I also don't like not being able to click on a link from any page that gives me the Drinkability Report or Pending Deliveries that used to be on the left side - those are two of the pages I use most.

I do like the general "look" of it and I'll keep giving it a go, and maybe read some of the FAQ's, etc. that were provided, but it's really not convenient to spend a lot of time looking into that - I wish it were easier right off the bat.

I agree -- I can tell if someone likes the wine by their tasting note and/or score.

Also, the ability to comment on tasting notes seems like it will just open up the flood gates for shit flinging.

I'm trying to like this new design, however, I prefer the streamlined simplicity of the old design.

Drinkability and Pending are both off the main menu once you click MY CELLAR.

There is a problem that the search dropdown seems to be landing on the global WINES versus MY CELLAR more than it is meant to. We are looking into that. That said, before you search, just look at the focus menu and figure out if it says WINES or MY CELLAR. It's actually not any different than the old site except there we had a ONLY SHOW MINE checkbox.

Adding a new wine was extremely difficult, time consuming and confusing. Many other changes I did not like either.

It's a bit odd to me that WS is effectively encouraging us to spend time on a different forum. C'est la vie.

BTW, no love here for the new version, but not as much dislike as before.

I've switched back to classic. That wasn't a very long trial on my part I realize.

Is there a way to enter a tasting note when you consume a bottle? I had to do it separately, which was annoying.

Yes, select the option to Drink Bottle. On the next screen you can select which bottle in the cellar you wish to drink, the date, whether you want to Add a Public Tasting Note, etc... As you select options (checkboxes) the screen changes right in front of you adding or removing stuff to save real estate.

VM, takes me seconds to add a new wine but I've been using the new version for well over a year. Once I learned the new version it has been a piece of cake since.
