More beta testers needed

Beta testing is going swimmingly at the new member site. All we need is another small round of testers to vet the new registration procedures Bill St. Clair is finalizing right about now. (Much smoother than the original sign-up.)

Will five or six more people raise their hands to volunteer? Anybody who donated $20 or more to the late fundraiser is eligible for a membership (minimum three months) and therefore eligible to beta test.

And once you’re in as a beta tester, you’re in and you can jump into the pool with your clothes on welcome to join the party.

    And LarryA, beta-testing maven, knows what he’s talking about. 🙂

    LOL, lineman, I am bowled over by your wild enthusiasm.

    So. You’re on the list. And you’ll get an invitation to beta test. But don’t worry. I won’t reach out and drag you kicking and screaming.

    Thanks, Sam. You’re on. It looks as if Bill has successfully implemented the new registration system. So I’ll be sending invitations and instructions to the new round of beta testers as soon as I can put them together. No later than tomorrow morning; possibly as early as tonight.

    I can do it, if you need a total computer klutz.

    Klutzes most welcome, LBS! And so are more persons of the female persuasion.

    One thing we’re hoping is that the new registration system is “klutz-proof” — or at least moreso than the original one. Help will be available to anybody who has problems, though.

    Okay, I’ve now got three eager volunteers (including one who emailed me) and one reluctant one. I’ve also just re-tested the new registration system myself — which worked just plain slick — and as soon as we have one or two more people, I’ll be emailing the instructions.

    Thank you, Jorge! It’ll be great to have your perspective.

    I think we’ve got all the new testers we need now.

    If you were itching to get in there, no worries. If these registrations go smoothly, we’ll be opening the member site for business next week. When that moment comes, I’ll send out invitations to the remaining qualifying donors. We’ll be taking new signups, too.

    Okay, I had to unpack and recover a bit, following the fright of TSA yesterday, but now I am ready, awaiting orders.

    Instructions — no orders 😉 — emailed, feralfae. But once you’re on the new site, you’ll find a designated “safe space” if you want to vent some wrath at any of the alphabet soupers who’ve recently made your flight or your life any less than it should be.

    Ok, I’ll wait my turn 🙂

    Should’ve jumped sooner but I’ve been busy.

    I am now waiting for my confirmatory email.
