Dine Here News

Request for Comments

June 6th, 2008 - 8:30 AM - We released an update earlier this week to enhance Dine Here including the much needed value rating. Most of the other enhancements you don't see but serve to make Dine Here better such as improved moderation tools and performance enhancements. We would like to do another update while we continue to work on the new web site and are requesting feedback from you on what we should do.

What features would you like to see added to Dine Here? What do you think Dine Here does well or doesn't do very well? We want to improve the site and need your feedback. Please tell us what you think.

Updated Documentation

June 4th, 2008 - 11:15 AM - We have updated the review guide and have added a Frequently Asked Questions page. We hope this will clear up questions you may have as to why reviews are removed and how to write a good review. Please let us know if you have any comments.

Latest on Move

June 3rd, 2008 - 3:50 PM - They finally restored connectivity to our old data centre so we can at least redirect users to our new server and you can access Dine Here. We may lose this ability so if you are having trouble accessing the site, use www.dinehere.com instead of www.dinehere.ca and it should work. We hope to have this issue straightened out soon and prevent future interruptions.

Dine Here Move

June 3rd, 2008 - 12:30 AM - We had to perform an emergency move at midnight on June 3rd. As we were moving, we lost connectivity to our old data centre and there were some complications. (The same data centre where there was a huge explosion a few days ago.) We *think* we have the kinks worked out but please keep your eye open for problems and let us know if you spot anything. We couldn't do a graceful forward so some users may be getting timeout errors. This issue should be resolved in the next few hours.

You may notice the new rating system including the value rating. The overall rating is no longer user submitted and is instead an average of food, service, value and ambiance. As well, please take a moment to read our updated review guide.

Dine Here is Back...

June 2nd, 2008 - 3:00 PM - Since Saturday, Dine Here was unavailable due to an electrical explosion at our data centre destroying three walls and knocking out the power. Luckily, no servers were damaged and no people were injured. The site was restored Monday afternoon after about 48 hours of downtime.
