We need all our alpha testers to please kick the tires, so we can have confidence that everything is working well when we open the site to beta testers at noon on Monday, Jan. 28th!

So if you can, come on over and try things out - and let us know if you find any issues Sunday night / Monday morning!

You can count on me!

when green flag clicked
set [The_Scratch v] to [VoltageGames]
stop [The_Scratch v]

Afraid that over here in the UK I'm gonna be asleep then but I can try Sunday morning and possibly afternoon

Okay.

May be able to…

Ok…

No problem!

Everything is loading so much faster! Have you turbocharged the servers or something?

Nope, merely the power of code optimization!

Sayamindu and Shane went over stuff like the messages page to optimize, and were able to speed things up dramatically, thank goodness. Messages is like the 3rd most viewed page on the site - so it *has* to be fast.

Also any chance of (probrably not) an alpha tester badge for those that were?

You don't even have too sign up. The website won't be password protected, so they can just roll on in.

Lightnin, Is there any chance that i could change my name? I Don't really like my name anymore. Sorry to waste space on the forums with a stupid reply.
Please make this possible because
1. I hate my name
2..My name is so long and boring and no-one sees me so I'm really lonely with no-one looking at my projects and people don't know me

If you manage to do this please could you change my name to laptom, that is already an existing account, and it's mine. PLEASE DO THIS!!!

Ah, but it'll only be login-able for folks who had an accont on the old site prior to Jan. 26th.

Is there anyway to get some extra accounts or can I let them use mine to save projects?

You could also have them export the projects onto the computer and them import them back when they want to work on them later.
