I have my checklist and plan to start the transition about 10 o’clock AM Pacific Daylight time this Saturday morning, 15th of March. That will be 1 PM on the east coast of the US, about 5-7 PM in the UK or France, 4-6 AM Sunday (AU or NZ). Not sure about variations due to DST fall back (or spring forward). The US already did that…
I did get “some” e-mail to work on the new site. There is a strict limit per day, so I will try enabling new game and game over notifications and not the every-play notifications. If you are a daily player and don’t need e-mail, please turn it off via your settings.
I expect to open up the new site by 2 PM Pacific Daylight Time, and will install the ‘forwarder’ on the old site to take you there. It will be easy!
There might be an issue or two that arises the first few days as different, difficult to test features get run for the first time in their new form. Press the “Help” button and click the link, “Whom to contact when” and you’ll see a help e-mail address there to use to send any feedback. If it’s the tourney side (‘Glad’), let us know who you are and what tourney you are in and what you tried to do, and what happened. Similar feedback for an issue on ‘Chez’ to help me understand anything weird that happened on the Chez side.
Overall, I expect things to go pretty smoothly, and will iron out any issues soon enough.
Lastly, for the computer challenged... don’t worry, you’ll see. I’ll get each and every one of you to the new site!
Thanks Ben, I’ll do the elving today unless Pauline gets in first.
Thank you for all you have done to make this site MOST enjoyable. D and I are very gla do have known you. Best of luck m enjoy your family and have FUN
