The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
On the 12th Feb I updated my support ticket regarding the on-going problems, but the last response I've received was from the 7th Feb?
In case your email responses are going missing could you PLEASE provide an update here?
Thanks.
As GWD has already said some updates/ feedback would be really nice and the status page reflecting the current situation would be appreciated

Glad to hear you are treating this seriously; perhaps you could update your 'Status' page which still reads:
We are pleased to advise that there are no current faults.
I tell all my clients to look there first when they suspect a service problem, this has been going on for some weeks and has never made an appearance?

I can assure you Kev, and everyone else, we are still urgently looking into this.
We do not take any problems on our servers lightly, especially not ones that affect so many users on such a large scale. We have already lost numerous customers through this, so we have no intention on letting this run on any longer than is possible.

I tried my forms yesterday, SERVER 0 is the one causing the biggest problem for me its had no forms now for about a week! others are varying between 1 day and 4 days! and yet 1 yesterday returned a form in 5mins!! then back to 29hours for the next message, why O why does this forum exist if they (Freeola) choose to ignore it all the time!? and if as the status page says "all systems are perfect" how come they have not got time to look here for problems, or as they are aware of it why dont they have the time to cgase it up?
Mr Grumpy today :-(
