Upgrade is complete!

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

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!

Update on the Upgrade!

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

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

Update Begins

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

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!

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

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.

Story Updates and New Software in the Works

Serial Story Updates

This week, LT3 Press is pleased to bring you Chapter 22 of Megan Derr’s Bound and Chapter 8 of The Bastard Prince, also by Megan Derr. You can log in to view these chapters from the serial fiction page.

New Serial Subscription Software!

We’re also excited to announce that we’re working with a new software vendor to upgrade our current subscription membership software. 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!
