Re: LATEST ACCOUNT CLEAR-UP
Neil, do you mean that you don't dedicate your entire life to this forum/website and that other activities might occupy a greater chunk of your time, thereby resulting in Web pages that only a tiny handful of people actually look at not being fully and regularly updated?

Re: LATEST ACCOUNT CLEAR-UP
Come on, that line saying "new website content coming soon" has been there for the best part of a year now. It wouldn't take a moment to remove it. It doesn't give a great impression of the site to newcomers.Steeevooo wrote:Neil, do you mean that you don't dedicate your entire life to this forum/website and that other activities might occupy a greater chunk of your time, thereby resulting in Web pages that only a tiny handful of people actually look at not being fully and regularly updated?

Deleting it and just redirecting the domain name directly to the forum homepage would seem the most sensible option.

Oh, I hadn't appreciated that. Sorry - perhaps I'll contact moley about it.tubeguru wrote: I couldn't change it if I wanted to. I transferred ownership of the tubechallenge.com domain to moley earlier this year, and unless he grants me access to the files I can't change anything.
I don't know what you mean by that. The last time I mentioned it was in June, I think, and moley said that something was on its way. I don't think that it's unreasonable to drop another reminder six months later.Also, not many newcomers have come to the forum to complain about the non-existent "new content". You're the only one with your knickers in a twist over it.
EDIT: Here's the thread. Moley's response on 13th June was "Not too much longer... I hope".

Re: LATEST ACCOUNT CLEAR-UP
So,
my daughter was born 10+ weeks premature, she lives day to day in an intensive care incumbator, my wife is recovering from a major operation, I'm spending my days up the hospital and I get a whinging private message complaining about an out of date webpage
There are more important things in life, like life itself for me to worry about.
If you don't like my response LEAVE and NEVER RETURN.

Re: LATEST ACCOUNT CLEAR-UP
I only do, to not type '/forum' on the end, and click the link for 'forum', so if it was redirected then it would save me doing either. Yes please, it is a good idea for us to sort it out!

Good point, and I am thinking that that is much more important to worry about than a website homepage, however it would be good if someone could do something, even if this is moley giving tubeguru access and him doing it, as I assumed that tubeguru had the server as it was him that started the thread.moley wrote:So,

Re: LATEST ACCOUNT CLEAR-UP
Well I'm very sorry to hear all that, and I had absolutely no idea. I'm very sorry for any upset I may have caused you. I wish you'd replied to me privately though, as I'm finding this rather embarrassing now.moley wrote:So,

There's no need to adopt that tone. I had no way of knowing you had difficulties in your personal life. I wish your wife and daughter all the very best of health.If you don't like my response LEAVE and NEVER RETURN.
I'll take a break from the forum for a little while, I think.
