what's Up Todd? Not sure if this question has been asked but will there ever be a LP App for iPhone users to download?

No, Lottery Post is too big and a separate app is really unnecessary. Anyone can already install LP as an icon on their phone's home screen. You just use the Add to Home Screen feature in the browser. The website is designed to run well as an app in that manner.

Love the new and improved website...It is "crisp."

Now, I still have a few days to learn how to use editor properly. I have to re-type my numbers every time I post to start our thread. Smh...

Todd, will the user need to make any changes on their part, or will the new page replace the one we have marked in our favorites? Will the URL remain the same?

It will not require any changes. If the URL of a pages changes, the new website will automatically direct you to it.

...and replace it with the new one.

If you haven't yet tried the preview website, now's your chance. Is there anything you want to provide feedback about before we switch over to it?

You can see the What's New page for the list of items that I've fixed and changed since the preview website went live in June.

I'll probably get started in the morning on Aug. 15 (a Sunday) so that if anything goes wrong I should have a good amount of time to fix it before Monday. (Not that I'm expecting anything to go wrong.)

It's going to be a very complex series of steps to retire the old desktop and mobile websites and then change over to the new one. So expect a bit of downtime, and be sure to get any predictions posted very early in the morning. I'll probably start about 10:00 am or so (Eastern Time).

If you have any questions or comments, you can feel free to leave them here or send me a PM.

I am SO looking forward to moving everything to the new website and completing this 2-year project!

I like this one. I tried it out before

I have been using the new site since it started and have absolutely nothing to suggest. Thanks for all you do!

If you're referring to the way her profile picture appears below, then that's because she does not have an avatar setup. You can see on the current/old website that the forums use a different "default" avatar than the new website uses. But they both indicate a default avatar that everyone gets until they setup their own avatar.

(BTW, have you seen the new custom avatars that are available? You can setup an avatar on the new website that nobody else will be offered.)

Edit: the image above is one I pasted directly into the forum post — it's so simple to do on the new website.

Overall the site looks great.

You are using a different font for the new site and it may be the same size as the old site but it looks smaller. I would personally prefer the old font or may just make the new font just a little bigger.

I like being able to see as much as possible on one page. When looking at the pick 3 forum on the old site we can see the pinned topics and the other hot and open topics on one page.

On the new site, we can only see the pinned topics. I thought you may be trying to create more space for advertising or something. It's cool. Not a big deal.

One last thing, the arrow at the bottom right-hand side that helps you scroll up faster, can we have one at the top as well. I understand you have the scroll-down arrow but the scroll down at the top right-hand side is not the same. If we are in the middle of a page and need to scroll to the bottom of the page we have no way to quickly do that.

That's true, but it's not on the old website either. I'll look into it.

Edit: OK, it's been added (as a generic Pick 5 game).
