The “Velvet Rope” beta update fixes a pair of significant bugs related to site privileges. This update is strongly recommended for everyone using the Big Medium 2 beta.

The new version addresses these issues:

• Fixed a bug that can reset alert preferences for all users and site privileges for all non-admins when deleting a Big Medium account.
• Fixed a crashing bug that could happen when trying to edit an account that has no privileges at any site.
