The BTBFF Software Update is Done!

Jan 22, 2012 - The BTBFF.com software upgrade is finally done. Things took a bit longer than expected, mostly due to having to put together our own photo gallery (be sure to check out the new format!).

We hopefully won't have to do that again for a while! There is some fallout from the upgrade, however, and we will be launching a contest shortly for everyone who helps us do a little post-migration cleanup.

After we're done tying up loose ends, we'll be rolling out some new look-and-feel changes, plus adding more content (at last!).

THANKS again for your continued support!
