Puzzle deadlines extended, global chat help

[beta_helix]

We have extended the deadlines for the Beginner Puzzle and Puzzle 459 by 3 days (due to all the new visitors to the site).

Again, welcome to all the new Foldit players. We are working on improving the server response time. If you are having trouble with global chat, you may want to use an IRC client to access chat: http://foldit.wikia.com/wiki/Fold.it_IRC_(chat)_Information

hmm, this post seems to be unclear as to when the original deadline was and to when it is being extended to.

All the expiration dates for current Science Puzzles can be found here:

Please note that the Intro Puzzles will never expire.

So what is the deadline for new players? I couldn't find anything on the site…
