139703 2003-04-29 01:57:00 There is a bug in the software, or rather a design limitation . It came with Jive . We can't just upgrade to a newer version because we have custoimised our version extensively . So we need to do some hefty rewriting to fix the way Jive handles its posts in order to eliminate this particular problem . We are looking at what needs to be done . Sorry can't sack the pewrson who wrote the code since they work for the US software house we bought the core package from . . . . Biggles (121)
139704 2003-04-29 02:02:00 No worries Bruce, the good points far outweigh the inconvenience of an occasional glitch, and it is a great service IDG is providing.

Cheers

Of course not! but when something is offered for free one excepts the faults, and perhaps works WITH the people running the show to help illiminate the problems, rather than making thing worse and creating stress by working against them.

I have said this before, but it seems time to say it again.
"Those who are not happy can get their money back at the door"
This applys to those unhappy with the server downtime, or any advice offered.

139707 2003-04-29 04:06:00 Free is not necessarily faultless Jack, but it is definitely WYSIWYG.

There are no guarantees on free services but constructive criticism would probably be welcome. When the new forum was in Beta the Candy testers ripped it to bits and even hacked into the moderator features. It is a great forum and the underlying programming is all the better for the rough time we gave it.

Complaints now about an occasional outage caused by software limitations are likely to put IDG backs up so try to appreciate the quality and flavour of the doughnut instead of complaining about the hole in the middle.

Cheers

What doesn't give me the right to do it myself? I'm lazy.
