Let's see...who would would "want" to wait any longer?

Is this another of those "only a geek could have invented this" messages?

:(

Is this actually a spam posting?

LOL. No, this is PhotoPost's "wait, please" message every time you do ANYTHING.

Ugh.

I beleive your talking about forward message?

This would not be a bug.

Your free to edit your language file and change that string to say whatever you wish.

It's not the message that's irksome. It's the behavior of the software.

As stated this is not a bug. The forward message has always worked this way and is pretty common in most software.

The forwarded message does appear quite long when PP is searching for results. Wouldn't it be possible to increase speed with Sphinx?

I fixed it with the instructions here;

Support here is very hit or miss. Best user-to-user. Usually you get told to eff off here, in essence, despite the fact that you've handed over good money to these folks. When I go back to teaching in business school, I'm going to use this site in a lesson plan or two.

Chuck mostly replies very fast and will provide for a solution if you ask a specific question.

No dispute. The replies aren't always easy to follow, though. Maybe the guy simply isn't paid enough.

I used to have a hard time here, but found that its possible to get proper support if you use the right way of communication and accept that there will be some misunderstanding. For example your thread about email updates should do well in the mod corner. The title you use in this thread ridicules, instead of just asking for support. I dont think he gets paid to deal with ridicule.

I will take that advice to heart, although I disagree heartily regarding "proper support," for the definition is subjective. One point: Often the support here assumes a level of programming expertise that one would typically NOT expect when providing a software product marketed to the general public. I could call up countless threads, not just my own, to illustrate this point.

Nice point Alfa1. If most people understood the difference between product support and code modification there would be alot mess misunderstanding all around. I know our company policy of not assisting with code modifications might be troublesome for some but this is merely in place because of time constraints. The problem alot of times is when users expect us as a company to tell them how to modify the code to make it work they way they want and not how it is released. Our company has always maintained we provide product support on our code released as it is.

I may at my discretion and any free time I have assist anyone I want to outside product support. Those times are few and far between though since work takes the majority of my time.

great fix... thanks pal and good luck in business school

hehehehe and you lesson plan :D
