Delay to Baen July Webscription release?
Anyone know if the July Webscription release has been delayed for some reason? I would have expected it to be out by now, but the books are still showing as "Three Quarters".

Arnold Bailey has been in the hospital, and he's the one responsible for a lot of the Webscription stuff. There are people pitching in while he's out, but no doubt they're new to this and trying to figure it all out.
On Baen's Bar this morning, a retired geek offered to help out, so there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Unless that was an exploding spaceship? |

I'm getting a little annoyed by this. Two support e-mails to Webscriptions entirely ignored and still no release of the product that I've paid for .

On Wednesday, someone posted on Baen's Bar that the rest of July was supposed to come out at the end of this week. However, in Mission of Honor and Threshold, there are some formatting "hiccups" in some formats (such as epub).
According to one poster, most of July was already up as of June 25, but a couple of the titles were delayed. They're giving the usual advice about clearing caches, refreshing, waving chicken feathers over the keyboard, sprinkling salt over your shoulder, and chanting in Latin. (Gotta cover all the bases. ) |

So are you saying it should all be up by the end of today?

I don't know. I thought the end of the week was Saturday. so there might be another delay.
You might want to post on Baen's Bar instead of sending an e-mail. Sometimes I get quicker answers from the Bar, especially if Arnold isn't around. I do hope they figure out what to do next time he is sick. |

Thanks for your help, Anne - I'll do that. I'm sorry that Arnold's ill, but it's not really fair on paying customers for any business not to have contingency plans for such an event.
