Welding Web Down?

[mrmikey]

I'm willing to wait and see if things get sorted out with WW and something works eventually.

I used to visit there multiple times a day, it was easy to navigate, well laid out, pics would work etc., now....it's a POS unfortunately. I check in once a week maybe and that's it, even when I do, I don't go past the first page.. Funny, same as MTF, that was a good layout 'till they 'upgraded', now I hardly ever visit there.
To me TBN has the best layout, good colors, not a bunch or extraneous crap and fluff that does absolutely nothing, very easy to navigate and so on. Don't ever change....please ..................Mike

Same here for me with MTF and GTT. They 'upgraded' and the new interface is all sorts of disaster. Now I barely use them. How long until TBN gets 'upgraded' unwillingly too? :-(

It's still a mess.

Yesterday I added a post about a 30% discount / 9 items coupon, to the HF forum. My thread about that is a big mess. My posts have links that go nowhere. Then with no preview function and no ability to edit a clunky post, what should have been two clean and elegant posts got to 8 jumbled, confusing posts. Sufficient information got posted to be useful, finally, but that thread is ugly.

It’s a mess alright. Full of glitches.

Unable to edit or cancel. I can quote using iPad but the option isn’t even displayed on iPhone.

I finally figured out a workaround to post photos but it is a nightmare getting them in order.

So I shouldn't expect that my attempt to register will ever work or be acknowledged by the admins there?

All too often, when an entity claims it's making changes "to serve you better" their service seems to get worse.

There is a thread in the Support subforum where Minn Dave posted a reply from the guy trying to make it all work. As of a day or two ago he was still waiting for some gigantic backup file to be delivered so he could restore the site. It appears that what you are seeing for now is temporary, but yes it is very crappy as is. I'll wait...

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure they'll get it sorted out.

That's still the general understanding. Tech guy is going to fix the HVAC website and WeldingWeb once the stuff he needs shows up.
Which will be great, the current state of the website is pretty basic and not easy for the user.

Hopefully Tapatalk functionality is on his radar.

Did it ever become clear who now owns WW? It sounds like it was a orphan for a while.

I still would like to see Muhammad buy it and run it as smoothly as TBN runs.
