I noticed that some of you guys have compiled the new "beta invitation
request" form (at latedroid.com/beta), which is odd, as days ago I had
already sent an invitation to *all* of you.

Perhaps the invitation emails were never actually sent (bad
UserVoice!), or they got caught in today's blissfully stringent spam
filters. Perhaps some of you simply changed email address - thus the
"manual" request - then I'm just wasting your time :D

I'm writing this just to be safe - if you *did* get the invitation
email, sorry for the unbearable (at this point) spam! :/

At any rate, the whole group here already should already have access
to the beta forum - just sign in at feedback.latedroid.com ;)

For completeness, I'm pasting the original invitation message below. I
think that the link isn't really necessary; if you don't see
"JuiceDefender beta" on the right pane after signing in, let me know
here (and check your spam folder for the original invitation-cum-
link).

-----

I have opened a feedback/support forum with UserVoice, which *seems*
to be flexible enough to use it for feature requests, bug reports and
general support. I sure hope that turns out to be the case.

Anyway, it should certainly make sense to move the beta group over
there; things can be better organized in a 'bug-centric' way and you
can decide to subscribe to individual bugs (or ideas); it should help
cut the spam you get :)
I'll keep the Google Group going for a while, though, until we're all
confident that the new platform will work.

I have already set up a private "JuiceDefender beta" forum, and I'm
spamming you (again!) with the invitation link.

HOWEVER, before you rush to click on it: I've done a bit of testing,
and it seems that there's a way to avoid creating a password for
UserVoice (hate passwords!)
You will need to:
- go to http://feedback.latedroid.com
- click on 'Sign in'
- click on the Google icon to sign in with your Google (Gmail) account
via OpenID/OAuth
- complete the sign in process
- and ONLY THEN click on the invitation link in the email

This way (if I'm not mistaken) your Gmail address (obviously it needs
to be the same address as the one you signed in with in the third step
above) will be associated with your login, and you'll be able to
securely access the beta forum - as well as the public one - via
Google authentication without the need for yet another password.
Victory!

Well! Thanks for your time, and I hope to see you soon on the new
forum ;)

Hi,
I can't see the beta-section on the right pane after logging in via
google-auth.
The invitation-email also didn't reach me - just checked all
googlemail-folders (incl. spam-folder).

I never received an email invitation, couldn't see it in my spam
folder either...? But I signed in to the new forum with my Google
account and it worked like a charm.

Meh, UserVoice has problems already...

I'm manually re-sending all the invitations :(
Lemme know if you guys get it this time.

Where can we download latest betas? you mention that deleting a single
location is implemented in 2.0.2 can we try it?

oh, i've just found:
"Should be fixed in the v2 branch - if you're interested you can get
the latest experimental build at http://latedroid.com/beta/latest -
but beware! It's still *very* unstable."

what is your plan? when do you want us to get involved in testing?

@ratson: but, but - I just checked and you DO show up in UserVoice's
beta forum list...
Doesn't it appear on the right pane? ("JuiceDefender beta" under
"General" (under "Forums"))
Should I start thinking that UserVoice is just a pile of cleverly
disguised bugginess and phantom invitations? :(((

And, to answer your question: I want you all to get involved in
testing since August 8th (roughly) when I invited everyone over to the
new forum!! (or so I thought...)
I certainly had hoped that by know the beta forum be overflowing with
bug reports or suggestions :/

Maybe if you put that Feedback link up on top instead of at the side, more people will be able to spot it. I had a tough time looking for it. The link is a bit inconspicuous there at the side.

Not to be a Mr. Smarty Pants, but I had no trouble finding it.

I guess Mark has  changed it because I'm having trouble looking for it again. Not there on the side anymore but there's a support link on top with a sign in link. Don't really know if that was there before.

I got the invitation both times. Today I headed to sing in, but I
can't seem to figure it out. I successfully signed in using gmail
account. I can see all forums, but JD beta has a lock next to it and I
can not find any way how to post to regular or beta JD forum. I am
missing something obvious?
