Hello all,

The site upgrade is complete and went off without a hitch (other than taking longer than we originally estimated). Like I mentioned in the earlier post, we were able to import our database of users from our old software, so you do not need to recreate your account!

Please note! Your account name and password are now case sensitive, so pay close attention when logging in. We've reset your passwords to be the same as your user name, so make sure you change that immediately! If you aren't sure whether your account name was capitalized, check the email we sent out a few minutes ago. That will include your account name and password with the capitalization you'll need to log into the web site.

If you did not receive the upgrade email, you can request it be sent to you from the website. Click the "Log In" link from the navigation bar, and then enter your email address in the "Lost Password?" box. Your user name and password will be sent to that email account.

If you had special characters in your user name (apostrophes, mostly), these were removed during the import process. We were also required to separate first-and-last names for the import, so if you only had one name entered or if you had an email address for your "name," you may notice your name has changed in the new system. (You can either update this or leave it alone; these fields aren't used for anything but LT3 records).

To reset your password, either click the "My Account" link after you log in or go directly here and update your password from there.

Please note we're currently reviewing and updating our FAQ page and the Payment information web page; those will be up-to-date later this evening. We wanted to get the news out that you can access the site again out as soon as we could!

If you find any broken links or if you have any issues logging in, please do not hesitate to email us at service@lessthanthreepress.com.

Thank you for your patience, and happy reading!

Just a quick update on our upgrade -- everything is going swimmingly, but it's going to take longer than we initially estimated to get all our ducks in a row. The Good news is that we've been able to retain all of your accounts, so you will not have to recreate them!

Fortunately, at this point it's just a matter of updating links and doing a few quick tests, so we should have everything back up in a bit! Thanks again for your patience. <3

Hi all,

In six minutes, we're going to start the upgrade of the web site. If you try to access the web site during this period, you'll likely find a lot of broken links and server errors! Remember, once the upgrade is complete, we'll send you each an email letting you know how to access your accounts again!

Again, thank you for your patience and have a wonderful Sunday!
 
 
16 January 2010 @ 08:20 pm
Hey guys, just a reminder that we will be upgrading our software tomorrow, Sunday Jan. 17, between the hours of 12:00pm and 4:00pm EST (GMT -5). When the upgrade is complete you will receive an email with instructions on how to access your account.

This new software will allow you more easily manage your accounts (if you've had any password problems, you'll know exactly what we mean) and will allow us to support credit card processing down the road. The switch over will occur over a weekend in mid- to late-January; we'll announce specifically when after the Christmas break.

Important note! There's a possibility that we may not be able to convert the accounts stored in our current software to work with the new software; if this is the case you may need to recreate your account with us. We'll give you more details as we learn more!

Slogan Contest

We're also pleased to announce that we're opening a contest this week! LT3 Press is looking for a good slogan to include on some of the merchandise we're creating, but we're drawing a blank. We're looking for anything from a snappy one-liner to a few words that sum up LT3 Press (basically, anything that can fit on a mug without requiring a magnifying glass). The person who submits the winning slogan will get a piece of merch (a bag, t-shirt, mug, etc.) of their choice with that slogan!

If you've got an idea, email it to admin@lessthanthreepress.com. Please include the slogan, your name, and the email address you'd like us to use to contact you (if for some reason it's different from the address you email us from). The winner and winning slogan will be announced on January 6th; please make sure all submissions are in by January 1st. You can submit multiple slogans, so don't be shy!


Café Press Merchandise!

Next week, we'll be opening our new Café Press storefront, where you'll be able to purchase t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, and more with the LT3 Logo on them. Check back here next week for a link to the LT3 Boutique!


That Famous Happy End

As a reminder, submissions are still open for the That Famous Happy End anthology! We hope you're working hard and look forward to seeing what you've got cooking!
