RE: Designers Forum

[bluemax]

I have to say I am a quite irritated about this whole “designers forum” thing.

The fact that I paid what amounts to 3x times the price ($1,500.00 big clams) for Business Multi-Site and designer costs ($500.00 (small clams)) should give me access to all the information I need, and then some.

Open this forum up to everyone, or is there some sort of “Da Vinci Code” secret society thing going on here.

There are a few quite colourful words I would to describe this decision, none of which can be used here.

Hi Siegfried

Thanks for your message.

The Designers forum isn't meant to be 'ultimate support' - it is just a place where web designers can discuss some of the issues specific to them e.g. designing and implementing sites for clients. The juiciest support happens in the other forums.

Anyway, I've joined you to the forum so you can check it out.

Have a nice weekend.

When i leave school, i want to join the elite too. My poppa says i must work harder though and get my GCSE results first.

I once enquired about wtf goes on in there and was reliably informed its pretty dead and crap. Although they do a weekly goat sacrifice on a Friday night.

PS just colour your colourful chat in, it's cool then.

I hope one day i get access to the poisoned chalice, until that day i will keep trying to hack a way in and fail miserably each time.

Access to the inner circle cannot be bought, it is a birth right...

Or you have to undergo the ultimate initiation....grasshopper, you must upgrade a v6 site to v8.5.1 within 6 months

The designer forum is rarely used. I only use it if I want to post something that I would prefer not indexed by SEs. Such as links to test servers or client sites under development.

There's no special support. If you want questions answered you're better off posting to the public forums.

As it has restricted access it is best used by developers to make reference to clients sites they need assistance with ... it keeps it out of Google and away from the client if they are a member of the forum.

If you want an question answering it is best to post in the open forums. It is most probable there will not be a solution to anything you need in there that is not available in the open forums.

You will see by the lack of posting that goes on in there it is not the best members club in town.

LMFAO, don't they offer the free design service like we get out here in the plebs forum?

I am halfway through trying the 4,345,677,666,789 passwords jont could have....i'm getting bored.

Slacker! All you need is to build a quantum computer via all the spare computer parts you have replaced in the past week, get Norman to write the code and it will then calculate every possible password as soon as you hit the go button. Some people ... just no imagination or determination
