I know I have made entries in the past inquiring about a non-updated link on my account page in the first few hours after a new release. Don't know if it would be feasible to update accounts first before releasing product but it just seems things would flow more smoothly if it were done in that manner.

Mike, I hear you. However, before we ask our web master to manually run an SQL to update the download links database for the prior version to the new vesion, we must have the product available. Otherwise all links would be broken and we'd have a real mess!

Releasing Microstudio 3.000 on our site took me 4.5 hours. I left work at 8:30PM. Its incredibly hectic, and we did Hoster 3.312 the next day, which added even more confusion and workload. When I tried to contact our web master to do his part, he was out of town until the next day. It was unexpected and caused the extra delay.
