Site Update
By: Zach Karpinski — Aug. 16, 2010
Welcome to the new version of InBubbleWrap.com. If it looks familiar you're not imagining things. While we have rewritten iBW from the ground up we've kept the interface very similar to the site you've been using for years. The old site was built on some outdated programming libraries and it was very difficult to maintain. The company that originally developed it is no longer around. I've been working on this functional copy of iBW for a couple months and we are now ready to switch over.
We're importing all of the user accounts with some exceptions (more on that later). Previous offers are staying on the old site so that we can have a fresh start here. Shipping addresses are also not being imported so that we can ensure each person enters a valid address for future offers. Before you can enter to win an offer you will have to update your address.
Some user accounts had passwords that were either too short or too long. The minimum length is now six characters and the maximum is 20. If you try to sign in and it doesn't look like your account is in the database you probably were excluded due to an invalid password. No worries you can easily sign up again.
I will continue to tweak the layout and we'll be gradually adding features in the future. The best part of all is that everything should be working far better than the previous site. Even if we have a few bugs here and there it will be much easier to fix them.
Be sure to sign up for the iBW newsletter so that you know when every new offer comes out!
UPDATE:
Sally has added the first offer on our new site. We're giving away copies of An Amazing (But True!) Story.
