OzTips.com site relaunch

On 21 July 2011, we’ll be relaunching OzTips.com with a new site design!

Since Yahoo!7 and Oztips joined forces back in July last year, we’ve been busy working to upgrade much of the technology that OzTips currently uses. The existing OzTips website works on one system whilst our Yahoo!7 sites work on another completely different system. Getting these 2 systems to talk to each other is near impossible. The effort that we could put into making both systems talk to each other is much better invested in creating for you an awesome site that can leverage all the benefits of Yahoo!7 technology directly.

You can check out a preview of the new site here.

On July 21st you will need to follow some easy steps to upgrade your OzTips ID to a new or existing Yahoo!7 ID. We will make these steps clear to you when the time comes.

All of the following will be transferred to the new site on June 23rd as part of this upgrade.
1. Your Tipster Name
2. All your Competitions
3. All your results and scoring
4. All your profile preferences
5. All your tips
