I have no idea what you mean... really. Not trying to be obtuse, but I really don't understand how my information isn't clear.

Will the post search feature be restored?

In 30 days?

60 days?

90 days?

more than 90 days?

Thanks

Here is how it isn't clear.

1) ATS tells us "someone" was over using the post search function, which over taxed the server.... or some other computer thing (my ignorance).

2) ATS needed to shut down the function to preserve ATS integrity (speed)

3) ATS said the post search function would be re-coded and restored soon.

4) ATS said recoding wouldn't help because the code was as efficient as possible.

5] ATS said "Server mirrors" or something like that... again, " my digital ignorance" prevents me from citing the precise technical crap.

My question is...

When? When does "post search" come back?

Unknown.

I have a conference call scheduled tomorrow with our new tech support/security vendor who will begin to put together a plan. At this point, I don't have enough information to say two-days or two-weeks.

Appreciate the quick response,

Can I, we.... expect a little more chronological precision after tomorrows meeting?

Thanks



2nd try...

Sorry to be a pain.... but now its a "security" issue?

Thought it was technology?

Please clarify.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you for real?

How many different ways does someone have to answer the same question to please you? What gives you the right to be so damned demanding?

I bet you were one of those kids who drove their parent up the wall and around the bend!

How about you just go about your business and let the adults do their jobs?

When the post button comes back we'll throw you a big party and celebrate the return of the mighty magical post button that makes your world go round and gives you a reason to live life and get up in the morning...

Sheesh!!

Why are you so upset about my harmless questions on a minor thread?

reply to post by darkbluesky


I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Could you be more specific?

Thank you.

How exactly are you being a pain?

Why did you feel the need to apologize?

I want to understand.

Please clarify.

You owe us an explanation.

I'm real enough not to use multiple exclamation points (!!!!!!!), "smiley icons" and twenty or more repeat lines of "are we there yet" (for whatever reason.......).

Are you for real?

Thanks for answering my question. Now that I know you are real I'll admit I am as well.

Now about my other questions... How were you being a pain?
Why did you feel the need to apologize?

Why won't you answer these?

Please be specific.

It's important.

no offense, but you may want to cut back on the coffee. thirty or forty "are we there yet"s might have made the point without 'wasting server space'.

I stated my case clearly.

You guys keep moving the target...then when someone ask a few questions (just words)
The "gooles" come in and start to attacking the questioner.

Whats the big deal? Is it a tech issue, a security issue, or an integrity issue?

You know when I finally finish this wine and fall asleep (pass out) I better not dream of that Chelsea avatar.

I hope you do.


Still...

Best of luck, and peace to you.

You know people, it occurs to me every other forum I have seen use an outline by subject, or date, or author. Even if it is older, it still works like a post button feature.

Can't we (I mean the board) agree on using that method? Is it really all that difficult?

You're a "Super Moderator"??? What a terrible example of leadership and moderation you have shown in your past few posts in this thread.

I think the frustration some are feeling can is because of this. You continually ask questions that are answered but the answers you want are not forthcoming because they don't exist. You obviously have a gripe against either ATS or the staff and to be honest, it's tiresome and aggrevating.
