Beta Testing
I think we might just be ready to have a test.
Please.
Go to http://www.whaticaneat.co.uk and let me know what you think? Please, also, let me know if there are still things that refuse to work. My head started turning inside out in confusion.
And speed. Speed may be an issue here.
And then, when it's working, I shall be going to stick two metaphorical fingers up at the schmoes who tried to impede the process. Namely, two ex-boyfriends. I have not yet worked out the best way of doing this.

Ooooh. You guys are good. Heather found an error that I'd never find in a month of sundays (what happens if you look for a recipe and don't specify an allergy at all!), Jase pointed out capital letter crassness on my part, which I think I've dealt with using the joy of a cascading style sheet, and we have progress.
I remember the last time anyone gave feedback, it was about copyright. It was big boss in my department. The lawyers will check it, if I ever get to link it to work. Sigh. A dream. What I really need is an entrepreneur and some time off work just to work on whaticaneat, and also better access to the database. It has some issues with non-ascii characters, it would seem (these issues do not occur on the version on my laptop. This is odd).

You guys really are good. More pictures. I'll have to try harder with those. I did have ideas for immune system pictures. However, pictures of cheese, and goat's cheese and milk, and tomatoes and so forth would make it a lot prettier, wouldn't they?
Please, do proof bits of it. There's about 10,000 words in there in total: so I'm not expecting anything too intensive on that score

Seems to be working nicely, but I have one usability comment: the enforced upper case in the registration form doesn't feel right, especially as people are well aware that usernames and passwords are often case sensitive.
Speed is fine at the moment.
Oh, and do you have authorisation to use the recipes where they are written by someone else? Not sure if there is a copyright issue here, but there may be.

Arrrr.
I haven't gone through the whole site yet, but wanted to say that's a really cool thing you're doing. Personally I don't have any food allergies, but I can see where it would be a super-userful tool for those that do.
I'll do some proofreading, cuz well that's what I do at work lol.
um, a missing comma or full stop in a couple of places, and an erratic use of the colon [i'm picky] ... otherwise it's looking good [and no, i can't, i'm far too tired to actually note these things down and therefore can't remember where they are]
.
if i had a food intolerance or allergy i would certainly be more than happy to use the site. except there's no pictures! i like pictures. they make me happy.
You know, I was the first person to comment here, and then got a bit sidetracked with husband and now other people have got in before me. Only comment is no longer valid, as the problem has been fixed.
Well done for all the hard work. As for sticking two fingers up - would repeating the comment about a fat, overopinionted guy with a small dick help at all ?
