What's New at StogieRate.com
In addition to the contest, we have continued to work on the web site in an effort to make it more useful. Below are a list of a few of our recent updates to the site.1. Auto-save on reviews - This feature has been requested several times and it is now up and running on StogieRate.com. When writing reviews, the text that you have written will be automatically saved every few seconds in case you accidentally navigate away from the site or close your web browser before you finish. You will know when your review has been saved by a small pop-up message that will appear below the review text area (see picture below). If you DO lose a review in progress, you can restore it by simply choosing to review the same cigar over again and when the review writing screen appears, your previous text and ratings will be restored.
2. Easier inventory increment/decrement - Previously, when you wanted to update your remaining stock, you had to type the new value into the input text box and then press Enter. To save time, now +/- buttons will appear next to the input text box and the inventory may be incremented or decremented using these (note: you can still type the value directly into the text box as well).
3. Cigar information links - We have expanded our cigar database to now include links to the official web sites for cigars. These links are labeled "Official site" and can be viewed both from the cigar detail pages or from the search results page (see picture below). While many cigars in our database now have these links, we are still in the process of updating our cigar records where possible. We hope that folks will find these links useful when trying to find out more information about the cigars.
And that's it for this update! We will be back soon with more news about our next cigar giveaway, as well as what new enhancements we are cooking up for the site. As always, we love to hear feedback on how we can improve the site, or if you encounter any issues using it. Please drop us a line via our Contact Page.
Until next time, happy cigar smoking!
