Surely better that they fix everything before going "live" rather than having to close it again after a few hours or be inundated by complaints?
Surely the only way to discover if everything has been 'fixed' is to open it up to the rest of us?

Not until it has been fully tested by their team and any major faults been resolved. They are really in a no win situation - they have people complaining that the site isn't up and running when they said, but if they put it up complete with faults, they would have people complaining that they should have sorted things out first.

I'm just waiting for all the moans about how it was better the old way!
But that's my point.
They can test it as much as they want but ultimately it will be open to all of us and we are the ones who will decide if it is 'fault free' or otherwise.
Lawrie name in Fife (and elsewhere) with all its various spellings.

Gadget, thanks for the update  :) We always know that SP is special, never more so than now! Can't wait for it to be back really.

However, rather they took their time now to sort out last minute glitches than problems on launch. All I know is that as much as we are stuck waiting, they are losing lots of £s per day too for every further day of delays.... what I call motivation to get it back on as soon as feasible ::)

They responded to someone of Facebook that Kirk records will be released in next couple of months. I was so hoping they would be released with the new website.  Somewhat disappointed, but more time to save the pennies to view them. Hope there is a free index search initially when the Kirk sessions do get added.
