Ah, the problem being an admin and setting up the sites is that it’s quite a chore to set up a “normal user” and then remember to set up a new “normal user 2” some months later to get the feel for how things look for normal people. It is just too time consuming to switch between being an admin and a normal user yourself. Not to mention the browser cookies (read: notifications & al) go haywire if you switch users by doing logout without actually closing your browser before logging in again. Since we developed a “better” anonymous system with a reused queue we really hit major problems because of this “logout, close, restart, login, do whatever, logout again, restart, login as yourself” horror. Every time you forgot to do it properly you ended up in “user not in sync” mess.
Back to weekly sounds like a perfectly good idea. Having the 50 first users suffer unless they know how to change daily to weekly or whatever is not that bad. The 50 first are probably your most important users but my problems are getting more and more moot all the time
