Re: Beta Testing Promotion on Blog

I always apply betas to all of my servers/links. On the servers, I just back up the settings during the first beta cycle (and again if I have made a number of changes during the beta cycles).

My family has come to understand that they are part of the beta testing cycle and have to report issues to me. They also get excited about new features/bug fixes that impact them so I always mention them and tell them that they need to make sure and test bugs to validate that they are fixed.

So far, with all of the betas that I have tested, I have only had to uninstall/reinstall once (boy - am I jinxing myself).
