Anyone Else Want To Be A Tester For The New Answerbank?

[AB Editor]

You get to peek behind the curtain, a little before we invite a random wave of Abers in.

This is like VIP access to the development site before it goes live.

It's a really good chance to drop some feedback and practice with the site before we go live with it.

If you'd like to join the VIP group, drop your name below.

All the best,

Ed.

Count in me if it's not too late.

[Zacs-Master]

People aren't being chosen, they can just join. The problem with speaking ones mind is that it can illustrate how small it is.

[Zacs-Master]

My my, that's one huge chip you've got sat on your shoulder.

[rockyracoon]

Why would he offer it out to everyone if that was the case?

[ummmm]

Jordy...some parts are broke.

[jno]

Jordyboy, you sound like Michael Gove - running for office while detailing all the reasons nobody should vote for him!

[MargoTester]

As I'm an official Tester I'll have a go.

[Mamyalynne]

The reply to 'if it's not broke' has been addressed many times - it needs to keep up with new technology and the way it's used.

Sorry you're so unhappy here J.

whatsoever the new site looks like, I bet there will be no change for users like me who have no alternative but to use an unreconstructed version of I-Explorer, ie the advert "long running script" issue will still be there. :-(

Hopkirk, On the previous thread (akin to this one) you wanted Sandwiches, now Doughnuts... are you expecting a buffet table ;-)

[Hopkirk]

No Arky, that would involve standing up.
I want full butler service.

[Arksided]

One would have thought you'd prefer the waitress. but hey ho easy come easy go. ;-)

[AB Editor]

If it makes you feel better Jordy, I'll save you two spaces...

Thanks everyone. I'll add from this list to the previous list. We'll send out an email asking when the best time of the day to open the site to you all, is.

You'll get an email with:
1. instructions of how to get into the beta site
2. instructions on how to provide feedback in the best way

We plan to get you on the site initially, take some very early feedback, and if all is (mostly) well - we'll invite a random segment of ABers to join in. So, you'll only be VIPs for a short while! Sorry!

All the best,

Ab Editor

G'afternoon Ed......How do you propose selecting a ' a random segment of ABers '. Will it be from all ABers or those who are deemed to be 'Techies'.

Hans.

[AB Editor]

The random selection is based on active users in the last few weeks. So it should include most "regulars".

[jordyboy14]

(joke)

[Mamyalynne]

Is your other username as regular J ;-)
