Site founder - Your best nightmare

I am, at this point, deeply disappointed by the Zetaboards staff. There continues to be an underlying contempt, I believe, directed at complaining ZB admins(like myself) about the lingering technical issues that are plaguing newly converted ZB message boards(like ours). One of the issues, obviously, is the one that prevents an edit of the CSS and Layout in admin cp, which is done when installing a custom theme(skin). Currently, no Zetaboard site that recently converted, and uses server 15, is able to use a custom skin and is forced to display the "default" skin(like I do). I also noticed posts made at the support site that suggest this issue may not even be receiving priority right now to be fixed-considering how many site admins are waiting on this fix I found this revelation galling and, frankly, pathetic. With my own aggravation and total disapproval for ZB staff's handling of the entire conversion process in mind, I am going to start looking into the possibility of using a different web hosting service for Monsterland Forums. I have been told that Zetaboards cannot be converted to another format, e.g. Invision Power(IPB) or vBulletin, two services with outstanding reputations that require payment. I could afford the annual fee for such a service...and would gladly pay it in order to afford myself better customer service. If there is no way to convert ZB to another service Monsterland Forums would have to start over from scratch, as would its members, regarding posts. I'm not sure I would be physically and mentally up for a restart like that but I'm throwing this out there for the members here to read...and comment on if so desired. I'm inclined, at this point, to wait out Brandon, Brian and the rest of the ZB staff's posturing and condescending attitudes, rather than try and go elsewhere. Anyone wanting to comment on this please do so. |
