    Users: DO NOT change location of My Big Oven Recipes folder during install/update

    After installing update, I encountered problems with importing from BO.com and other websites, deleting recipes, "losing" new recipes & recipe boxes, and other issues posted on this board.

    During install I had changed the location of My Big Oven Recipes folder from the default (shared folder) to My Documents.  Even though we are given the option to change the location during install, Big Oven did not like it; thus the problems mentioned above.

    I uninstalled & re-installed, allowing the MBOR folder to be put in the default directory, and now everything works just fine.

    If you are experiencing any problems with importing, deleting, pictures, "losing" recipes, etc., and you did change the location of the folder, I urge you to uninstall, re-install, and allow it to go to default location.  Hopefully it will work for you as it did for me!

    Thanks fireblue -- We do strongly recommend that users let BigOven install the "My BigOven Recipes" folder to the default location (in Shared Documents).  But for advanced users, it can indeed be changed to another directory -- you just need to make sure that you (and any other user planning to use BigOven) has full read/write/execute permissions on that folder. 

    More information can be found at "Where BigOven Looks for Files" and "BigOven Registry Settings".
