Recipes Files Mess Up

[E K Brewer]

On Monday, my working recipes were suddenly moved from the Default File to my Possible Brews File (a file I created) and visa versa. For a brief period, all my working recipes disappeared. This was very concerning. It doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the system. What is going on? In addition, when I access the website on my phone, I can no longer call up a recipe by touching the title on the screen. I think that you have a bug.

I was notifying the technical administrators of your issue, they’ll have a look at it.

E K,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm one of the developers for the site and am looking into the issue(s) that you've seen this week.

I haven't been able to recreate the same behaviors that you describe above in my initial testing. Could you please provide some additional context for what you were doing and what your device/browser is so that I can narrow down what is happening?

Specifically, you mentioned that you were using the website on your phone. Could you verify that you are viewing the site within your web browser and not the Brewer's Friend app? Secondly, could you verify whether you are using an iOS or Android device and whether it is a phone or table? Finally, for device information, could you verify what web browser (assuming you are viewing the website) that you are using? (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.)

As for the behavior that you are seeing, could you please verify what it is that you are (or aren't) seeing? It sounds as though there are two issues that you've picked up on: you have recipes that were moved between folders in your account without intending to move them and you are not able to click on recipe titles to view the recipe. Is that correct?

First, regarding the movement of recipes between folders, I don't see any obvious problems at this time. I'll place some additional activity logging in place for recipe move actions to track why folders are being modified. If you find any of your recipes moved to other folders in the system without having moved them intentionally, please follow up with me and I can look at activity to see how those are being modified.

Second, with regards to the recipe titles not allowing you to view the recipe when you click on them, could you verify where it is that you see this happening on the site? I assume that you are seeing it on the `My Brewing` > `My Recipes` list page? Is this (approximately) what your page and recipe titles look like where you are seeing this behavior? Does tapping on the "Edit" icon allow you to edit the recipe?

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

Cheers,

-b-

BrewCurious,
Thanks for the post.
The problem with files moving from Default to Possible Brews happened when I was creating a new brew, when I was on our PC. For a while, I thought that I had lost my default files completely. I have now moved them back to Default. I'm sure other users have had this problem, but I haven't the time right now to find them.
The problem with not being able to call up a recipe, when touching the title in My Recipes, only occurs on my phone. I can access a recipe by pressing the Edit icon, but that's obviously not so convenient. This is a problem that has developed only recently. I can call up a recipe on the PC by clicking on the title in the usual way.
My phone is a Galaxy A14, that works on Android 14.
I hope that this helps.
E K Brewer

FYI @BrewCurious clicking on the recipe name on IPhone works
