OK the joke's on me, what's with the beta testing groups?
Posted in THE COFFEE HOUSE cause that's where it belongs.
How come I sometimes see Sonar beta testing options in the forums list, but sometimes I don't? Shouldn't somebody be posting some sort of activity summary? I can't access these forums to see what's up, so I'm hoping one of the hall monitors will comment.
How do we commoners know if our favourite features are being negotiated away in lieu of a salsa expansion pack for SD3.

The forum software has a bug. Every now and then, for no apparent reason, forums that should be hidden become visible. You can't access those forums, even though you can see they exist.
There are many forums here, not just the public ones you normally see. The Bakers have their own sections as well for their own uses. They are also hidden from us as you'd expect.
The forum software devs (3rd party) have been told about this many times and have not fixed it.
You wouldn't expect the Bakers to release new software without beta testing it first would you?

Now I am impressed.

Why would they let beta testers have their own forum, when they are quite capable of communicating with one another in the padded room they are locked up in 24/7?

The gagging orders (that's orders printed on cloth and stuffed into their mouths) prevent them talking directly to each other, despite all being huddled around the same dirty puddle in the middle of their cell room which serves as their only water source.
The beta testers forum is also the only way the Bakers can communicate with them, it being far to dangerous to health to venture to close, even to the door, to the beta room without a full hasmat suit and a stick of celery.

From Karyn's description, it sounds like the beta-testers and I have stayed at the same hotel.

I think it was a motel not a hotel.

It was like the Beta Motel or something similar to that ... scary place.

I always thought it was a shame that Max never got past the beta stage. It was always superior to VHS.
