So we’ve spoken about version 2 yet not really spoken about what it’s going to involve. First of all, some of these changes are based on feedback… most are not - which is dangerous on our part, but we’re confident if we like them, so will you 
- 100% width header and footer
- Page width set at 900 pixels
- New header and footer designed (simpler, smaller in height and filesize)
- Completely revamped comments area, all AJAX and in reverse chronological order i.e. newest comment comes first (loads of you suggested this).
- Ability to choose your ‘top friends’
- Ability to customize the layout and display options of your photos/videos/descriptions, comments etc in your profile (this is something worth waiting for, believe me)
There’ll also be several smaller changes… most of you won’t notice them but things like;
- Multi-uploader for photos (so you don’t have to upload one at a time)
- AJAX ‘please wait’ page
- Emails whenever you get a comment on your profile (optional)
- More control over what emails are sent to you and what for
- Search Engine Optimised page and url sructure
- Ability to add photos to events
They’re just some of the many changes we’ll be making. We’ve decided to roll all these changes out at once, rather than continue to add bits and pieces to the site on a daily basis… it’s too messy that way. No set date for the new version 2, we’re busy working on it which is a good thing, but i’d imagine it’ll be 2/3 weeks before you guys see it.
The good news though is that once we do launch that version, a public launch will be the next step
ok, hands up, who did it?

Upon my travels today i noticed some more backlinks in google for ‘BeerChief’.
From none other than mashable! Yes, the social networking superpower that is mashable 
We’ve been placed on their invites page which is basically a big list of social networking sites that are in BETA mode. Cheers to whoever added us 
In other news, we’ve added more ‘beers’ to our ‘beers’ section. We’re also starting work on a ‘version 2′ which we’ve only spoken about previously.
We can’t wait to get it finished… but wait we have to. As GUINNESS would say, good things come to those who wait
