Any other info on this? Certain uh, ’developments’ have prompted a switch.


What other info?


About importing ratings. I heard levifunk on the more restrictive website had some software download, but I don’t want to get banhammered by asking about it over there.


I haven’t been on BA since todd’s hacker skillz self imploded. I’m not sure if the review downloader still works with the new site as you may have to be logged on to get it to work? mybeermanager.com Either way, it just downloaded your reviews, it didn’t map/upload to RB.

That was a project I was interested in doing, but the mapping/uploading abilities are above my excel VBA skillz. :(

Its a great idea, mapping logic should be able to connect 90% of the entries. As uncertain matches or multiple matches arise, a simple prompt asking the user to pick from a narrowed list, and then remembering the match for future users, should solve the other 10%.
