Preview site is up!
Got the email a few minutes ago that the preview site is up. But it's only for 4 days, and CO will roll out the new site for the public 11/11.
I've already reported a bug to them.

Do we have someone on standby to warm-up the "Account Wiped Out!" thread on a moment's notice? Any volunteers?

Some of us signed up with Scott about half a year ago.
Just finished making another comment to them.
ALCO - Last night, my mom's account was wiped out for about 10 minutes. But I did not panic, I did not post to the "Account Wiped Out!" thread.

Are any of you that are testing it Mac users?
Does it work as expected?

It doesn't seem much different from the user's point of view.

Could someone post a list of new features. I poked around a bit and didn't find anything earthshattering.

I don't know what the rules are and I won't post screen shots or say anything specific, but overall the site looks and feels the same way. Just some additional features and some changes in the information pages.

The changes I've noticed are very subtle as well. I haven't done much except look around some, but will be using OLCI on the preview site three times in the next few days, as well as probably purchasing a flight.
One thing I did find is that I can assign myself a seat on a Colgan flight on the preview site. I can't get the regular site to make any seat assignment changes for the same flight.
