Can I be the first to complain about the new layout and how I can't stand it, even though I haven't seen it yet.

I'm in GMT time and by my reckoning I've got less than 5 hours left to enjoy the old layout... :-/

I dislike change a lot too.
Is WP located at GTM-5?
I am in GTM time as well, GTM+1.
Are those moving too:
:cat:

?
I hope so.

Cool, now hopefully it actually happens this time...thought it was gonna be upgraded a few weeks ago, but either way right on.

It's definitely happening at 8:30pm EST (5:30pm PST).

Please for us Eurocentric Aspies could you also post the shutdown time in the Paris time zone in future, while for the Euroskeptic aspies in the UK please post it in the London time zone.

Good luck with the upgrade, I hope it works well.

The reset will be at 02:30 Paris time which is 01:30 GMT (01:30z) which is past my bed time, if I stay up that late I will turn into an orc.

While I know that trolls tend to get banned from WP, can I ask Alex if I would be allowed to stay at WP if I turn into a goblin or an orc as a result of too little beauty sleep ?

For WP members, the upgrade will begin at 8:00 pm EST.

For the military, the evolution will commence at 0100 hours, UJT.

For the people at Autism Squeaks, the big hand will be eight and the little hand will be on the 12, and then we all go bye-bye.

Maybe a mod can answer me, if I stay up late to watch the shutdown and then turn into a goblin due to a lack of beauty sleep will I still be allowed to be a member of the wrong planet ?

On a more sensible note, I just hope that everyone can get on well with the new format. The existing format is autism friendly. I just hope that the new one is equally friendly to us autists.

I haven't seen the new layout yet, but I already know that I will HATE it. I rather keep things like it is! :wink:

Im going to miss the alternating colour of posts, makes things addon much more readable.

Though this new design appears to be very similar to many modern forums, it should stand as a test of will and a test to coping with change, saying that, the more lower and severe functioning ASDs that have issues with little if any change what so ever could be affected much worst than most.

Hopefully it's Assessibility Complient also adapts well to a range Addons or site settings available to most if not all Reading and other disorders involving vision. It should stand as testament as one of the biggest hubs for any ASD individual it can cater for.

Alex said 8 THIRTY.

I don't know what UJT time is, unless you mean Universal Time. Also, when I was in the military 8:30 Pm was 20:30.

For the people at Autism Squeaks, the big hand will be eight and the little hand will be on the 12, and then we all go bye-bye.

Wouldn't that be like 20 minutes to 12?
