I did and it actually beeped at me when the countdown was over! Lol! Super fun! :)

It was worth the wait though! The site is absolutely AMAZING!

[anelia]

It's beautiful!!! Thanks for making SSD even more awesome.
I woke up at 7am just to see the new site and I'm so glad I did!

[NellahBean]

So fun you guys! And I've been noticing everyone's profile pics changing! Now I know why! Loving all of your updated pics and the staff bios ladies!!!

[anelia]

Yes, I just checked the Staff page and found that sweet surprise too. I really love it!!!

[Conny]

Awesome new Look :thumbup: :wub:

[Robin Carlton]

Robin or Libby, when is the gallery expected to be back up and running?

Hey! We're regenerating about 350k thumbnails in the gallery and it's at about 72k so I'm expecting the process to run through the night and finish sometime in the morning. I'll bring the gallery back online as soon as it's done. We decided last minute that we wanted to make the gallery thumbnails larger, but in order for them to look their best, we have to regenerate all of them!

Your patience is appreciated :wub:

No problemo! I understand the greatness of the task and appreciate you making this place the best!
I'm just nosy and had to ask :o

[eve11ne]

the new site looks gorgeous! :wub:

[nietis]

I LOVEEEE the new look!!!

[Gemma]

I love it!

I'm so glad we're back. I lost count of how many times I tried to get on this week :D

[mariewilcox]

Looks awesome! My one little complaint would be that while I like the pink touches, the light pink on the forum pages (titles of threads) is really hard to see :(

[emmasmommy]

it's SOOOOO pretty! :wub::wub::wub::wub:

[Valgal]

I tried but I couldn't make it past 11:00 :( I'd been up since 4am and just couldn't last. BUT, I did dream about it though. #SSDnerd

[Robin Carlton]

Gallery is still going. 163k :D

[rach3975]

Welcome back, everyone! I'm always up at midnight, but last night was the one night I was exhausted and couldn't make it. Figures! Glad to have SSD back online.

I love this! I've dreamt about SSD and my SSD peeps more than once. Lol.

The site went live at 6 am for me.
Between 2 am and 6 am I've been awake and checked the time several times. I was so excited!

[Valgal]

So can we save our web images at a larger size?

[Robin Carlton]

I'll up that for you guys. Dimensions will still be 700x700px though :) Would 500kb be easier to work with?

[color of my heart]

it's just so pretty! i feel like i need to redo my signature image, to make it coordinate.

(i still neeeeed to know what the cursive-y font is. the one on the buttons and then header where it says "designs . com" i freaking love it.)

[rach3975]

Love that the gallery images will show bigger! And yes, a little bigger would be better. 500kb or even 300 kb would be great! Usually I save my 700x700 images at a quality of 8 to get them down to 250 kb, but there are times I have to save as low as 6 to get the size right. Especially on CT pages, I wish I could keep the quality a little higher.

[icindi]

Love the new site! And all the new goodies. I want them ALL - sigh!!! Had to put a few in my wishlist!

[Conny]

Yes.....500kb sounds great :thumbup:

[MamaBee]

Oh, soo happy to have SSD back on line... I knew I was addicted to SSD, but didn't know how bad it was until it was gone... I must clicked on the SSD tab like 10 times a day... doh!

Everything is so purrty... I just love it!

[calvinawalsh]

Wonderful job on the site! It is fabulous. I love all the new little details, fonts, color, size etc. Thanks so much for the new gorgeous freebies too!

[jak]

It was 4pm Saturday for me... that was a whole day of waiting, waiting, waiting when I'd normally be on there soon after I woke up!!!

[rach3975]

Oooh-I noticed the big, beautiful previews in the wishlist. Those are fantastic! And with the old site I used to have problems with my huge wishlist loading slowly and needing to scroll right in order to see things farther down on the page...all solved now. Thanks for all the hard work you girls did on the site!

[Neverland Scraps]

I feel like that as well!! We got back from Disney and then drove to MI to visit the IL's. The first thing I said to my best friend was "gotta go to SSD and see the new releases" That's when she informed me, it was closed for remodel :crying: It was a long week waiting (it's been two for me because I took a week off of websites while we are Disney!) but the wait was worth it!! The new site looks amazing and seems to have brought everyone back out, interacting with one another! :wub::wub:

I agree with Marie on this
