The return of CT !

Firstly may I say that I  am delighted that CT is back and appears a tad fitter than the earlier malaise which ultimately closed it down.

But, - Like so many  other members, in the period it was down  I had crossed over to the other side, - and gradually got used to it.  The real plus factor being that my Apple Mac auto spell check worked with it and it also had a PM facility.

But I still harked back to this CT forum, and for many weeks constantly checked to see if it had returned, but with no luck, and In the end I just gave up trying.

So it was only a couple of days ago that whilst logged into the CC for another service, that I pressed the CT button and discovered that it was back.   Allbeit as far as I can establish, still pretty well unchanged and with none of the serious problems like no PM facility resolved.

But why was there no attempt to contact previously regular contributors to say that it was back?

Sadly that failure re- enforces the impression that the members are un appreciated!

    We thought you were in a period of self imposed Purdah so if such a scheme was in place how would anyone know that you wanted to knowWink

    Seriously, in my view its up to members to check the Club Together Homepage for updates on any outages and its so easy without  involving more systems. We would also have an issue with some members thinking such mails were SPAM so I expect the Club could not win?

    Freudian Slip David..... Maybe you meant outages, but on here they rapidly become outrages......grrrrrr. 

    Edit Whoops, corrected now, David

    I believe that calling an Apple Mac a 'pc' is a capital offence in some parts of California, TF  Wink

    Davidklyne,

    David I do accept what you said, and I did constantly re check for a very long time, but eventually after it had been off for so long I guess I just gave up.  Nevertheless I am really pleased it is back now.  It certainly seems more robust.

    I guess my only real disappontment is that given it was off for so long, the opportunity was not taken to upgrade to a system that facilitated PM's etc.  Oh well perhaps one day,  - but I guess that we'd better not hold our breath!

    Dont think you missed much during your absence TF . Probably the only thing that had changed was that there are fewer of the long time members left who enjoy a laugh and a bit of humour..

    Not sure I recognise the description of events in the OP.

    CT was out a while ago but has been back for some time now.

    Cheers
