Morning Update
Good morning early risers! We're starting the next phase of our launch and wanted to bring you all up to speed. As you probably know, the boards went to read-only last night and all of us have congregated at the Launch Pad message board until our own boards go live again. Starting around 9 or 10 this morning (ET), the boards will go completely down for at least several hours as the engineers take the next steps to get us ready. While that's happening, the Launch Pad board will be active and lively and you'll be able to find your fellow refugees here. LOL. You can also hang out here at our "Community News" blog for updates.
Those of you at the Launch Pad board last night may have seen a message we posted about the launch but its worth mentioning again. When we launch, there are some great new features coming including better navigation, better search, and member home pages. And there are also going to be some problems that you helped us identify during our beta. We've already made a few of those changes and you'll see them when the new boards go live. We expect some of the rest to start appearing over the next 8 or 10 days. So bear with us over the month of August as we make the improvements (your feedback was incredibly helpful, btw).
We're also requesting your help. Those of you who have become regulars on the Launch Pad board are going to be the people most familiar with this new look and feel when we go live. While we'll have our moderators working around the clock over the next few days, we would appreciate you jumping in when you can. Assure your fellow board friends that while the changes can be startling at first (change always is, isn't it?) that you guys have already been using them, and maybe even supply some tips you've learned about the new features. And reassure them that the bumpy parts of the new boards are being worked on now and will get better as we go.
More as the morning progresses!
