Beta forums

Is there any intention of opening a restricted (or not) forum for beta testers?

Hello all,
Actually it's very good idea. We had special forums for beta testers in the past, however it was pretty restricted and not very active.
We would consider this option for sure and most probably it would be implemented.

I too would be in favour of a forum for Beta testers.

Same here...I'm totally up for beta testing on my older PC.
@ jehosophat: how do you have a "ATI2009 Build 9796" release? is it a beta? I see it for download from Softpedia (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Acronis-True-Image-Home-Download-…), but not as an official download from acronis (at least from what I can see). Thanks for any info.

Build 9796 is the last official English language build for TI2009.
If you have registered your current version/build with Acronis, then the latest build should be available to you in your account.
There have been reports that some accounts don't appear to ahve been updated especially those who have registered via th eUK site, but a PM to Acronis has I believe sorted that problem out.

Yep, I'm living in spain, so registered via the UK site (as downloading other software from their relevant sites usually defaulted to the Spanish language version)
PM sent....thanks bodgy for the quick reply!

Hello all, The situation is not because some accounts are not updated but because there are different license types. The latest build for UK version of Acronis True Image Home 2009 is build #9770.
P.S SammyBoy, I've answered your PM with some comments.
Thanks,

I too am all for an OPEN ( read only for non Beta testor's ) Beta testing forum.
That way people can be aware of what is upcoming without a lot of trash posts.

Hi Michael,
Received your PM and now the issue is resolved.
Any update on making the Beta forum read only for non members?
As a beta tester I stand ready to test any upgrades/New Products you would like.
HAve Fun,
Jerry

As a long time Beta Tester for Acronis, I don't agree that the forum wasn't very active.
It was more a problem of a Beta tester submitting a bug report in the forum and the beta site and NOT usually getting an answer from anyone from the Acronis Beta Test Team. That can get a little frustrating.
So far as being restrictive, if a Beta release is only given out to a certain number of testers, well of course it's restrictive. ( as it should be )
I am curently trying a new Beta release but all I have is an email address to submit reports. At least I think that's what it's for? But what good is that, if you can't see and read of other reports from other testers?

Hi Robert,
I too am currently trying a new Beta release but all I have is an email address to submit reports. At least I think that's what it's for? But what good is that, if you can't see and read of other reports from other testers?
This SHOULD BE a critical issue as all beta testers would like to see what is going on with the
program being beta tested.
I can see limiting the use of the beta tester forum to beta testers so that false rumors do no get
started based on what has been found.
Just my two-bits,
Jerry

That's my point. Where can fellow Beta testers examine the comments of other Beta Testers when all we get is an email address?
At least in earlier beta tests there was a Beta Forum available to ONLY beta testers. Now?
Just a one way email input.
C'mon, Acronis at least respond to us here!

Hello all,
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience and the delay with the answer. We have plans regarding adding Forum for Beta testers, currently it's pending on implementation of new advanced access rules system.
Thanks,
