I guess I'm just going to have to sit on my hands until there's some announcement from them. Then again Thomas Black will probably tell me he's already got access to the secret new site. [^o)] [:)]
Maybe Logos will announce the winners (or at least begin to) of the Mac giveaway contest with this new website rollout. Or if the website is still a couple weeks off I guess we could announce the winners as soon as possible!! [:P]
The new website is amazing... we have been working on it for many, many, many months. It is so good that it hurts to look at the old site anymore.
[:P]
Can you say faceted browsing? Customized content? Geographically aware? Operating system relevant? Personalized messaging/offers? More search and browse options than you can imagine?

My question is, did you say, "Better Forum software!"? [:p]
Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.
Dan, don't torment us. Do you have an estimate as to when this is going to be rolled out? Will there be a beta first or are you doing all the testing in-house?
Sorry Rosie, you know how we are with ship dates... if we told you, we'd have to... (meet a deadline) [:P]
Boy...Logos never just sits back and relaxes do they?
Never!
... and now we know why they never get our Pre-Pubs out the door.
Cute...[:D] for those that don't know you are joking... the people working on the website and the people working on the books may never have even met each other. They are in different buildings!
My question is, did you say, "Better Forum software!"?
Nice... [:)] Sorry, no new forum software. It is really strange though. We were thinking about totally changing it up, so we ran that survey last week right here on the forums, and we were just as surprised as you to see 100% of the 54,000+ people who took the survey all said that this was the best forum software they had ever seen! [A]
Anybody else get the feeling that the site will go live today at 5:00 pm Pacific time...
Not me! [:P]
Seriously, it is going to be a while. We have literally thousands of pages of content. The new format is a fixed-width site that does not play nice with the existing fluid style sheet. We have almost everyone in the marketing department working on making sure when someone goes "to page 6,125..." it looks pretty.

I think this forum software is excellent. Is it a Logos creation or is it a commerically available solution? I'd love to use it on my website.
Ha! Most of us think it is a piece of junk. It functions OK, but there are mysterious delays between posting and seeing your message show up, the search feature is pitiful, the formatting in the editor gets messed up with garbage HTML often, you can't paste links in from elsewhere because they will be transformed into bogus URLs that have community.logos.com at the beginning of them, etc.
Logos has customized the commercial software for their own purposes. They've been able to add features to it that we've requested, e.g., the paging controls at the bottom of a forum to parallel the ones at the top.
Rather ironically, I had to type my previous post twice, because the first time I got a server error, and pressing the 'back' key lost what I'd typed.

Please let what Bob was talking about be in reference to an Android announcement before October is up. Or maybe an entirely new, multi platform, Mobile LogOS (you know you see what I did there). Which, LogOS, by the way, would be really awesome name spelling if it worked on all Operating Systems. I don't even need a kickback or creative tip of the hat for that. Just keep making great software!

I will say the new site looks way cool.
Faceted Browsing = browsing based upon variable criteria. It's a built in component of Drupal sites which are based upon a continually expanding taxonomy and sub-taxonomies. IOW by filtering against available taxonomic data you'll be able to find precisely what you need.

It's looking good...
Oh boy, I'm so excited! I tried all the things I could think of to access the secret new website under development, but nothing worked:

When I suspect that may happen I highlight and copy what I've written. Then I can just paste it if I have to refresh the page

Nope. Here's what he was hinting at: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/24752.aspx
Rosie,
The west coast probably heard my little hopeful bubble burst from over here in Virginia...:(
