Don't feel bad I get answers about 8% of the time. I try to help when I can. OTRS sells support so more that likely this is the reason why the developers hardly use this list. They monitor the bug report area more closely because that affects their bottom line $$. They know that no one will pay for a any consultation on a buggy application.

I don't expect or demand anwers, but even a clue would be nice. I also don't expect the answer "immediately". I've waited a more-than-respectable amount of time before reposting. An acknowlegement that there's a problem of some sort in the source would also be nice. I've also noticed that at some point at least 2 other people have posted similar posts at some point -- still with no answers. Simply saying that "The developers are aware that the webmail client is BROKEN." would be sufficient. Ignorance and publicly flaming isn't going to cut it, though. > If you're new to the whole GPL idea, I suggest you do some reading.

Actually, I'm far from new to the GPL idea. I've done plenty of reading. I've checked through the source code and the various mailing list archives. I've thoroughly read the documentation. If I had any answers or clues, I'd follow them. If I though I had an inkling of where (specifically) the issue was, I'd be more detailed in my posts -- which might elicit a useful answer. But, before I pony up $ for paid support, I'd like at least some idea that I will get what I'm paying for. The most basic support plan is $1380/year for support -- which is steep -- especially when this is probably THE ONLY ISSUE I'M GOING TO HAVE WITH THE SOFTWARE! The $1380 includes only 5 service calls per year. That works out to $276.00/service call. And I don't understand what I'd get beyond the 5 support requests, so paying for 5 service requests and only getting 1 isn't worth it. Perhaps someone needs to revisit the pricing model? Or provide more information to demonstrate what I'd be getting for my $1380.00? Were it $100 for a single support call -- one-time-deal -- I'd consider paying it. I might even consider paying $276 for a one-time-call, as steep as that may be. Moreso, because there aren't any issues with my configuration -- I'm not stupid, and I'm a long-time OTRS user -- I call the problem: "the webmail client is broken and buggy." I don't pay for support to fix bugs in the software -- I'll pay for it to fix bugs in my implementation. It should also be noted that I've even built-from-scratch a second copy of OTRS on a different server just to verify that it's the software and not my mail server or anything. Its almost definitely a bug (IMHO). > > The only thing you're getting from this, if anything, are annoyed > fellow users of OTRS. > _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support or consulting for your OTRS system? => http://www.otrs.com/ _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support or consulting for your OTRS system? => http://www.otrs.com/
