Also, please note that during the move CakeCentral will be in-accessible for about a 5-6 hour window
YIKES! 
When I have a specific date and time the move will happen, I will place a really big announcement at the top of every page on Cakecentral.com letting everyone know the specifics so you can plan to get the house cleaned up during that time  |

The list is HUGE!
But that's only the items that are being released for Phase 1!
We have a ton more up our sleeves! I'll give teasers to those when the time comes!  |

WOW!! that is quite a list. I am so excited and I SOOO appreciate EVERYTHING you and Heath do to make this site better.
I hadn't seen you guys on the boards as much and was wondering where you had dissapeared to... I thought maybe it was wedding plans (hugs)
Can I request one other thing (as if you don't already have a long enough list!). I don't know if it is already in the works but we used to be able to go into one persons photos and once we click on the thumbnail to see the larger picture with comments we could then browse through that persons album, but after the beta galleries went into effect it takes me through the folder the picture is posted in (weddings for example) This is just a feature I miss and hope to see back some day.
Thanks again! |

Nope! Absolutely nothing will be lost!
All your saved data/posts etc will remain in-tact!
Think of it as just a face lift.
The forum layout is a bit different and will take some getting used to, but we are doing are best to make it an easy transtion for everyone |
