upcoming adCenter release

[adCenter411]

Hey everyone,
I wanted to let you know in advance that adCenter is in final testing of a new release.

Note that during the release, you will not be able to sign into adCenter, but your ads will continue to be served.

I will let you know when the tool will be offline.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have an update for you.

The new adCenter release is currently planned for tomorrow - Saturday, 2/18/06. The update starts at 3 A.M. Pacific Standard Time (PST) and will take approximately 24 hours. During this time, you will not be able to sign in to adCenter, but your ads will continue to be served and be tracked for reporting.

Thanks!

I like what you guys have done to the adcenter... can you give us more specific details of the changes so we don't have to go through trial and error.

There's a pretty good summary here. (http://blogs.msdn.com/adcenter/archive/2006/02/17/534510.aspx)

It sure is. There's still plenty of room for improvement but this update solved a lot of the prior issues :)

forgive me for being sort of out of the loop here, but the 2/18 release date was for a new version of the beta or the full release to the public? I just signed up through MSN but apparently was signing up to be a tester. When is this totally up and running and available?

It's the new version of the beta.
