All - we made this change b/c tho we love 7 Cups of Tea (I really, really, really like it), on the Internet, the shorter the URL the better. It is also easier to say - like say 7 cups vs. 7 cups of tea. Same goes for typing. The shorter the name/URL th easier it is for people.

Also, sorry for not giving a heads up earlier on this. Cris put the banner up live this morning, but we should have made a post earlier. We've just been slammed here lately; that should balance out soon.

@GlenM

and people can still say "of tea" and the longer domain still works but it is no longer primary.

@IIMercifulHarmonyII Well to quote what @KrinkTheMellowUnicorn said

"all the old links will work. we will continue saying 7 Cups of Tea and 7 Cups in casual speech as we do today. the poem is the same. the metaphor is still there. it's just a shorter url and way of saying the name."

Yay! We can pour coffee or hot chocolate or milk or soup or eat ice-cream or marshmallows or nutella in 7 cups now! They're all unfilled so you can unleash your imagination! And you won't even have to press 5 more keys to get to this site now. ;)

Hi!

Thanks for the team involved in making the transition easy. I am not sure if it is the place to say this but I am having trouble with seeing my conversations sometimes and if I write something no matter what I do the messages do not get posted. I checked and it is not my internet connection.

Thank you again! :)

So conversations are not working in the site for you but they are on the app, @zeina?

Cc @ezraBC

What browser and operating system are you using and have you tried clearing your cache (browser storage)?
