Site News & Announcements

Test out the new Writing.Com...

Greetings!

The newest update to Writing.Com has hit the open testing stage.
Our beta site can be accessed at:
          http://beta.writing.com/


A few important comments:

"Beta" means not everything is complete and there are likely still bugs. That means if you try it out for us, please be patient if something doesn't work as expected and let us know as clearly as possible what went wrong in our forum: "Beta Tests: Comments" ... On the other hand, there are lots of upgrades, updates and fixes for old bugs, so going beta has it's advantages!

This is an ever growing update. We realize there are a lot of nooks and crannies within the site that have not yet been updated. We plan to follow through the updates to all these portions of the site, but they may not all be done by final release. Our initial goal is to update most of the places within Writing.Com that most people use, well, most.

We are aware of a number of lingering issues on iPhones, iPads and potentially other mobile devices. We have done very limited debugging on the mobile end at this point. Some of these are known and some have not been looked for yet.

If you share Writing.Com links with anyone, do not post, link or share a "beta" URL. It is OK to tell someone about the beta site and provide the URL (or point them to this News post)... we just don't want lots of "beta.writing.com/ThisOrThat" URLs floating around the net...

After following some links within the beta site, you may lose the "beta" from your Writing.Com URL in the browser's location bar. If you do, you can just edit the URL and put it back. You can also compare old and new page looks by switching any "www.writing.com" URL to a "beta.writing.com" or vice versa. For example, check out our General Discussion forum's on both versions with these URLs:

We welcome your comments, suggestions, bug reports, questions, etc. Please post in:
