    Who would you recommend for Actinic Support?

    Having an unresolvable (to date) technical issue on our current actinic site See:http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=40032 has highlighted our exposure to limited technical support when things go wrong.

    The Actinic Community Forum has saved us time and time again in the past and I am personally very grateful to all the people who have helped us on the forum – but now we have an issue outlined in the link above. A kind forum member outlined above has been good enough to give us some suggestions to investigate this issue, but in carrying out these suggestions we get a fatal actinic error pop up which produces a dmp file which we have forwarded by email to Actinic.

    As we are now 2 to 3 weeks down the road with this issue and still don’t yet have a solution. While realising the email support that Actinic provides seems to be a low priority/level support. Does this really mean if we pay for full actinic cover we will get better support? Experience from other IT support organisations tells us this is not always the case and that it sometimes comes down to the individual in the company you are dealing with, or perhaps there are some actinic partner organisations great at providing actinic support or perhaps there are other suggestions that forum members can suggest to solve our issues. – In these credit crunch days we all have re-evaluate our options.

    Your views and suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Regards

    developed by an actinic approved design partner, but now we are now having to support the site ourselves as the actinic developer does not seem to do Actinic design work anymore and can’t give us a solution to our problem.
    Ive seen this many times TBH - Actinic support will be great for issues that generally relate to standard actinic functions but when "developers" add thier own "bits" then thats when things start to go wrong. Even when I have been given sites like yours to look at its often impossible to work out what they have done and its no great surprise when it all goes wrong.

    My advise is to start again by removing what the developer did and rebuilding

      if you want to support actinic in house then you may find reverting to a standard theme and adding extras yourself will leave you able to support yourself.

      however if you want to keep your current set-up I'd recommend putting out feelers to see if you can find someone to help you on a regular basis with ongoing support.

      You could raise a "quote" thread in the AOB forum or use the Actlance facility to ask for help.
