Disclaimer: This is a soft launch. We are aware there will be issues, please let us know if you are not able to log in, post, etc. There is also housekeeping to be done, some cleanup of older posts, malformed links, embedded videos, etc. that we will tackle. But first and foremost, let's get you posting!
I'm very exited to announce The NEW Hot Pepper!
The goal:
Modern look and features, a re-focus on hot peppers while maintaining all the categories of interest you love.
The result:
A lot has changed, but the foundation is still here. We've condensed a lot of categories, but within each category there is a "subject" tag selector for your post, which in essence, gives you even more choices than before. For example, those who wanted an organic gardening category can now find that within Hot Pepper Growing!
You'll see the headers Hot Stuff and Hot or Not Stuff. This allows you to still talk "hot stuff" in both areas, instead of limiting it to hot and not sections, as before. That's why you see Food, Beverage, and Post Your Eats! in Hot or Not Stuff. One place! Spicy shrimp pizza or classic margherita, one section! Need to ask about smoking temperatures? Choose Food and "smoking." Etc!
Post Your Eats! and Glogs are now blog style forums, so check them out by visiting those forums.
Organization and staying focused on hot peppers was key but all the old subjects are still here, plus more! The Lounge even has some "outdoors" and "photography" subject tags.
