Maintenance tonight 3/6

onethumb · March 7, 2008

We're currently heavily testing some new stuff and it's looking good.

If it passes test tonight, we'll be putting the site into read-only mode for a short while during our normal weekly maintenance window while we roll the release out.

Thanks in advance for your patience - and I promise you all will *love* this one.

So was this last night? How did it go?

DrDavid · March 7, 2008

I'm guessing it didn't work? I'm not seeing any changes this morning (that I can notice at least)... But, please.. Don't keep us in suspense!

Hmmm... Noticed one change.. The Keepsake Box is now available to purchase.

Anything else?

No, that was actually put on the site a week or so ago but then there's a minor technical glitch in adding it to the catalog, so we're taking it down. More to come on it though!

So, no hints about the new features? Did it work and it's just not 'turned on' yet? Or, do we have to wait another week?

We called it quits not long after 2:00am last night. Sorry for not updating this thread.

We are very close, but are trying to fix a couple remaining bugs and make sure it is perfect.

So.... Does that mean another week? or, is it in the active code base and just not enabled yet? i.e. Could we see the new features before next week?

We would love to get it out before next Thursday night. But we don't know yet when it will be completely done and ready.

If you guys ever need a beta tester, just let me know..

I love playing with (and breaking) new toys

Sure hope this fixes two major breakages, the popular gallery and the "map
this" not working.:D

Here's my guess as to what's going to be added:

1) Flash based slideshow
2) Fixes for the above issues
3) Coupon system of some sort for Pros
4) Ajax based photo organization (similar to Flickr) where you can drag and drop between galleries (ok, so, this isn't likely, but, I can wish

)

Please?

No, we don't pre-announce anything, sorry

Don't you have a Little League to fight :beatwax

Just one annoying parent (who we've now dealt with).

Oh, and they don't play on Sunday.

You know, it wouldn't kill you to offer to send a pastrami sandwich from the city to me for keeping me in suspense for so long! Think of it as a peace offering..

So, is tonight the night?

We are trying for a Sunday night release now. The site will be in Read Only mode for about 30 minutes.

You mean late, late Saturday (i.e. Sunday morning), or Sunday evening?

I need new toys to play with!

Hey, I got it!

I correctly predicted the upgrades (well, sort of.. #1 and #2 are correct).

Do I win a prize? If so, I'll take #3

Coupon/discount system of some sort for Pros would be great for the next release....
