Vinocellar.com has just gone through a major upgrade. As you'll notice the entire site looks a lot different. The forums are now part of the main website and integrated very tightly. There is a new Private Messaging system, and some old useless features like the GoogleMaps tab is gone.
Is all this change good? In the long run... Yes! Definitely! I realize however there is still some work to do.... there are some usability issues, a couple bugs here and there, and the site honestly is pretty drab, but over the next few days and weeks I'm going to keep updating the site based on your feedback in the Feedback Center.
Once the forums are running smoothly and everyone is logged in and happy with the change, I'll then begin to implement some new free features. Finally.... after four years, I'm getting to the good stuff. I've even modified my work hours during the week so I can spend more time working on Vinocellar. It's amazing what a trip to Sonoma will do to a person.
In closing, thank you all for being a part of Vinocellar, and thanks for your patience during this transition period! I'm working hard to make sure it's a place you want to stay!
