We have been preparing this for many months, and the upgrade was made Sunday to Monday overnight to cause the least disturbance.
While the majority of things went well, it's inevitable that a few glitches are there, mainly our redirect short links are often causing error messages, and such.
If you are experiencing any problem, please try to log out and log in to the website: https://bayareachess.com/accounts/login/?next=/mtype/
