It’s like they’d never used the internet before… or technology. A reminder is definitely better than cutting it off all the time

Did Grogu say, “Reconsider this post, you must” :rofl:

No, I don’t believe any changes have yet been made.

First a consultation had to take place, which I believe has now finished, but there is also a need for an agreed period to prepare for the changes on a technical level - so that will take some additional time.

I’m not sure if a final date for the change has been agreed yet or not?

Anything streetwide or standard altering is going to be a very slow rollout indeed. I’d be surprised if we see it this year.

It would be nice to not have to re-enroll all my apps 4+ times a year though.
