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

Go subscribe to this thread. If you're lucky, they update that thread when the Beta starts - you can subscribe and get immediate email notification.

Whether or not they update that thread, I don't know...Some release announcements have been replies in that thread, some have been new threads. Currently there is no way in XF to subscribe to an entire forum.

May want to subscribe to this thread as well

So, we're at least 3 hours out, correct?

Well, maybe.

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

That's why it's a 24 hour sale. You'll surely have time to skip a bio break and order it, right?

[Slavik]

Well its now past uk business hours!

 

[mrGTB]

The generally accepted office hours in the uk are 9 - 5, Ive never seen anyone define them as 8 - 4 before. (I work neither, I do 10 - 6 )

Correct, 9am - 5pm is generally seen a normal UK working hours.

I'm guessing they're putting off the sale for now, pending legal advice.
Either way, it sucks, hehe, but it is understandable.

No, it just got delayed. Keep an eye out for the next few hours.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Please dont post stuff like this as some fool will read it and declare somewhere that the sale is off.

It is still going ahead, just a few hours layer than planned. Please learn to read announcements fully...its not hard

Hey now, I didn't post it as FACT, I was just assuming the delay was due to IB's idiocracy.

 

[RickM]

I know - sorry didnt mean it like that. Its just people post something like that, then half the internet assumes its correct - for example on the vB forums, people were convinced the sale was off after someone posted saying pretty much the same as your post.

 

[jonsidneyb]

Getting back to work for a bit. Will check back to buy soon.

Its a really great site (despite its god awful design) - I used to use it to work out US timezones a lot.

I wake up this morning only to see that I still have to wait for XENFORO!

BUY! BUY! BUY! I must! I must!
