Re: Shockwave flash and share button |
Just for the record, I believe if it was not for us shaking things up, we would still have been both waiting for repairs, and waiting to hear from you.
After all, you never bothered telling people there was a known issue, so people WASTED their time reliving they were at fault.
And once you became aware of the issue, did you ever think of reverting backwards, or were you using us as guinea pigs while you were trialling and erring?
Ms Tracy, maybe you had your priorities wrong, but wont admit it.
How long does a brief posting to the Forum take, to keep members informed and not annoyance?

Re: Shockwave flash and share button |
oh TT, seems like there's often a 'blame first'...
my #1 priority is keeping data safe. so anything that is risking damage to our enormous archive takes priority.
we get a lot of people who aren't reporting accurately or confused about what they say and so it takes time to sort out reports, anecodes, etc.
lastly, it's not like i had a list of 3-10 known bugs that i sat on and laughed at struggling people while saying nothing. you think i want to take a lot of guff in forums or elsewhere? 8-)
no there were suspected unreproducible issues and vague reports so i suspected various issues and bugs were there but needed to find help identifying the problem(s) and then trying to fix/workaround.
the "non-port 80 blocking" was the most extensive fix yet with an entire overhaul of all the communication/flow.
anyway, we're doing what we can as we can.
think of us like a library in your hometown. understaffed, overrun, underfunded, but still trying to do everything they can to keep the patrons as happy as they possibly can. it's really like that here, honest.
you'd be surprised to know how few tech coders there are here...

Re: Shockwave flash and share button |
one minute was all it takes to post a warning that you thought there might be trouble with the new Flash, I do know you work unpaid, you are busy, but you are NOT unique, ARE YOU?
So, one minute to post a warning or message.
I am now thinking, that the truth is, you HAD NOT though about telling people anything, hoping it would be resolved before anybody got badly affected.

That makes you close to 135-years old, Tracey
I hope they pay you well enough, in perks, unlimited downloads of the stock in trade

Re: Shockwave flash and share button |
By the way, I have noticed my library being understaffed, maybe its because they show respect to their patrons.
The other thing is Pooh, I went polite and used your first name once I noticed it, I have been signing off as Peter, yet al the respect you show is to use TT.
Yes, I have noticed there is a shortage of Tech Coders, so I am sadden that all the Archive could get was YOU.
More than once Gerry offered his help, he is immensely more experienced than you.
As i said, it takes just ONE minute to post a notice about issues on the Archive.

Re: Shockwave flash and share button |
Peter,
sorry about using tt -- i was typing a quick response before bed and remembered your handle was Time Traveler but wasn't 100% sure that i was right to recall you had signed "Peter" in prior posts.

Re: Shockwave flash and share button |
You are forgiven Tracy.
I admit I am glad you fixed everything that broke when you went FLASH
Peter
Ps, is it all fixed? Takes just one minute to post and tell us, so how about a "Status of IA" notice?

Re: Shockwave flash and share button |
Peter,
As far as I know, there are no known bugs or issues from my end.
I *did* just push a small suggested change to make it more obvious
not to press the "sample" [share] button (and that instead we mean
to press the [share] button in the upper right corner (near the login)).
other than that, that's it from my end.
(of course, I'm sure that there are some browser/OS combos out there
that could be having troubles by the very nature of javascript -- but
every place I have looked to re-solicit info/reports, etc. I haven't heard
any bugs/issues since checking in the last few days)
(the last major bug was another person had issues that he and i worked through which ultimately proved to be due to his work blocking non-80 ports to the internets).
--tracey, 136 years old now ;-)

Re: Shockwave flash and share button |
Dear Tracey, 136 years old now and counting,
We at least agree about your age too.
Have a great weekend
Peter, 150 and counting down
