Hi, All

I am posting this in the hope that you would consider using the fans of your site to work with you in improving the functionality a stability of your site. This update should have made it clear when large updates like this are done the larger the base for testing the more bugs are found before rolling it out. I have the following idea's in the future. Use you fan's to beta test they will be able to test on more platforms and configuration than you could ever hope to. There are a lot of skilled people that use your site not especially me but in general u have a large skill base at you disposal, more than just the people that work there. I think that a beta test site would a good way to test in future and stop you from losing users like you have. Also this is unlikely but maybe open-source your code i realize the problems in this but just a idea. Thanx for your time

Open sourcing the code would definitely be a no go. They would have no way of preventing someone from taking all their code building a new competing site and stealing their users away.
