I am currently looking for honest feedback from all types of cooks within Torn.

 

The focus of the site is to provide  free education but not just provide step by steps, provide a full what, why, when, how which links directly to dynamic recipes. We are in the V2 stage so far, so lots more to improve and refine, just wanting to see if there is anything I have missed, any great ideas or weakness I may have missed :D

 

Thank you in advance :D

my feed back the drop down menus you can not scroll on to see whats at the bottom the concept is there but people want quick scroll actions to see full menus and i did not see a way to see the full items in the catagory as they keeped closing as you tried to scroll them. there are a lot of adds which make it uncomfurtable to scroll on. the more adds the more likely someone may get melware or a viruse im not saying adds shouldnt be there but pop up adds i do not think should at all. it makes it hard to go though with how many adds i saw with the 7 minutes i was trying to go though the site. this is my opinion someone else may have another but when im looking for recipies the more adds the less likely i will stay on the site expesaly when they block my screen for what im looking for. i like how you have a large veritey of cultures able to be found easy when it does load the recipes. i just dont like being hit by a bunch of adds that stop me from looking for what or stop me from finding the exact recipe im looking for.

Thank you for the feedback! Thats great to know about the ad issue, as I do not seem them pop up due tomy IP address, that is something I shall work on now, I wanted ads but to be very low and not at all on the recipe pages 

DARK-TEMPLAR [2315109]

I have gone though, lowered ad amount to lowest amount, also increased the min spacing between them to the max allowed and also removed several of the intrusive ad types. Please let me know your thoughts.

 

I also have a few ideas to fix the menu to ensure it is more scroll and mobile friendly. :D

Demitori [2152427]

As to the ad, it shows up on the bottom of the page and retracts easily. 

 

The drop down menu system is too spaced out, and would benefit from a click to open each side menu instead of scrolling over.  Sometimes I have to scroll down the page and restart just to get to the option I am looking for.  I did want to get to German foods as a first run test.  In order to get there I had to select eastern European, then scroll way down just to find German.  Having 3 options for recipes is a good start, but options to have a second or third 3 set of recipes for each may increase comeback traffic.

On Mobile testing, you cannot go past Asian in the recipe cuisine section, as the menu cannot scroll.  Click to open menus, may really be the solution for this.

On mobile you cannot go past Breakfast for Courses, and for cooking method you cannot scroll past air fryer.

 

I hope this feedback can help

Yes the feedback is a great help, I am ensuring to make proactive work on the feedback -

 

Below is a new block on our homepage, I have redone all the homepage blocks to ensure its much more easy and friendly. (As more recipes are added, It is easy expandable. 

 

I am also working on the main issue you face via the long menu, I have a few routes I plan to try to see what works best for the users :D
