Today's Update on the R11B Patch

OK, so here's where we are with the Journals R11B patch fixes (which gets us the classic embedded slideshow album styles, a bunch of bug fixes, and some features to catch up International Journals to the US features):

* The team had to "spin" a new build ("spin" is a real and commonly-used term) today to fix a problem they found, so we won't be installing live to production tonight (Wednesday night)

* The QA folks have the updated build right now -- once it clears QA, it should be installed to Beta within the next 3-4 hours (call it 10PM EDT on the outside). When that happens, it would be available on the Beta Journals site to play with.

* The updated scheduled push to production is now Thursday night (5/31), 12 midnight EDT/9PM PDT.

As I've mentioned before, changes to software -- even fixes -- can potentially affect or even break other parts of the software, so it all has to be put together and tested.

I will keep bugging the team for updates and posting them for you.

Thanks -- Joe

Djbrown1944 -- hi; as I wrote in the entry, the install is still on for midnight Thursday (12 midnight EDT, or 24:00 EDT, 5/31), so it hasn't happened yet.

Check out my latest entry for the full scoop:

I don't believe so -- where are you seeing the missing images? Hometown might have been a little hinky earlier, but it seems to be okay now. -- Joe

Is that why I am seeing no pictures but little boxes with a red "x" in their place?
