Also, is this a permanent launch on Saturday(Or whenever) or will you just add a link to the beta?

If it's a full launch, I expect the usual nightmare of missing posts and accounts after the Database transfer.

The beta has been and gone, at least for a small handful of users. Wink
During the test phases there didn't appear to there didn't appear to be any noticeable database problems, though I dare say there may be some disruption as the old site/software makes way for the new one.

When do you plan to roll this out tommorow?
Will you
A: Work overtime to get it up in time for the morning
or
B: Add a countdown clock to the main page and work on it slowly throughout the day

Can I just say how nice it all looks.

It still looks the same as it did yesterday.

I guess the new look will either appear at 6am this morning, or during Saturday night prime time (BBC1 ident premiere style).

no, it's a tradition that in the last few days of march we pretend there's a new look coming and then on april the first we discuss the new look even though nothing has actually changed.


let's hope any database corruption happens around about line 12424 of the users table...
