I love the magazine, I love the recipes, but some things about this website I am not thrilled about.

a.) From the home page if I so to "Community" and select "bulletin boards", I then have to go to 3 other links to actually get to the boards.

b) Most recipe websites when you click on the box to make the item printer friendly will format the recipe to one page. Eating well often prints out two and prints out stuff that may not be necessary such as reviews.

I agree with you on both points.

Now that they have redesigned the web page things are much more cluttered and harder to find, unless you are looking for ads they are everywhere.

Please continue to list your feedback here--we do pay attention.

RE: clicking 3 times to get to the BB, we're in the process of updating the architecture of our website and that annoying problem will be fixed soon.

I'll foward your other comments to our web team.

Thanks for your feedback.

A comment about the website.
I have been going to the Diabetes page for awhile now and I am wondering why the recipes don't change like they do on the main page. The same recipe for Orange Scented Beef has been there since I signed up. Are more recipes being developed for this area?

I am new to this forum and am already ready to give up on it. I registered, and then sent a question to "ask the experts" for which I have received no reply. I also find it extremely difficult to thread my way through all the links to get to the forums.

The diabetes and weight management modules have been refreshed.

As I mentioned before, we're working on making it only one-click to get from the home page to the bulletin boards and will be refreshing the look of the forums.

Lazeegurl, I emailed you.

That was quick - very nice. I appreciate new recipes. I don't have any trouble navigating the site.

Lazeegurl, I sent it at 10:43 am yesterday--I just resent it--maybe check your junk mail too in case it's getting bumped there?

Hi Carolyn: I just checked my "junk" mail. No reply from you there either. I will just try the forums. Perhaps that will be the best place to discuss my question.

Can you email me your email address to make sure I have it right? I'm using the one in your profile and matching it up with the question asked by that email address, but maybe it's incorrect? My email is carolyn@eatingwell.com

I have a suggestion for the email updates that come every few weeks. I like them since they're often things that I haven't tried for some reason and are probably in EW issues I have on file at home. Could you put the month & year the recipe ran when you send out those updates? I'd rather use the original magazine & flag the page rather than reprint a lose page that can get lost. Thanks.

Do you mean the e-newsletters? If so, would you want the issue reference with the recipe name?

I agree about adding an issue# and date to the newsletter recipes. If it's not in the EQ magazine perhaps you could label it as "web exclusive" or web extra.

Which brings me to a question...was the recipe, The Soy-Glazed Beef & Vegetable Rolls in the magazine? If it is, I can't find it. ??? I'm going to make these this weekend!

TIA
Patti
