We've spent the last couple of weeks completely re-building the login and submission process. If our final testing goes well over the next two days, we plan on releasing the new functionality Wednesday evening.
Right now, the tentative time window to upgrade the site is between 5:00 - 8:00 pm PDT on Wednesday, August 6th. During this time, you won't be able to submit images or add favorites to your list. The site will also be taken offline for a brief period of time.
Here's a short list of new features...
We'll update this post tomorrow and via twitter to let you know if we're on schedule to "release the hounds."
Update 08.06.2008: Unless we uncover a major bug, we plan on releasing the new site features later this evening. Submissions will be suspended at 2:00 pm PDT. The new submission functionality should be back online around 8:00 pm PDT.
I love the idea of getting feedback on declined photos! Thank you for all the effort you are putting into this.
Yes, I love that idea as well, feedback on why is a good thing!!!! Love the gawker!
I'm not sure if you're done with updates yet - but I can't see any of the photos anymore - we just have ? marks now. I have a mac and use Safari 3.1.2 I'm sure I'm one of many mac users who love your site. I hope this is only temporary!
@whisper Thanks for letting us know! We forgot to remove the IP restrictions on images... silly mistake. Are you able to see images now?
It just keeps getting better and better. Nice work!
