23 hours away - it felt like forever!

Was I the only one who tried to visit BR a million times because clearly I'm addicted to the site?

Welcome, welcome, welcome back!! 

We hope you love the fresh, new-look site as much as we do!!

Ok, so heads up - we're still tinkering and doing some database stuff, so if you see anything amiss, you can drop me an email and I'll pass it on to the Boffins.

ALSO - the first time a page loads it will be slow (there's a tech reason...but I don't know it).  SO, the more you explore the site and click on different categories and areas etc, the faster it will become overall, for everyone. 

HAHA I know right Maree?! And a little birdie told me that we can expect two new boxes in the next week or so!

I checked a few times when the site was offline. It was an adjustment as I have become so used to checking things up through  the site. It does look cool, I noticed the box tab and think it's a great idea. Now I can always check what's new. Awesome work!

Everything looks much bigger and cleaner. I'm wondering where the tab is for the recently added products? I often check to see if there's anything new that been added that I can review.

Tanny Girl we've just popped it in for you, you can find it on the Home page. The elves are literally adding 100's of products daily so there's always something going on. :-)

Yay! That's great Queenie. I like that feature too so I can add things to my reviews to do list as they're added. 

Is there a tab for the forum still? I had to go through the menu to find it. The forum is the feature I use the most on BR.

I'm popping this on here, as well as sending a message to BR, in case anyone else has noticed the same glitch.  I don't want BR to end up with the same error being reported by us all. 

When viewing reviews on my iPad, I can't see the rating (number of kisses), as it's hidden behind the review box.  My iPad is in portrait (upright, not turned on its side). It's a minor error, but may need to be looked into.

... and after I sent off my email to BR about the above issue, I realised that part of the website is cut off on either side of my iPad screen.  I can't see the Home or Brand Directory buttons, or the panel down the right of the website when my iPad is in portrait (upright).  If I turn it on its side (to landscape), everything appears where it should be.
So much easier to veiw from my phone keep up the brilliant work 
 
Everything looks great!!!

Definitely getting faster at locating what i'm ijnteresting. Just got the message re:double beauty points which is a bonus! I view the website on both my Samsung tablet and desktop computer at home. Its a lot easier to see eveything clearly. I look forward to trying it on my phone when I go shopping. 

PS I also tried to comment on the Estee Lauder post yesterday but it kept coming up blank. I did manage to fill out the survey though.

Great look ladies! 
I was trying to comment on an article and it wasn't showing so I cleaned my phone for viruses etc and still wouldn't work but when I looked after the change it was there lol. My comment on the Estee Lauder article didn't show either all good I wrote another.

I think it’s good, I’m just readjusting to everything at the mo but it’s all pretty straightforward... I like how it’s bigger too, you don’t need to zoom in as much. I think it’s better overall.

 Anyone getting a large number of unread messages or notifications showing if clicking on the Inbox? 
From this screen where I'm typing now, it top toolbar shows as there being 1 inread item in my Inbox.  If I click on it then there's an error page and it shows as 10 unread messages and 97 notifications.

He he he when I was checking my phone for the second or third time it showed up about 581 in my inbox and I was like WHAT THE lol. But when I logged back in again, they disappeared. Could be a slight glitch.

I reported the error earlier this week, by sending an email to BR. It’s a bug in the system that needs to be fixed. I also get a weirdly high number of 978 unread messages when I click on “view noticfications”

I was away last week so clicked on it once and it was down so gave up.... the 'down'' notice was impossible to read on the phone so I just figured I shouldn't be online (which I wasn't anyway)!

Little sad I missed out on double review points, but the week away was worth it.

I like the new format for phones, i don't like not having an easy forum button though. Little disconcerting having the pics so large in the forum, I thought it was broken initially! Is this all the changes now or just phase one?
The new site looks amazing. Well done BR team. Hard work pays off
