Has help.com run out of rubber bands and Silly Putty?
Or did someone forget to feed the squirrels that power the server? Anyone else having trouble with posts not scrolling? After every reply I send, I have to reload the page in order to see it. I’d throw a rock (or Iraq) at my computer, but I don’t think that would help.

You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
Helpy disabled that feature
Nah, it’s the site.
*sigh*
How would throwing a rock at Iraq help? lol
Uhm… that has been going on for a while now =/ And yeah, its horrible, but I kind of got used to it. And btw, niceeeee avatar ^^
You’re ******** me! That’s like draining all blood out of a patient to keep him/her from bleeding.

I meant throw a rock at my computer or throw Iraq at my computer. Just a bad pun.
Because well i don’t know if you notice but the site is faster a little, that’s why.
Also, there is no new site now, nothing new will happen but more ADS
I don’t mind more ads. There is space, but that refresh thing is quite annoying. Especially on the main page.
-sigh-

What it means is that members have to click LOTS more. Are they going to try and pass this off as increased page views or something? It’s seriously the worst idea I have seen since.. well I can’t think of anything retarded enough to compare it with.
The only thing worse that could be done is to sell the place to the 700 Club.

hey well just as long as this site is still here, i’m willing to click away, besides i’ve pretty much gotten used to all the broke sh*t. However, it is annoying to have to refresh just to see a reply. But i don’t know, it Is faster so, the plan worked

Why would you say something like that!!! D:
Helpy, when and if you read this post, I don’t mean to by hyper-critical. I realize you’re dealing with a lack of capital budget and are trying to keep the site from lagging. But auto-scrolling of posts was one of the few (possibly the main) advantage this site had over other forums. If auto-scrolling of posts is gone, that’s a really big loss.
you know I see 700 Club, late at night on Family Channel, that old man really really scares me, something about him just gives me the willies

The 700 Club was just an example; nothing like that is in the works. I know there are lots of people who enjoy it, and that it’s founders are involved in many charitable projects. I just have an aversion to televangelists or anyone who makes vast sums of money from religion. And I think it would be a mistake for help.com to be run by any particular religious group. As it is now, this place is open to people of all faiths.
The minor toil has already instilled itself into my fingers. It only took about 1 week to accomplish this proficiency.
yes sans, im sorry. the bands have stopped winding and the putty has stopped sticking. Not even duct tape can save it now.
RIP Help.com

i’m not sure i follow, but i really think many things were better before the big transition, as a matter of fact to me it went down rather than up :( i miss the old stuff; old chat and not having these technical kinks.

I have to many jobs already, today I noticed the problems, it is pretty sucky to disable such an important function.

I’m not really a fan of the 700 Club, I was saying I’d be sad if Help was sold to any organization like that :P

Or like cutting your childs legs off to keep them from running away.
Or like removing automatic loading of new replies on posts to make the site unnoticeably faster!
Oh, wait…
At first i thought the site was just slow so hit the refresh everytime i reply to a post. But bang, it is the same every day. Is this site going improve or what?

Yeah! I agree!
Bring back the original!
Mine is the same way.. I just close the screen and go back to the home page and let the “green notice bar” alert me that another user has added a reply.

Some people are missing the humor gene. Very funny pun.
This is annoying the hell out of me also. The crap we have to get used to eh!
well as much i like his site its pushing some buttons, and not in a good way. it is beyond annoying. i can’t even seem to get new post unless i have to keep clicking with the “help me with: so and so” beneath the names or invites. i think they need to kinda redo this site or well not to change it i like it as is
lol I guess No one is listening to me
The feature of live update was removed to make the site a little faster by helpy
there was a meeting monday
there will be no new site and nothing new on the old site

the live update should have been subject of a vote, and not decided by the selected few
Uh, vote for what, helpy is the admin and has the right to do whatever his boss tell’s him to do
and who is this “selected few” your talking about exactly
….
hmn is helpy a real person?
who’s d boss btw?

i’d like to know whose boss also, i mean we should have a say so also
http://help.com/user/294044-helpmod this guy is the boss
and as far as i know no one “here” does anything but him, i have no idea who his bosses are he’s the one who runs the website and get’s paid, not me
we can give him suggestion’s but it doesn’t mean he’ll do it, he has to follow rules from his boss, lol you can try, good luck with that
the only thing that will change supposedly is MORE ADS

yah. it could be subject for a vote. i love d site b4, now i feel that this is a creepy site. we users here are like in an aquarium where our every detail, every movement is known by the Gods.
i only know one God though. Jesus. others are feeling “Gods”
It never has been a “vote” and probably never will be

I think they just don’t know HOW to fix it, so they try stuff that makes it stooopider. Lame. Very lame.
I think it’s just proof that hatred can cause problems. People hate and complain about parts of the site until it breaks. Then we all look at it and say, “Yep, it’s broken, how stupid.”
people are forgetting whatt’s important
that the stupid broken site is still here
¤¤ Đani ¤¤ wrote:

BUT.. you have to keep in mind…. because the broken site is BROKEN… the good helpers are not… and that is the sad part!!
and it will stay broken coz a certain someone doesn’t know how to fix it
sans, i agree… this site use to keep me here for HOURS every day.. it was a home away from home for me.. i actually think this place kept me ’sane’ lmfao…
but since the downfall of all the stuff that keeps going wrong on the site every time we blink, it is just a big fat turn off…
i do try to come on and answer all my invites because those that i have become friends with who want my help, i do want to keep helping… but it is a shame that its no longer like it once was…. it just doesnt peak my interests like it once did. and that is a shame :( because this site is losing a lot of great members that it once use to hold.
¤¤ Đani ¤¤ wrote:

totally agree… and that is why we need someone who knows what the hell they are doing before this site which is a great asset goes belly up and there is no longer a help place for those who really could use a place to escape too when they need it!!!
The kind of puzzling thing is, why don’t they get someone who KNOWS HOW to fix it, and who CARES? That shouldn’t be so hard to find …
because they don’t care, all they care about is people clicking ads to bring in money (just a guess)

You have to pay more for someone who’s qualified.
wonder what they were paying the guys that used to make it work right?

there are really people who click those stupid things????
Apparently lol the site is still bringing in money to stay here

hahahahahahaha.. thats too funny.. lol… i thought that just the traffic alone from being on the site itself brought them money.. not the links.. hhmmm.. weird..
The traffic is what costs them money, especially all the regulars who’d rarely be silly enough to click an advertisement. Whatever, like someone said, there’s still something good.

We’re like the Bozo’s who spend hours browsing in a shop but never buy anything. We use up electricity and let the air conditioning out. And then there’s people like Dani, Sophie and Samm who sweep up the messes.
