New website is coming!

Dear %anonymous%,

On Tuesday April 23rd, 2019, we will launch our redesigned website. Most of the code has been rewritten, some features removed, whilst others have been added. Overall, we are confident these changes will provide you a much cleaner and faster user experience.

Although we are hoping for a limited amount of downtime and no major technical issues, we would still recommend you to consider the following steps:

  • a) if you are planning on travelling or on hosting around Tuesday, the 23rd, make sure you do advance preparation, especially regarding contact information of your potential hosts & guests. Ask for an email address or mobile (cell) phone number (whatsapp) etc;
  • b) check your spam folder for any messages that may come from @bewelcome.org and mark these as "not spam" (we have identified the issue during testing, and marking BeWelcome notifications as "not spam" is the only thing that works well)
  • c) any changes to your settings, location or data after April 18th or any new files uploaded after April 18th may be lost in the migration of our database. Once the new website is in place, please take a short moment to see if all settings and data are correct.
  • d) if you see any bugs or strange website / platform behaviour, you can post them in the forum. We will create a forum thread called "bugs in the new website" where you can post your remarks.

We are excited and hope you will be just as pleased as we are with the redesign.

The BeWelcome Volunteers.
