Huh, I guess I expected a little more response than none at all. 
I'm very glad to hear you are updating your planner, yay! Unfortunantly, I'm not in position to get around to testing it today. But thanks much and welcome back. 
I think that at the time I am writing this message, a fair number of your potential testers are at work or at school and thus unable to access either these forums or the Titan forums. I expect interest will pick up in a few hours.

Why MA ratings should be changed from stars to "like" or "dislike"
A better algorithm for ordering MA arcs

I've got this version up to a point where I think getting some extra sets of eyes poking and prodding it for show-stopping bugs would be highly beneficial. If you have a Titan key and therefore access to the Titan Network message boards, PM me your Titan account info and I'll get you access to the Beta board there and you can get started on testing it out. Don't have a Key? Make one, and let me know your account info! It only takes a minute to register. With I16 looming, I'd like to get this as polished as possible, as quickly as possible, so your help is immensely appreciated! Also, please keep in mind - anyone who volunteers for this needs to keep in mind that while this new version should be usable for the most part, it's by no means feature-complete. |

Why would needing a key make it harder? If you want to do anything on the Titan Network you need one anyway, and on top of all that it lets me keep the folks testing it in one central area - namely the Titan Boards. |

I mean if you don't want to register a Key I'm not holding that against you, but it's not like I'm asking anything so crazy these days. Titan is pretty huge
As much as I would love to log in and test it out, I STILL can't log in with my Titan key

Can't log in where? If you're talking about the old Planner, that isn't necessary. You just need to log in to the Titan Forums, as I stated in my OP.

Can't log into the planner. And I AM logged into the forums. I can get to any other Titan site but the planner. And as always has been the case by the way.

Yep, that's fine. Needing to log into the old planner is not required for this. I know the old planner doesn't work correctly with the Titan Key. That thing is barely alive as it is, which is why I'm working on the new one - which will be fully Key compliant.|

To further clarify - the ONLY reason you need a key is to log in to the Titan forums and post in the special area I set up there to concentrate the feedback. You don't need to log in to the old Planner, and you won't even need to log in to the new one (yet).
Okay, I see. I'm sorry if I bit your head off SP. No hard feelings

No worries at all! I totally understand the frustration with the old planner, and I can't blame anyone for being bitter about it |

First feature I can think of: Better integration with Mid's. I'd like to publish my builds from Mid's to SP's Online Planner for everyone to see/use/consume/reuse.
Second feature: Ability to tag/favorite/comment builds I like from other people. After that it's all about # of favs and ranking builds flickr-like
Welcome back!
BTW thank you for your work on the planner i've always used this one, and am looking forward to the updates.

Haven't seen him since.

Welcome back, i always liked your Planner.
Passing on the test, tho. Already too much on my plate

Mids integration is definitely in the works. It won't be part of initial launch, but I've been coordinating possibilities with the Mids guys and it's definitely doable.|

I was going to put the comments feature back in (it's in the old one), but I do like the ability to tag and favorite builds.
Thanks for all the encouragement everyone! So far nothing seems to be majorly broken, it just needs a few more final features to be made public!
I'd like to thank all of you who have volunteered to help me bug-squash so far! We've found some good stuff and progress is coming along pretty quickly, I think.
I'd still like to get some more eyes on it, so if you have some time to spare, send me a PM and I'll get you access to the new version!
Thank you for your efforts suckerpunch.
I'll give it a look. Titan username is Leandro.
