Big Site News:
After a busy series of tests our Chocolate Review Forum has now been migrated to a new software platform. This should be quicker than the old one, have fewer bugs and enable a number of new features. This has also led to a change in our registration and login systems (note to un/subscribe to this email and chocolate updates this is now part of the forum profile settings). There will also be a number of other changes over the next couple of weeks to add/tweak a number of other features too.
The biggest addition to this forum - we now have a games arcade! So you can hang out playing games and still stay in touch with all our chocolate discussion (just click the Arcade link in the forum).
On with the chocolate news:
