    The black background is still there. You must be viewing the site on a small screen or in a tiny browser window.

    From what forums are those homepage threads being streamed from? on the old site you got the latest posts from the forums you subscribed to...

    What if some kind of points system was restored, a system under which every beer you review, every bottle photo you submit, and other contributions you make to the site are rewarded? Maybe this points system could be named after a Hindu/Buddhist belief system that basically describes how your decisions and actions affect your ultimate destiny. Would that get you reviewing again?

    That's in the works, and will happen, but most likely not until the redesign.

    I believe I remember reading somewhere that you've been tracking all reviews and other contributions since The Points System That Shall Not Be Discussed went away, even though those stats haven't been visible. I hope this is also true.

    I like the integration of the two portions of the site and the visual improvements a lot. One change I noticed, not sure if it was intended or not, is that you cannot open the button to review in a new browser tab (like you could before). I miss that feature as I often open them all up from my Gots when I have a bottle share to review or when pulling them from my review notebook for data entry.

    Any chance on re-enabling that?

    It's due to the links being buttons now. I'll look into options.

    Note: If you click on "Style" it'll sort your list by style. I could always bold when sorting on beer name, brewery or style too.

    No doubt. I guess I'm just finding it hard to visually dissect from the 'Brewery' line, as both are the same font/size/color/etc.

    Ahhhh something like that sounds perfect!! Thanks for the reply!!

    I agree, I liked the old "database" view better with each field under its own sortable column. Guess you can't please everyone.

    Doe not work because it is a button now (no longer just a link) - exactly what I used to use before the most recent change.
