Site updates - Humidor improvements and more

Since it has been a couple of weeks since we've posted an update, we would like to take a minute to highlight a few of our recent updates to the site. Our most recent updates are aimed squarely at making the lives easier for those of you storing very large collections of cigars.
We have several more enhancements currently in the works and will post another update once they are ready. As the amount of information that we store is growing, we are also considering new ways of tying the information together to enhancement its usefulness and make it easier to navigate.
As always, we love hearing feedback, and the best way to get the site working the way you want is to let us know!

Site Updates

  • Both of the Dashboard and Humidor screens may now be sorted. For example, in the Dashboard view you can now sort your highest rated cigars from top to bottom.
  • Both of the Dashboard and Humidor screens may now be searched with keywords. You can now look up your cigars via: Brand Name, Cigar Name, Size Name (e.g. Robusto, Toro etc.), Wrapper Type, and Collection Name. Simply type one or more key words into the text box and hit the Find button.
  • We have added a new Collection Manager screen (accessible via the Tools drop down menu within the Humidor screen.) This screen allows you to add, delete, or rename your collections.
  • We added an Edit Review button directly to the Review page for users viewing their own reviews. This saves you the time of needing to navigate to the My Reviews page. You will still need to use the My Reviews page to delete reviews however.
  • If you see that we are missing a cigar size, you can now add the size to the Stogie Rate database directly from the cigar's detail page by clicking the link directly below the Available Vitolas list. Example cigar page.
  • We revamped the FAQ page to be easier to use. We will be expanding the help topics listed in the FAQ in the near future as well.
  • Bug Fixes: We fixed a bug affecting Internet Explorer users that would periodically double post a review or add a duplicate humidor entry when adding new cigars. We also fixed a bug in the Dashboard screen that periodically caused a few of the records to not display.
That's all for now. We hope that you will find these updates useful and enjoy using the site. Until next time, happy cigar smoking!
