Hi Everyone!
As you all know, a couple of weeks ago we rolled out changes to incorporate enhancements requested by members. We’ve carefully been watching everyone’s comments and requests. You folks are the best! After reviewing the input, we want to let you know about updates we’ve made based on your feedback.
Bigger & Better: We’ve made the notification icons a little bigger and added a splash of color.
New Heart Icon: We’ve separated your favorite cooks’ activities. Now, you can easily see when your favorite cooks post recipes, add cookbooks, etc. by clicking on the new heart icon (located in the upper right part of any page).
Notification Counts: You will still see numbers next to the notification icons. However, now they will stay until you’ve read each item or marked them as read. A red number means something new has happened since you last checked.
Email Notifications: If you’ve chosen to get email notifications, you should be receiving emails in your inbox when favorite cooks add recipes and cookbooks, comments are added to discussions, you are sent personal messages, etc. (To reduce redundancy, we had eliminated sending these emails when you may have already viewed certain sections on the site. This was requested by a number of members, but the majority of users wanted it to remain so we’ve added it back in.)
We know some are asking why we made these changes. First, we receive suggestions/feedback all the time and try to incorporate enhancements as possible. Second, members access Just A Pinch from multiple devices now – home computers, tablets and smartphones. We’ve made these requested changes in a new functional design to allow us to launch, shortly, an optimal viewing experience across all platforms. (Yes, we want to deliver much of the function you get on a PC for tablets and smartphones.)
The core of the Just A Pinch community is YOU – the home cooks. We thank you for being loyal members!
Happy Pinching!
