Why No Responses from Forums and Web Forms Minimize

Notice Regarding Communication Breakdown
On Oct 27, 2008 one of our users brought to our attention that the forums were not being tended to. 
Here's an explanation of what happened.   Somewhere around the August timeframe, we stopped receiving email notifications from web forms and the forums when new posts were made.   Since the majority of all support requests come to us directly through emails to support@gulf-technology.com or through Snowcovered and the DNN Marketplace, we only check in on the forums when those notifications instructed us a post was made.   Since the forums are so low-use, we haven't made an effort to keep track of them and should have noticed the lack of notifications and to that end, please accept our apologies.   

Ironic that as a result of trying to provide a number of flexible communication methods for making requests in order to keep up quality of service, one of those communication methods failed completely when our DNN portal stopped relaying messages through our web host's SMTP server.

We've since moved the email system to use gmail's SMTP server and will commence testing it as a more viable solution over the next few days as we work through this backlog of requests.  

Just to be clear, support and further development of our modules has been and will continue for the foreseeable future.  In fact, we have a number of exciting features coming very soon. We've continued to support and provide upgrades for all existing customers and will continue to do so.

File Sharing by User Groups? - Is anyone there?

I have a customer that has been waiting to use file sharing limited to user groups for the last year.  In February, I was told this functionality would be available within 30-45 days.  In August, I again posted to the forums looking for an update.  I received no response.  Is anyone supporting this product?

This was supposed to be a reply and not a new message but oh well.....

It doesn't appear that anyone cares ones the sales is made. I'm stuck myself with this module, customer complaining, and I can't seem to get it to do what I need.... I purchased this through Snowcovered and I got no response from them either..... I guess we are all on our own!

This absolutely isn't the case.  In the first two years of this module being released, no one used the forums.  Everyone used Snowcovered or direct email, so that's where the support effort was focused.

DNN was (supposed) email notify me on posts but hasn't been.  Certainly, I nor my business partner frequented a forum that no one was using, we were counting on the DNN forum module to not just magically stop emailing us one day.    If you didn't have a response within a reasonable amount of time,  the logical next step would have been to email support@gulf-technology.com as we continue to not only continue to support the module but make upgrades and changes to it, keeping all upgrades free.

I am sorry that these have gone unanswered and certainly it wasn't our intention.  Still, I can't help but mention that we handle dozens of support requests every week through direct email and the snowcovered support mechanisms, so support and development certainly hasn't stopped.
