Help Us Beta Test The New Community Tools
A few weeks ago, we showed you what the next generation of TPM's community tools would look like. We're excited to say we're almost ready to launch the new service. But before we unveil it to the world, we would like some of our Cafe regulars to help us test the tools and give us their feedback and bug reports so we can release the best product we can on October 8.
We will need you to commit at least two hours over this coming weekend to the test, and report back to us your first impressions, along with any bugs you run into.
If you would like to be a part of this beta, send us an email at tpmbeta@gmail.com and we'll set you up with a test account. Thanks for helping us in this transition!

Hey Al,
Now that you have the new server, when are you going to put back the full Reader Blogs pages?
People post and it scrolls away within hours into nowhereland, because there is nothing but this link and this notice
at the bottom of the Reader Blog page.
It's causing a lot of very unnecessary commotion about getting Recommends, even silliness at times, people making threads to try to keep stuff accessible:

If people's posts were accessible past the last 20 or whatever it is, it would all be moot.
Mho, it's important, your audience deserves accesibility to more than a few hours of posts. So does good journalism that's not into only promoting simple churn of "breaking."

Artappraiser- We disabled archives over the move so as not to overload the new server. I hope to bring back reader blog archives tomorrow.
