I didn't say it was too much to ask..... just pointing out a bit of human nature.

Yes i agree. I will calm. It did irritate me that various posts were made about this issue and no one seemed to respond. Thank you for at least doing that. I do hope it is fixed soon.

stays relevant.
I haven't received any messages from you, or any users regarding the issues you are experiencing. I know only that they are being worked on. It isn't my position here to message you and ask you if you want my help, if you want my help, send me a PM. I'm not hard to find.
Additionally, the mods here do listen to the users, and we do report the things you ask us to... and yes, it's easy to do.
You seem kind of cranky for someone who smokes pot.

Ok i havent smoked in some time. One of my plants is days away but i am waiting til the time is right. I didnt send you a PM. I used the contact button up near "my RIU" as thats what i thought it was for. As i said i love the site and also the upgrades are good just needs sorting. Another thing thats not working is the PM's. Is this fixed yet?

Just to clear something up. I am not the IT bloke. That was a post above mine originally. I am happy to follow the new format but maybe it would have been an intelligent idea for those that run this site to make a sticky that details how it can all be interlinked. I have looked around and all i can see is the "blog this post button" on each post.
Okay I've now had my first cup of coffee so my IT brain has kicked in.
I'm not sure what Admin's full time gig is. For all we know it's his hobby and he has another job that brings in the paycheck. If that's the case, we just have to all sit back and go with the flow because he has to take care of his family first, no matter how bad this place gets.
However, if this site is his paying gig, then he probably needs to tighten up his act a bit and think about his "users" which in my office we call "customers" (yes it sucks having a developer come up to me to remind me of that
). So here's what I have to do before I roll out a major upgrade, let's say it's Microsoft Exchange:
1. Notify your "customers", "WE ARE ROLLING OUT A MAJOR UPGRADE IN ONE MONTH"
2. Notify your "customers", "REMINDER - We are rolling out a major upgrade to version x.xxx in two weeks. The system will be down from x
x to xx. Please make sure you save all of your information and sign out. More information to come"
3. Notify your "customers", "WE HAVE SET UP A BETA SITE OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES. Please check it out."
4. Notify your "customers", "REMINDER. Tomorrow we will be upgrading to version x.xxx starting at xx. We plan on being down until xx. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you"
Of course I have to do all the work above to make it happen.
Remember. Keep the customer informed. Especially customers who are already on the brink of confusion.
Oh and last thing, when it does fall apart for a bit. Take 5 minutes, list all the things you know are going wrong and post them up in a place so we all know what you are working on, and when you hope to have it done. That way we stop asking and you have more time (in peace) to get things done.
Keep your chin up dude, I feel for you.
peace
PS. Having said all of the above, if Admin did do all of those things, then it just goes to show how "confused" I am.
Not trying to make waves, just trying to help everyone understand the dynamics going on.
