After more than a year of development, testing, and gathering your feedback, we’re confidently retiring the Members.EzineArticles.com member interface on June 1st to make room for the new, sleek, and innovative design of My.EzineArticles.com.
Our first milestone is set for Tuesday, April 17th, when My.EzineArticles.com becomes the default interface. During this time, you’ll be automatically redirected from Members.EzineArticles.com to My.EzineArticles.com. If you’re not quite ready for this change, you’ll still be able to opt-out and resume use of the Members.EzineArticles.com interface, but keep in mind: Time is running out!
If you’re still using the old Members.EzineArticles.com interface, you’ll notice two Countdown Timers at the top of your interface:
Primary Timer: April 17, 2012 – My.EzineArticles.com becomes the default interface.
Secondary Timer: June 1, 2012 – My.EzineArticles.com officially replaces Members.EzineArticles.com.
Discover why you should make the switch and start using the new and improved tools My.EzineArticles.com offers in the video below:
