What's Going On?
In short, we've spent a lot of time and effort to get the new eat.at online. Our long-time members enjoy the eat.at Recipe Swap and many use it every day. As we know there has been a lot of excitement and enthusiasm for the launch of the new site and for the updated Recipe Swap, we have setup some working options for our awesome members, to be used while we continue ongoing development.
First - YES there is a working Recipe Swap and if you are an existing member, your account is fully active. You can login right now with your existing login credentials!
The second item, is all of the new features that are coming up in the new version of the site. While the new site is not fully functional and ready to launch, there are some new features that you can use right away and take advantage of, as a part of our pre-launch, live beta.
These pre-launch features, while "beta," are in fact fully operational. If you setup an account, it IS your account. Your activities will not be erased as updates are made nor when the site is officially launched. Essentially, you'll just have a head start on everyone else.
Here is the caveat: Both the live Recipe Swap and the pre-launch of the new Eat.at website, are "beta" versions.
This means there may be some bugs and functionality problems. We hope that by offering this pre-launch beta, we will get feedback from all of the participants whenever they encounter a bug or other issue such as a "I don't understand how this works" type of issue. If YOU don't understand it, chances are others don't either. If it is confusing to you, it is likely confusing to others.
While this early access is a privilege, it also can be a service to your fellow eat.at members. This feedback will help to expedite getting the site into 100% launch ready status and to improve the site overall for yourself and for the larger eat.at community.
Please understand the distinction and that each of the two versions of the site will require a separate login. Also please note that if you choose to particpate in the live Beta; while there are many fully functional features; you will also from time to time encounter text that to some appears to be gibberish or in some foreign language. The text is in latin and it is sometimes referred to as "Lorem Ipsum text." In short, this text is there as a placeholder for some content that is not yet published or finished.
