was crazy simple, but it was also really snappy. I mean both in responsiveness, and also in getting to the data that's meaningful (takes more clicks, more waiting now). I may be in the minority of users, but I'd prefer the snappy simple feel than the busy feel of the new site.

On the old site when I create a tagged list the maximum price and note fields for that list show on the wine page. In the new site you cannot see that information on the wine page, you can only see it by clicking through to the list itself. If you have a large list you then have to do a lot of scrolling and hunting to find that wine on the list, and then back out to the wine page to continue working on the wine. It's less efficient than it used to be.

I found that, but from the home page, I saw Pending deliveries ...and said.  oh that makes sense let me handle it there...  but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO  Eric had to make it difficult.   Just kidding Eric, although it would be nice to take delivery of pending orders from the pending orders link  on the home page.

Huh? Link please. The results, AS WITH CELLARTRACKER TODAY, show all wines, instock and pending. But it makes no sense to me how the site could show a subset with some locations excluded. I don;t even have that kind of query feature on the site.

Sorting by price is a tool I used often in the old CT> it is not a sortable field currently. There are so many moving parts to the new site it will take us a while to get comfortable with all the tools but it looks great so far. Thanks Eric.

When entering multiple bottles from multiple producers I notice the purchase information applies to all wines in the list. It would be nice if we had the ability to set the source for each type of wine in the list.

I have had the same problem on both searches I saved. I am using IE8.

• Saved searches
• Bulk actions such as drinking and relocating from the individual bottle screen. Bulk tagging of wines.
• Adding food tags.
• Much of the label image functionality such as tagging vintages or removing an image.
• Changing note display options (toggling whether or not to show score-only notes)
• Posting a public message
• Toggling to individual bottle display
• All of the advanced search popup forms

sorry to pile on...when I am looking at the recent tasting notes of my wines (on homepage or the "wines" page), my favorite tasters are not identified with stars, like they are on the wine page or the individual tasting note page
