Tech, why is your website so useless

People say to me, why is your website so crappy. It falls over all the time, and pages take ages to load. I say to them it's because it is built out of brown paper and string on account of how that Justine and Carrie have spent all the money on biscuits instead of servers and staff.

NOT REALLY, but we are aware that things have been a bit shall we say fragile of late. Steps Are Being Taken (TM) and we hope to be able to put in an enhancement next week to help. It would be sooner but there's a bit of convoluted work involved, things to configure and all that. So, sorry things have been a pain lately, but we are working on it, honest.

Who's been saying that? Send them to me...

EmmaNess · 30/06/2012 14:04

omg do people really say that about the free website they are graciously allowed to use, purely thanks to the kindness of MNHQ?

How dare they. Send a virus that automatically redirects them to netmums whenever they try to log in.

Still, no idea how Steps will help you, but good luck with that.

Aw, poor Tech. We know you've been working your wee socks off - and those of the 13 pixies too Grin.

spamm, Tech lives (and works) in the USA also!

Sorry if we complain a lot - it's just that we luuurve Mumnset and can't cope without it even for three minutes

Ooh - I came on here to tell the OP off.

Looking forward to not seeing it crash so much.

We can then talk about the 3am UK back-up, which really ruins things for me here in the USA!

Grin I saw the thread heading and was going to come and post 'Oh don't be horrid to Tech, he's clearly had a really stressful time of it.'

It would be great to have it sorted, though. I NEED my daily dose of pointless bickering and shameless voyeurism.

RackandRuin · 29/06/2012 16:56

I came on here to leap to your defence. It's not a crappy site at all, it's fab.

It does go off an awful lot though. Grin

Poor tech...

though it can't take that long to turn it off and on again
