Update on the Yuri’s Night website

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Hi, all!

As you may have noticed, we’re still in the process of updating the Yuri’s Night webpage for 2012.

We’ve run into some issues with our server while integrating the new Yuri’s Night website design, and we’ve run a bit behind schedule as we attempt to sort those out. We’re still looking forward to bringing the updated YN website to you in the near future, and we’ll have a system for officially registering Yuri’s Night events available soon.

The new website features improved party search capabilities, an all-new backend for event organizers, and many other exciting design and layout features.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to Rock The Planet!
