(S)lack of support from Doobox!!
Doobox is trying to use Slack for support.
I find it impossible to navigate and very intrusive.
Install this, activate that…I just want an answer!

I really don’t like Slack either. I don’t find it intuitive and don’t like the way you have to have multiple sign ons for different channels. Bah. However, to get support from a dev you have to use their chosen means of communicating and if @Doobox uses Slack and you want to use their products, I guess you have to do the same. Unless someone here can help?

P.S. There is a support form on the Doobox website…

Hi there,
I’v just found your support ticket, you sent yesterday at 4:45 GMT. (25 hours ago now).
Your message:
“What happened to Eternity stack?”
I can’t always reply to support as quickly as I’d like to. Often I reply within seconds if I’m at the Mac. But often it may be a couple of days. I’m a busy boy (Developing is no longer my sole profession).
Firstly:
Slack is not our support channel. Email submitted from the support page is.
Slack was setup a few years ago, as an alternative option to find help while you wait for a support reply.
The auto response mail you receive when submitting a support request states that:
“What not try our slack channel while you wait”.
In the hope that like minded Members of our Slack channel could help each other out.
It’s stagnant though, and I will likely lose it ASAP.
WHAT I DON’T APPRECIATE THOUGH IS:
Receiving another email less than 24 hours from your support ticked yesterday (“What happened to Eternity stack?”), raising threats of a forum visit to slate Doobox unless you are answered immediately.
Just 15 minutes before you came here to , and I quote “bitch”, you emailed:
“Please respond to my email!
Next step is to go the forum and bitch…a lot!!”
Please correct me if I’m missing something here, but to sum up:
-
You sent a vague support ticked less than 24 hours before this post:
“What happened to Eternity stack?”
How should I know what your issue is from that message when I got to it? -
You don’t receive a response for 22.5 hours, and you come to the forum in an attempt to hurt my business.?
PLEASE: If you have an issue that you think is related directly to one of our stacks. From our support page, submit a request, with some detail that will give me at least some clue how I can possibly help you.
And DO expect NOT to be answered within the hour.

I’ve always found Gary to be very helpful, once I had a problem bought a stack from Doobox didn’t quite do what I wanted yet within a day of asking for help Gary not only helped but did a few updates to make my solution not only do what I wanted but more besides. We’re all busy but I have always found Gary brilliant in helping out! Please try to be patient!

Trumpy behaviour. Some clients think, when they bought the Stack the eveloper is included.

Yikes! Please remind me to never become a developer, lol.
I have bought stuff off Gary for many years now. I have never had issues with his support either.

Doobox stacks are some of my favorites. Always get good help from Gary when needed. Thanks Gary.

I think this thread title is unfair on @doobox
Just my experience but I’ve bought over 20 individual stacks from him over the years and have never had a problem communicating.
On the very few occasions I had a question or problem he replied very quickly when I contacted him via his Support page. He’s a good developer and I’d recommend the stacks he sells.
