Site Down Tonight

Starting at 8:00 pm PST tonight the My Starbucks Idea site will be down for scheduled maintenence and enhancements.  I think you'll really like some of the changes we are making!

If a great idea hits you while the site is down, jot it down and come back tomorrow to experience the new & improved site.  I look forward to hearing your feedback on the changes.

Do your IT folks remember a few months back when they enhanced MSI and we had several days of login problems?

Not looking forward to tomorrow; there will be problems, it is a Friday, and the person who really knows how to fix things will have left early for a long weekend ;)

Good luck!

C'mon DadCooks - How about some positive mental attitude?  :)  Cross your fingers.

C'mon sbx_bean, I said "Good Luck" meant as a positive wish -- all fingers and toes crossed.  ;o)

Ever hear of Murphy's Law?

Some people think Murphy was an optimist.

Honestly, best wishes for an uneventful "maintenance and enhancement" -- toasting with a cup of pressed Rwanda (found an unopened bag that got pushed to the back of my stash).

Thanks DadCooks!  Enjoy the Rwanda.  I look forward to hearing how you like the new site look and functionality.

Well its back up! I like how you now can see whether or not you voted up or down. Looks like formatting is finally here. I wish there was an easier way to view our submitted ideas  as well as see what the "score" is in our in box.

Good job with the new site!  so far, so good.  I like it.   I don't use or need the site as a popularity contest.....so, I think you've done all that's necessary.  (except I do agree that it was better when there was no 'down' vote..... by having the 'up' and the 'down', there's really no accurate vote tally....imo)

Kudos to the Starbucks IT team.

Smooth login this morning and a pleasant new screen.

Took a quick spin and like what I see at first glance. Looks like you have addressed most of the major sensible requests. You're on the right track.

What is the purpose of the "My Profile"?

Is this going to be private with Starbucks or is it intended to become public?

The "My Profile" page needs to explain how/if this information will/would be visible/available.

Please excuse the multiple posts (one of my pet peeves), but now that I have a "Top Commenter" star (thanks) I guess I had better behave myself and make my comments even better.  ;0)

I'm confused by the "My Profile" too.  It seems like when you hang your mouse on a person's name in a stream of comments, one should be able to see the profile of that person, or click on that person to get to a profile.  This isn't working for me.  

But otherwise I like the changes! One thing I really like is being able to see which way I voted on a thread now! Sometimes I forget, if I voted something up or down!

O-M-G!!! I can FINALLY get to my inbox! Thank you.

The mini profiles are cute. Hope you enjoy my list of coffees. LOL

Still can't get to my favorites.

BTW, I love the bold and italics. :-D Can it be imported to the IIA Blog?

For the profile - the geography and beverage info will show when a user hovers over your user name.  Fill out your profiles!  I can't wait to read them.  

@ Melody - We're working on some little bugs and it seems there may be one with the "favorites" link.  Thanks for letting me know.

There seems to be another little bug in that when you want to post a c0mment it doesn't post it just once but more than once. Also, I think it would be nice to see what ideas various people have been involved in implementing. I finally was able to sign it but it took a bit.

Thanks purple1!  We'll look into the bug.
