In India, I am guessing it's gonna be around midnight Oct 7 or a couple of hours earlier. By the latest I mean the end of the 24-hour sale.

No. India is 5:30 hrs ahead of GMT. So 12:30 PM here means it's about 7 AM in the UK. I think another 2-3 hours later.

Patience everyone

It's currently a little after 8am here in the UK.
Originally the launch was going to be after 10am UK time but due to yesterday's events there may be a slight delay.

It's coming...are you ready?

 

[Chromaniac]

heh. but we are just 5.5 hours ahead of GMT. anyways. i am up for a long time now. so should not be a problem overall.

You are right. It's 2-3 hours later or few hours after midnight.

I think you're trying to make me miss the sale.

 

[MilesDB]

I think you're trying to make me miss the sale.

Oh.. Yeah.. I forgot about your conspiracy theory.

 

[Carlos]

Nah. I'm just kidding, man.

 

[MilesDB]

I know, Carlos. Just goofing here.

 

[HydraulicJack]

Patience everyone

Thanks very much for the updates, Brogan.
When the doors open, will you post the link to the store in this thread?

 

[Carlos]

I know, Carlos. Just goofing here.

hehe. everyone's just excited about XENFORO!

I just like saying xenforo, because it just... sounds great out loud. I have this loop where I say "Have you seen xenforo?" but with a commercial sense of the word.

I don't think I'll have to

How about thread where XF'ers can post video endorsements (and training videos too!)?

 

[MilesDB]

Indeed, XenForo sounds like nothing around there. It has a classy and, in a way, unique name.

 

[HydraulicJack]

I don't think I'll have to

Ok, no worries. I'm too sleepy to read between any lines since they're all blurred.
I may just go take a nap or do some dishes for a while.
BTW is the one-day sale a 24 hour "day" or a XenForo "hours" day?
If the former, I assume that'll be 24 hours from the time the doors open, yes?
If the latter what's the total number of hours the $100 price will be available from start time?
Thanks!

Ok...frustrated now. Not at XenForo, just frustrated in general.

Where will the checkout be when it is ready for sale?

 

[MilesDB]

Where will the checkout be when it is ready for sale?

I wanna know it too.
