New Site Downtime: Monday 12O'clock

[AB Editor]

Good afternoon,

We're going to start launch process for the new site at 12o'clock on Monday. This means the site will be inaccessible.

You can come chat to us on facebook, or twitter - both of which will be manned/womanned by site editors.

Because we have to take a back-up of the ENTIRE database and apply a new lick of paint, this will take several hours. I'd plan something else for Monday afternoon (or join us on our facebook page, where we can give realtime updates regarding our hairlines).

Thanks to all the beta testers for your feedback, and everyone for their patience. It's been a long while coming, but I think the new AB will please.

Do we all 'lof off' and then 'log in' to the new site tomorrow?

[Butterbun]

Your cookies should keep you logged in. It's the same site, just a different layout.

well good luck with the back up

Tax authorities have repeatedly ended up with the data on the floor !
( transfer of data from Manch to Bootle in 1995 failed and then was found to be .... lost. Yippee for those who had got their tax forms in ! )

THECORBYLOON - The new website is designed to work on mobile and on desktop, so there won't be a separate site for mobile anymore - the same website will look good on desktop, mobile and tablet.

1581960 - Yes, the usual link will still take you to the website - the web address won't change.

Morning,

We'll be closing off the beta site before starting the go-live process, so if you can't access it towards lunchtime, that's why.

We should be live in the evening. I'm excited to see how everyone gets on.
