Updates to Just A Pinch

We've Got A New Look

Yes, there is a new look. But your Utensil Drawer is still here – just reorganized a bit. Click on the Utensil Drawer (top right of the screen next to your name), and you can easily post a recipe, access your Recipe Box, go to recipes you posted and more.

Click on the My Kitchen tab and you can access your profile, recipe box, cookbooks, conversations and notifications. For Premium Perks members, you’ll also see your menu calendar and grocery list.

NavigationYou’ve probably noticed that the navigation tab stays with you when you scroll down a screen now. We’ve heard from many, many members that they want to jump from section to section a little easier. This new feature means you can easily be within Recipes and click over to Janet’s Notebook to read the latest post.

Stay up-to-date about when new recipes are added by your favorite cooks, discussions are started in your groups and when new comments are added from the new Notifications page.

Click on the globe in the upper right corner of the site and you’ll see a summary of your notifications. You can click on a specific notification and be taken right to that post. Or, if you click ‘See All,’ you’ll be taken to a page that summarizes everything by day. Not sure what you’ve read or not read? Anything you have not read will be gray … things you have read will be white.

The big thing everyone has been asking us for is group messaging. We’ve combined what you love about the post office and chat into a single new Conversation.

Conversations You can start a new Conversation by clicking on the thought bubble at the upper right corner of the screen. Click New Conversation, then start typing in the names of the person or people you’d like to chat with. Type away, hit send and you’ve started a group chat! Part of a chat you don’t want to be included on. You can easily leave a chat by clicking on the red arrow and then leave conversation. You can add people rename the conversation or clear all messages here too.

We see many of you asking why we’ve made these changes. Well, we know that you aren’t just using a computer to access Just A Pinch anymore. These days, you’re visiting us from your tablets and mobile devices too.

We want to make sure when you visit us on your mobile device, you can do everything that you can on your computer. These enhancements are the first steps in enabling you to have the best possible user experience on JustAPinch.com from all mobile devices. The new mobile/tablet capabilities will be out very soon.

We’d love to know what you think!
