The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I wonder what features we'll get.
It could be any of these.

No live date that I am aware of yet, although me and Eccles have only started seriously proofing them today so take from that what you will!
Aww that's a shame. :)
So when do we get to see these new changes? I'm guessing one of them is the review forum? Tony mentioned that project awhile ago. I'll be interested to see what you've done.
This is for you Eccles and this is for you ButchML.

Never! Then you'd see all the new stuff that may be being worked on! Watching paint dry is probably more exciting that watching a programmer (attempting to do some) programming.
Unfortunately (not sure about that) for you, I can confirm that there will be no webcam in the Support office for viewing by the forums. The Systems guys may allow one in their dungeon but I do not speak for them, you'll have to hope Eccles replies here for that...
I could tell you what is being added and changed but I wouldn't want to spoil the suprise, be a bit like finding your Xmas pressies in your mum's cupboard in September!

5 out of 38 isnt too bad :D I wonder which ones they are. Is the live office webcam one of them?
Umm, scanning through you are right with 4 and very close with 1 :)
