Reply To: New SPGB website??
It is the fault of the company supplying the digital goods
It is not anyones fault. The company did the job the job they were paid to do.
It wasn’t their job to do any webdesign.
It was their job to get us up and running again so we could get the Standard out and very importantly save all of the archives.
To recover the files and disinfect them and install a WordPress site.
They saved the data including subscriber info and made it all safe.
They didn’t charge too much or too little.
There is much more to the website than just the forum.
We can do a different design model later in-house for the site but the emphasis is on free, opensource and surveilance free software.
As we are stuck with this one for the time being we’ll have to learn to love its quirks and in my case learn from its quirks.
Some of the stuff you have detailed can be added but all in good time.
There is a Search facility on the site.
Why do we need any of this below?
No ‘Report’ button
You can use the ‘Contact forum admin’ if there is a problem.
No Private messaging
Some members are happy about that
No User List and who is online
Why should there be, is the internet not intrusive enough?
