Or they can release it when its ready?

They never gave a specific time for the release, and with how things have gone yesterday, theres plenty of reasons why it might take an additional day (Which they're saying they won't need).

I don't know what having a baby is like...

Quite honestly, me having a baby would either be a miracle, or make me a freak of nature, and I rather neither ;(.

Then imagine it's 1966 and your wife is in there somewhere having a baby you know nothing of what is going on

she's doing all the hard work, and you're in the waiting room whoooping it up with the other Dads drinking whiskey and smoking cigars

Heavens it's only just past 12 midday here in the UK.

Standard office hours gives another 6 hours.
Late office hours another 10 hours.

Me having kids in general is just a scary thought.

My kid will definitely be the anti-christ, and bring the end of the world. We both know it, so its better not to spare my feelings .

Oh I dunno I think you're pretty cool

 

[Forsaken]

It was told that their office hours are up to the 4pm.

They never said they'd release within office hours, nor a estimate other then the day when they'd release.

 

[Forsaken]

That totally does not change the fact that any kid I have would be pure unadulterated evil... Mostly raised that way for my own amusement .

I dunno maybe you missed the whole unforseen circumstances thing yesterday?

No raising devil spawn.. that's just wrong.. MmmKkkk

And basically holding them to an exact time line does what? If they miss it, they'll miss it, nothing much that can be done due to the circumstances.

 

[Booth]

wow.. 3 hours in DST didn't realise it was that long!

Here's one from the future for you....

Thanks future person

If you see Biff, kick his walking stick will ya.

The whole joy of having a child is raising them to be entirely screwed up, I would just make it so everyone else deals with the trouble as well .

 

[cedivad]

In fact it's just and estimate. Just hope they will relase it soon, they are not like me that I wait the day before the deadline to do my homework

 

[Shanj]

No one is trying to hold KMA down. They did make an undertaking to releae the beta "in UK Business hours" today.
But if they don't make it there'll b e a good reason about making it best possible for us. That's the track they have.

All we're doing on this threade is happily sharing the excitement of the wait- and HOPING they can keep the deadline.

 

[Paul B]

I'm sure some of you are aware by now but just in case you aren't.

We are working as fast and hard as possible, however the unforseen circumstances encountered yesterday mean that the earliest juncture at which we will be able to release XenForo will fall after UK business hours.

Please keep an eye on this forum for further updates as we have them.

Thanks for your continued patience and support.

Could the 24 hours be extended to a "Few Days" ?

Or could we be emailed when the 24hour sale starts ?

I have a day job and I can't purchase the software on such a tight timeline, especially when the planned time clearly changed.
