That is a post date for my WoW customer support forum; where I added to an unanswered earlier question on that customer support forum.

So far the wait to get an answer, as to either question, involves me having the answer supplied by Jim instead of having the answer provided by the WoW customer support people.

I can say that the old WoW account did secure all my data from loss by hackers.

Thanks Jim,

I went here:

https://www.2checkout.com/va/noauth/forgotten_password

I don't remember any login name. I tried my e-mail address. I could call, and if I do would I be asking them to stop payments sent to WoW?

Your help is needed, I could put this off, or wait until I get a response from WoW, or I could search for a phone number for WoW, or I can get my wife to call the Credit Card company and have them stop payment.

I'm just venting at this point.

I wonder why it is difficult to cancel service? I must be stupid no?

No worries, I'm not trying very hard, my view is more objective and less interested in the drama of the whole thing. Somethings make sense, other things make cents, somethings that don't make sense make sense when cents are factored into the process.

Even then it makes no sense to ignore your customers for too long, what would be the point in that, or would it be a product of some distorted version of economy, ignore them and hope they stay?

I write a lot, don't mind me.

I think I have it: Ignore them so they can't get away?

:whatever:

At this point I would just call 2checkout. They will be able to verify you through the card you used during purchase. They are here in ohio and are used to getting calls from ex wow customers.

Jim,

I went to 2checkout and used their contact e-mail. This is the resonse:

Hello Joe Kelley,

A staff member has replied to your question:

Dear Joe,

Thank you for contacting 2Checkout.com. I will be happy to assist you with this matter, and we do apologize for the delay. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate an order in our system using the email address and or order number that you provided. If you could please provide the first 6 and last 4 digits of the credit card that was used and or billed for this order I will be more than happy to provide a the order information to you. Please DO NOT send the entire credit card number for security reasons. I look forward to helping resolve this issue.

Please feel free to reopen this ticket if you need any additional assistance. We appreciate your patience while we resolve this matter.

For your convenience, our Customer Care Department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Tell us how we're doing! Please take a moment to fill out this 4 question customer satisfaction survey: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB229GKHDDLB4

 

I then checked back at "customer support" for WoWBB and my support questions are still not answered.

If I have to go back into my credit card account data to find which card is paying the WoWBB bill it may be a good idea to simply call the credit card company and stopping the payment, maybe then WoWBB will be inspired to communicate with me?

Jim,

In this month, not even the whole month using UltraBB, my stats include an 2x increase in visitors, 10x increase in Max online (from 5 to 54), and page views almost exceeded the most page views in one month @55,130  (this month is 51,991).

I'm wondering (I guess I could try to register again) if the new program uses the anti-bot login routine (a person has to read numbers or letters), I wonder that since my forum may have a lot of registered bots, in the past, and I wonder if any new members will  be actual human beings.

Unactivated Guests (whatever that means) users: 12175

Registered Members: 11496

I don't expect an answer to this report, it is merely a report.

My curiosity concerns the lack of responses to my forum texts; a natural puzzle for me since I think my forum text is remarkable (otherwise I wouldn't publish remarks about it).

If the cause of so few remarks in the past was a general lack of human beings viewing the forum, the text, the links, etc., then what is the cause now if the increasing number of viewers are human beings?

Some things are just not worth commenting on, I can see that as being a fact.

You might want to just delete the unactivated guests, chances are they are spam. Then from now on you can bet that anyone fresh in that list simply didn't get the mail/entered in a wrong e-mail address/didn't understand what to do when they got the mail. Our captcha style has eliminated everything but humans. Mind you humans can spam also though.

Some of your registered are probably spam also. You can usually tell by the e-mail address.

The lack of responses could mean just about anything.

UltraBB is more internet friendly than the original especially if using the ultra theme. Should score 100% on a w3c test.

Jim

Hi Joe,

I had a look at your post counts:

http://www.power-independence.com/view_user.php?list=1&letter=&sort_by=posts_desc

You have posted 3,421 times yourself, and there have been 18 replies.

Looking at the user IDs I think you can safely assume that the rest (thousands of them!) are all spam bots. You won't get any more of those now that you are on Ultra, assuming you switched on the Captcha in Admin. In fact no-one has joined since August 18th, whereas previously there were dozens every day.

I suggest you prune all users who joined before you moved to Ultra and have never posted anything.

If any of them are genuine they can still read your board as guests and would no doubt re-register if they wished to post.

regards,

Martin.
