The site upgrade...

[Original202]

What this campaign needs is an online petition, email bombing and a strongly worded press release.

[hamstrung]

What do we want?

 

A button!

When do we want it?

 

As soon as is convenient (if possible)

 

[Hand Shandy]

[Thants]

I'd like the push the button idea.

[Code]

I guess everyone would if it was there.

I'll tell you this much - Paypal can go and suck 10,000 dicks as far as I'm concerned.

 

So far it's told me that my Visa debit card is registered to another paypal account and won't let me pay with it (it's not; unsurprisingly it's registered to my fucking account, what with it being my card and everything) and now it's just crashed in the middle of trying to make a payment with my visa credit card, giving me a helpful message which basically says "Aww shucks, we don't have a fucking clue what just happened but check your e-mails and account in half an hour or so to see if we took a payment from you or not."

 

Best bit was when the site suggested that I register my bank account with them and transfer money to my Paypal account from it. First off, why the fuck would I want to piss about transferring money from my bank to Paypal when I've got a debit card which I can use to pay for anything online (other than via Paypal it appears) and online banking which I can use to pay anyone directly from either of my bank accounts and secondly, in view of the above what could possibly convince me to trust them with my bank account details? They'll probably tell me that my bank account is registered to someone else as well and send all my money to some Nigerian scam artist. Or worse, Duncan Oldham.

 

Anyway, when they finally get their shit together I'm going gold.

 

 

Edit: Oh and I can't be doing with the white boxes at the bottom of posts either, just looks wrong, but I'm sure it's not exactly your top priority right now.

Just to clarify, is the rep/neg function a season ticket only thing now?

[dave u]

As for the button, I have a rough idea what would need to be done to make it work, but whether I'd be able to do it is another matter. I'll give it a go, but it might be beyond my below average coding abilities.

[RedKnight]

It's fine on my laptop with Firefox and in work on Chrome.

[fowler9]

Did you click the 'remember me' checkbox when you logged in?

 

yeah it seems to be at random whilst im on the site it logs me out

[hamstrung]

Did I read normal worksafe was now back? Not in the drop-down for me.

It is now.

[TheBitch]

Not mad keen on the quote box. Preferred the old style.

[Guest TK-421]

Any chance we can have some Laura Ashley floral skin patterns? My Mum was mad for that shit.

[DJLJ]

It is now.

 

And now it also work on the GF, happy times indeed. Thanks Dave.

[Guest LFD]

I can't post new threads, although some might say that is a good thing.

This may not be such a good thing, given that it might induce me on there when I'm bored at work.

[Wor Horse]

Yeah I was going to open a thread in the GF and can't.

[Code]

Looks like its not possible to start new threads on the FF at the moment or any other forum for that matter.

[Captain]

No problems starting new threads, I just did one for test.

[Trumo]

It only shows I've signed in once I click on Forum Index.

[Stouffer]

Dunno if anyone else has experienced it. But I haven't been able to get on the website for a few hours, I know TSO has/had the same problem.

 

Ant and the Special one sitting in a tree; B U M M I N G.

[Trumo]

Having seen the state of their posts recently, Ant had better lube up.

[Wor Horse]

Still can't post new threads, get a blank white page.

I didn't receive a June or July newsletter btw. Could someone forward the last one to me so I can read more about the changes?
