This is being investigated, we will post updates, but it may take a number of days due to the on going site migration.

This is still being worked on.

Apologies, the outage has been longer than expected due to minor, but time consuming, post migration issues. We are hoping the result will be a good foundation to move the blitz feature forward from the earlier version which had not evolved it many, many years.

We are putting together a whole new implementation, and I would realistically estimate that it will be available (in some form) early next week.

This is really bad...Why RHP is taking too much time to complete such a small thing? I was thinking of taking a registered membership, but it looks like I can do it somewhere else...

Thanks for improving Blitz. I really enjoyed it before and am looking forward to enjoying the new version.

Just to set the expectation, it is not so much an "improvement", but a technology change.

But, the new version is far easier to maintain, so we can take it forward for future versions, way beyond what we had before.

First version is bare bones though, just to get it live ASAP, hopefully matching everything we had previously.

And it is coming on well. Mainly just presentation and testing left, then it can be released for you guys to break 🙂
