Fingers crossed for you to get an invite very soon

They allow 10 on per day at midnight UTC (similar to GMT) but about once a week let on a few extra (up to a 100 extra I think) so you won't have to wait too much longer.

Thanks!

Does your title immediately change to Beta Tester upon getting the invite/email, or do you have to open the email and confirm it first for the title to change?

On sending of the email it also updates your title to give you access to the beta discussion boards.

I use Smangii's side tables, Todge's awards system, extra smiley codes (california), and lots of little codes to make banners clickable etc (not so concerned about those ones) but the first 3 I am a bit more concerned about losing/breaking.

Side tables should be far easier to add in v5. The awards feature will break, but at lest one coder already said they'll be updating their own awards system for v5. And the little stuff like clickable banners on the page will probably just keep working (depending exactly what you mean, though). not sure about extra smilies as we've not seen the admin panel yet.

... no email... so sad... lol hoping to get an email soon though! and my site is loaded with codes... so I'm really hoping i can figure out which arent working... if not, ill write em all down, delete all the codes, and re-enter em... the main codes im worried about are mainly just codes to make it look a little better, though. still hoping most will work fine... (on a side note, is there any way to put labels over codes without the labels showing up in the headers and footers?)

-shoots email account-

[Lil Robot]

Lol! I don't think that would help. I have a feeling I will get an email soon, or tomorrow.

Told you all my luck was horrible. xD

But no point in moping about it, we'll all get in eventually.

Makes you think that the lottery winners are all paid actors right?

Another question to Staff or any of the testers (since I've not been fortunate enough to get into testing yet).



What tools/functions are under the gear button/drop down beside the "Like" button?

Thanks! Now another question: What does "Select Post" do? Does it have anything to do with multi-quoting or something else entirely?

I love that those options are now in a drop-down rather than at the bottom of the post.
