It's night already over there? In England, it's not even mid-day. It must only be early morning in East Coast America, let alone any farther afield.
Looks like my loose predictions that mid-day Americaland time would be when it was updated were somewhat accurate, then.

It's 3: 30 AM Pacific Standard Time. Darn thing still isn't updated.
I'll just keep refreshing it in my other window for another couple hours.

Ok, now this is just annoying me. I've refreshed the page every half hour for an entire day. I can now recite the old message by heart. It looks like us Australians might end up disadvantaged. It's only 7pm but we don't know how much longer we'll have to wait. I'm not going to be happy if I don't get to see it tonight.

Maybe they will update it at the thirteenth hour American time... ie 1pm...
Doesn't seem unlikely to me... but then... lol...

I'd say that the very latest time for it to be updated is 5 or 6 pm, Central or Eastern time, by which time I'll have gone to bed, I think. Hopefully, it will be updated sooner than that.

The 13th hour sounds like a good guess. That'll make it... 6 pm over here if I'm adding it right.

Well if they updated it at midnight central time it would have been the 13th hour here. If it's any later than lunchtime eastern or central time I suspect I'll have gone to bed.

I do wish they would actually be on time. It doesn't represent Lemony Snicket and the book series well; Late, unpunctual, untruthful. I'd hate to say it, but if this were Harry Potter they probably would be on time. I have to go on a family vacation in half an hour about so if its not updated soon I'll miss out on the whole thing. Hopefully LS has something up his sleeve and hasn't just slept in.

I doubt Handler is closely involved with the precise schedules of these things (rather, I think only the content, and not even the layout of that, is determined by him); that will be up to some low-level HarperCollins web monkey.

Handler has probably provided the content of the site, but I agree that someone else is putting it up. Who knows where that person, or group of people, are, and when they'd be likely to update the site?
I'll just keep checking it all day, as much as I can.

Well, I just got up about 20 minutes ago and I was afraid I would miss all the important discussion. Instead I only missed all the complaining from other time zones.
I live in US Central time, an hour behind Eastern time. I'm guessing the site will be updated mid-morning once all the web people get to work at Harper-Collins.
Glad I didn't get up at midnight.
