I still believe you will get more testers if you totally remove the timeout
(dont even get me started on the idea of a nag warning to click through!
Bad bad bad!!!!!). Having to keep mucking around with date/time settings to
get it to run or reverting back to 3.6 is a pita so I for one dont bother
with any betas. If however there was no nag, or timeout, I would be more
than happy to beta test.
