I'd like to thank everyone who has provided constructive feedback on the new system. I'd also like to thank everyone who has show their depth of concern for Wrox books and this site.

However, we are not going back to the Lyris solution. James and Bruce have fully explained why this is no longer an option. These are not excuses, but valid technical and business reasons. Asking the same question again, and them posting the same answer is not going to change anyone's opinion on this situation.

We will continue to work to improve the current system. We appreciate your feature requests and as you can see, James has been quick to implement the ones that are immediately feasible. In particular, the requests made by Jeff and Hal are going to be implemented and the Wrox team thanks them personally for their help in trying to find some constructive solutions. We're making a list of the others and investigating if and how we can approach them.

For now, I'd ask if you have specific additional feature and change requests, you start a new thread with that request.
