Nice job Jay you deserve it.

 

[Duvi]

Congrats man! w00t w00t.

 

[TheWeeBear]

Oh noes the app is bust tonight - The remote server returned an error, 'not found' Yikes!

 

[TheWeeBear]

It's well again, phew!

 

[Jay Bennett]

Yeah that was where the site was down, if the site is down I can't get new feeds from it. Issues have since been fixed though and you can still view the cached feeds or video sections without the site being up

 

[TheWeeBear]

Good stuff Jay, thanks for your reply.

Hi Jay, do I d/l the Zune App from the link in your Sig to get the WP Central App?

 

[Jay Bennett]

Scorask the link in my SIG should open Zune which will give you access to the marketplace on your PC. It will be opened at the page for the WPCentral app

Hey guys, we're very close to releasing v1.3 of the app and I'm about to rollout a beta that will run for a couple of weeks (I'm fairly confident in this release so I don't anticipate the need for a long beta).

If you'd like to sign up to the beta you can find instructions and information on exactly what v1.3 will contain here: Beta program for WPCentral v1.3 ? jaytbennett

Look forward to hearing from you all!

The comments in the app are all out of order. If someone replies to a comment on the site, its makes a mess of the order in the WPC app.

 

[Jay Bennett]

Yeah that will be addressed with the v1.4 update at the same time as the ability to add comments

New Metro theme

Just for those of you who aren't following me or WPCentral on twitter, here's a quick look at the new dynamic 'Metro' theme which replaces the black background option of v1.2 (see the attached images).

v1.3 is getting very close to being complete now so I hope to have it in public hands very soon!

 

[TheWeeBear]

Cor you don't waste any time Jay. Very much looking forward to it.

[Jay Bennett]

[TheWeeBear]

Wahay the 1.3 version of the app just arrived at last. (2.3 million refreshes later)

Absolutely love the new Metro theme Jay, well done once again. Sure does zip along now.

 

[Jay Bennett]

Thanks man, I did put in a fair amount of time trying to make things faster so I'm glad it shows!
