I request all members to post bug and error reports at *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/feedback/130640-tdf-bug-reporting-page.html, and encourage others to do the same. it will help keep a central repository of bug tracking for me and make it easier to troubleshoot.

It's also a more descriptive title than this one, so hopefully people will find it easily and know what it's for instead of starting new threads.

Hi guys

I'm evaluating VB4, will let you know soon when we will shift to it. Also, I've found the site loading to be a lot faster, and I experience very few bugs, but I'll look at logs to see what the problem could be. Thanks for the heads up, I'll spend my Saturdays looking into this.

Any volunteers to help me fix it all on Saturdays? I could really use help bug testing and problem solving... we could connect on IRC while I test.

FINALLYYYYYY your here! so where have you been last couple of days?
Yes, the site is little faster today!
there only some ppl experiencing major probs! Good to here that your going to be looking into it & we are moving to VB4!
I can volunteer! just tell me the time!

Niceeeee!
hey, can you first shorten this "Digit Technology Discussion Forum - Tech Forum | Computer Hardware |Mobile Phones | Digital Camera Discussion Forums of India"!
Also we need more mods, there are too much Spam these days! also can you shorten the interval for reporting Spam!

Upgrading to VB4 ( 4.0.6 - it contains bug fixes of version 4 ! ) will be a good thing and it will make the forum more stable.

and
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/feedback/1656-feedback-thinkdigit-com-web-site.html


I presume the that the second is for feedback, but what is the use of the first one

The first one (this one) is for anything under the sun that you want to talk directly to me about. This could be about anything in the magazine (not just the 1st page), the DVDs, suggestions for general improvement, things you'd like to see, and anything to do with Digit that's not "Issue-based". So if it's feedback about the January issue, that goes in the relevant thread... here you could talk to me about my views on something, why does Digit review a certain way, how do we review, how do we choose stories... suggest some stories that you'd like to read, and ask me anything you'd like to...

The second link is for website related issues... suggestions for improvement of thinkdigit.com, telling us if you liked a particular article, etc. (That's thinkdigit.com, not thinkdigit.com/forum, by the way)...

I hope it's clearer now.

I got this email today but it was lying in the spam folder. Has anyone also received it. Is it genuine?

'Dear Ashampoo customer,

We are writing to you concerning an important issue. We regret to tell you that we also detected an unauthorized access to one of our server systems. We assume that the attackers were able to purloin data of customers. Sensitive data such as billing information etc. is not affected by this, because Ashampoo does not store this data.

We summarized all pieces of information concerning this incident for you and would like you to read the following website: Ashampoo® - We Make Software!

Yours sincerely,

Hi, welcome to Digit Forum.

I think there is some restriction for posting new thread. Like you must have minimum 10 posts before you can start a new thread.

 

[skeletor]

You can post a new thread anywhere except the Bazaar section. Bazaar section requires you to have made some posts.

publish testscore with all the nitty grity details on website

you should publish your test scores of reviews products here online on digit website itself. I know you are doing this with consumermate.com but still they are more laptop centric and does not cover all reviews properly.

Lets take the following example:
lets say you reviews the latest android phones a few months back and i just remember you did a review and dont know what models you reviews side by side, so instead of searching for the lost magazine you should publish the results on the website also with the sibling competitors as a whole, this way we know when the review was done and what was the pros and cons

consumermate.com doesn't show when the product was reviewed, the model could have been upgraded of the review could be obsolete.

also benchmarks scores and not published properly in consumermate.com

Hey, just asking, is it possible to increase the size of the pm folder, 100 is too little too less, I think 200 ought to do it, we'll all be very grateful for this.

 

[skeletor]

It's 250 now.

 

[tkin]

It's 250 now.

Oh my, don't know what to say, all hail the king(aka ico)

Please change your courier service from smscouriers. They never update the site to track, and update the wrong information who rec'd the magazine. Like my last months magazine was recd by me. and they updated rec'd by wife. no phone support too.

Ps : I'm still single

 

[rhitwick]

^LOL that was nice

To avoid any more struggle with your lame courier services, I quit. Thank you for not changing it.

PS: If you guys comes up with subscription to iTunes, I will be back as subscriber even if you charge a bit more. Atleast I would get rid of physical copy which never reaches me on time, and when its out for delivery and you call the courier helpdesk the lame aunty says its been delivered. lol
