Not to take away from the hard work, but the site looks crap =/

The only thing that looks good about the prefs is that we can search for options and might by the looks of it be able to sync our settings with the Plus! servers?

Still no room for me though

aflove65, hope you realize that there isn't just a "few" people "trying" it out. There is a lot of testers. The beta testers consist of 133 forum members. That doesn't include those who are not apart of this forum. We have been testing the program for years so why change a good thing? Plus! has only ever once had a public beta.

Now, MyPlus! seems to be a good idea, but will logs continue to be encrypted even when stored online? And will our Forum accounts be "MyPlus Accounts" too or we'll have to start a new one?

Actually the log transmission use SSL to protect the real time logging or manual transfer of the logs. The logs are not actually encrypted on the server, but the server itself is secure. This is an optional feature, you can still use the old local logging (that we also improved).

We might considering encrypting each log entry on the server, but this would mean we would have to disable some of the new online search feature.

We plan to migrate all accounts to the new site. What is important here is that the forum and the web site are now a single entity. The goal was to bring new online features to Plus!

We tried to keep the current web site and forum, but making it work together turn our to be a nightmare. We had to recreate everything from scratch.

kewl 133 of you get to try it while the rest of us have to wait another month to try it (if we are lucky). Not what I would call fair An open beta would mean more people trying it out and maybe finding more bugs that wouldn't be found. But I would have liked for them to at least have made 4.9 to be able to work with all of the features of the new msn instead of only working with part of it. Then they could have just rehauled it and not too many would have been upset.

As of right now its just not feasable for the general public to have access. The new site is not completely ready and there is information there that even as testers we should not see. There is privacy and security that need to be fixed as well. As nice as it is to see a preview, the software simply isn't ready for an open beta.

Through the download site once it gets released.

The title is a bit misleading...

Again, the keyword is "targeted", so probably in the end of January 2011.
