One of our favourite features on EdinburghMenus.com is the ability to add a sketch to your review. It’s a bit of fun that makes reading reviews on the site more entertaining. We thought it would be fun to allow you to see exactly how people drew the sketches that people draw to accompany their reviews. This information has always been stored in our database but in the past has only been used to create the final image that you see on the site.

But not any more! Now, when you see a sketch beside a review, you can click on it and the canvas will clear and the sketch will redraw itself, exactly as its creator did originally - errors and all. Pretty pointless, but fun!

For the techies among you, this feature is brought to you by Adobe Flash and the jQuery JavaScript library. If you don’t have Flash and JavaScript enabled, you’ll still see the final static version of the sketch.

And so the sketch feature further extends its lead as the least used feature with the most development time spent on it…
