DU Needs Your Help -- Visit our new DU3 software preview and start posting!

[Skinner]

Many of you are aware that the DU administrators have been working on a complete overhaul of the DU software, which we call "DU3". We have been working hard for more than a year, and we are excited to open it up again for the fourth and final preview.

Please note that only DU members who registered before January 19, 2011 are eligible to log-in to participate in this preview. Everyone else can browse the site, but cannot log in. Please note that because we imported the DU user data in January, if you have changed your password here on DU since then, you will have to use the password you had back in January in order to log in to DU3. (If you don't know your password, you can use the DU3 lost password function to have a temporary password assigned.)

There are lots of new surprises waiting to be discovered! ;) Don't be shy about trying out all the features and functions -- this is just a preview, and the DU3 database will be wiped clean for the official launch.

The new software is available at a temporary address here on the DU server:

Please kick this thread so more DUers can see it. Thanks.

1. Kick it? Can't you just pin it?

[RebelOne]

2. Can't log in. My password was not recognized,

and then entered my e-mail address to request a new password and that was not recognized either.

3. Done.

4. Yeah, Skinner...I tried to, and it actually sucks

it was asking me security questions to which I didn't know the answers to ( hey, I joined in May of 2005, and I don't have a post-it of all that info attached to my screen ). Maybe I should? It wouldn't accept my regular login info

6. That happened to me too. I don't know the security question. I'm started in 2005 too.

7. It's asking you to update your account info.

In other words, you are being asked to create a security question, not answer one.

5. Posted over there - Love the new software!

Thanks Skinner.

8. OK thanks Skinner. I wish I had seen this thread earlier

because I couldn't log in and got all paranoid about it. :blush: - :rofl:

So apparently it's just because I'm a newbie.
