Golly W&H team you still promote this forum in the magazine, but - truly, honestly - you have to accept it doesn't technically work. It's broken....... and that breaks the spirit of the forum too.
You're not a cowboy outfit; if your resources can't work this out perhaps you need to get some experts in; it is solvable, even if drastic technical action/restart required - but surely it can't continue like this when you also promote it so strongly? We're not making this up; it doesn't work!!
If this was a leading edge technical site I'd understand, but it's very standard and in today's market quite simple in what it’s trying to provide. If you want a W&H forum to exist, you surely must do whatever it takes (resource wise and financially) to resolve this performance problem - please?
I fully support what you're trying to promote and build with this forum (many of us do; we love it) but not your response to these technical problems and the longevity of getting them resolved.
Yours in anticipation (again!)
