Hello dear revelers,
The year 2024 is already over and we would like to thank you for your trust and loyalty.
For us, 2024 was characterized by changes in the background of BringABottle so that we can continue to offer you a stable platform.
We are also currently working on a new version of BringABottle and plan to release it by the end of Q1 2025. We are very excited to see what you think of the new layout and the new features. We would also like to thank you for your numerous suggestions.
We wish you a healthy new year.
Your BringABottle Team
Just in time after Halloween, the new version 2.9 has been released, in which we have decided to make BringABottle fit for the future on a new technical basis. With this major technical update we are now able to realize new ideas from you and us. Let us surprise you. In addition, we have refactored our mails to fix an old issue in the mail representation.
As always, we look forward to your feedback and ideas.
Your BaB Team
Maintenance works on Saturday, 4th of November
Due to maintenance work on the servers, the application will be unavailable for about 2 hours next Saturday, November 4, starting at 20:00.
The performance problems have been fixed. The app should now run smoothly again.
Due to the high volume of users and the large number of lists created daily, our site experienced performance problems.
This had the effect that lists were sometimes not saved completely, changes were not applied correctly or the page could not be accessed by some users.
We are pleased that we could now completely fix this problem and the page is available again with all functions. We are ready for the next stage.
Continue to have fun with the lists...
Version 2.8.3
- Minor layout adjustments
- Added feature to contact the list administrator. As a list creator, I can allow visitors to contact me directly to clarify questions or make change requests.
- The number of list entries per post has been increased from 50 to 200.
Version 2.7.5
- Menu split for faster navigation
- Reworked simpler status display of articles (only open articles are displayed)
- Minor bugfixes

Minor bug fixes and improvements
Improved visibility of number of open list entries...
Version 2.6
After a more or less lost year, things are hopefully looking up now. We used this time to extend and improve our infrastructure. Besides that we fixed some small bugs and implemented some of your suggestions:
- No article can be entered if no article is checked.
- Next to the single list entry you can now see how much of the original amount is still open — e.g. bread (1/5) means 1 out of 5 is still needed.
- Modifications and improvements in email dispatch.
Thank you very much for your suggestions. We hope you continue to have fun with BringABottle.
New functions at the turn of the year
About us, privacy and list of visited pages...
Version 2.3
We wish all users a healthy year 2021. You will find the following changes in the new version:
Functional enhancements
- We have added an About Us page where we briefly explain our motivation.
- When creating a new list, the email address must now be entered twice. Too often emails could not be delivered because the address was entered incorrectly.
- The list of the 5 last visited lists is now optionally saved for up to 60 days.
Privacy
- We now host our servers exclusively in Germany with a local provider.
- We do not use Facebook, Twitter or Google Analytics.
- We do not use any third-party cookies. We only optionally store the last visited lists in a cookie that is not shared with anyone.
We wish you a lot of fun with the new features. If you find a bug or have ideas, use the contact form and talk to us.
New emails, PDF printing with QR code, more control over list as administrator...
Version 2.2
Just in time we have added a few more extensions to BringABottle:
- As administrator you now have more control over your list. You can remove participants and adjust entry counts. Do not forget to save the list at the end!
- Using the Print Flyer function, you can now generate a PDF containing a QR code with a link to the participant view.
- The emails sent via BringABottle now have a nicer layout.
- We have inserted a copy-to-clipboard icon after the administrator and participant links.
- We fixed a bug where administrators were not notified when someone signed up.
Version 2.1

- Fixed performance problems during list loading

May makes all things new — and so did we. We have completely rebuilt BringABottle with new features based on your feedback and suggestions. Thank you for that! We also want to introduce further innovations at regular intervals.
