Pero es el quinto de mayo, ninguÌn el sexto.

That was probably not said correctly. I didn't trust my rusty Spanish so I went to Bablefish it, but I put in a small typo.

Anyway, the date is wrong on this announcement.

Thanks for that, BG

So, there will be another announcement to follow that will direct all of us to Pliny that didn't go searching for it against all recommendations unlike some folks?

I'm realy looking forward to trying it out. (Does it have something like the "my convos" thingy in Brunel?)

The deployment plan is that all of a sudden, like a bolt of lightening, Pliny will just be there. Strong, young, powerful, and able to do the heavy lifting that is just too much for poor Ripley at this time in its life.

Everything is still on schedule...

Oh, I can sign in 'normally' again.

Thank you, Pastey and team.

one hopes that the pliny newbee has been welcomed and ace'd

In Pliny, there is a page for "my conversations". It is not a popup window, if that was what you were hoping. It might come in a later release.

I kinda like the new convo display... The badger pictures should be larger though

Well done folks.

Boyo, won't I be glad to be rid of the delays at this time of night (my browsing time)
. .
"this weekend" - better be quick then, it's 21:21...23...5 now

Anyway, how will I know?

To be honest, quite a few of you won't even notice when Pliny goes live. If you've got bookmarks set to your favourite skins, then you'll continue to see your favourite skins.

We will let you know though

How come I can choose Pliny from Preferences in Brunel and update yet the skin stays Brunel? I really can't wait to see Pliny, mainly because the only thing that drove me away from Barlesque was the lack of functionality.

**How come I can choose Pliny from Preferences in Brunel and update yet the skin stays Brunel?**

Thats because Its not Live yet.

Ok so where do I find this Pliny thingy as I'm getting bored very quick and the tea pot is calling

[Waits to see what will happen.]
