The next release for Reviews on Shopping.com is scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2009 and will start at 9am PST.

This release will add rating and flagging features to reviews. Additionally, a nightly process will transfer Epinions members, reviews, and review ratings from Epinions to the new Community database. Because the release requires extensive database changes, reviews on Shopping.com will be unavailable during the entire update process (may take up to 12 hours).

During this planned outage time, reviews will not be shown on Shopping.com, and Community members will not be able to log into Shopping.com, view their profiles, or write reviews.
Please note that Epinions.com will not be affected by this release.

We invite and encourage the Epinions Community to try out these new features and give us feedback either by posting to the message boards or by sending an email directly to me.

Thanks again,

Christal
