Import your RateBeer ratings
General Beer Discussion by FLASHPRO
For those of you who were members of RateBeer, you can now upload your compiled ratings to BeerPal and we'll import them for you.
Submit your .csv file at the link above. RateBeer will let you compile your .csv file using 3 different types of delimiters (pipes, commas or tabs) and either one of those is fine. Just make sure you don't modify your file.
There is a limit to the file size that can be uploaded, and it's possible that some people may have so many ratings that it exceeds that amount. So if you get an error, let me know here or send me a private message.

@Chopz I did post in one of the Forum threads about rating uploads here at BeerPal. Also, the Forums were updated a few years ago. Initially you have to log in. I think you use your username but have to set a "new" password. I'm pretty sure you can set the new password to the same one you've been using. The new Forums and where you have your ratings are separate and clumsy. Poor overall design.

Can I upload numerous files to the storage location? I received a warning you have already uploaded a file message. I've got 13 more files to upload as I was 13500+ beers on RateBeer. Please advise...Cheers for doing this, Shawn
@shigmerotten That is very interesting. Does RateBeer compile the ratings into multiple files of 1000 beers each? That would explain why I was so confused that people had exactly 1000 ratings! But the answer to your question is YES. I can see each file if you upload more than one. I'll have to change the verbiage on the page to explain that. Thanks!

@Flashpro Yes, the download files are in batches of 1000 ratings. I will upload the rest. No worries on how long it takes, I'm deployed in Saudi Arabia. Not doing much rating until I get back.
The https://beerpal.com/import page was updated. You'll see all of your uploaded files with status. You can click on each file to see the list of beers and how each one matches up. The site is continuously updating beers in the database so you'll see the matches increase as time goes on.
