The problem is, non geeks, who are largely WHO this platform is aimed at, expect it to work, with NORMAL requirements, in legal terms "as is reasonable to expect".
If I was a real geek I would go make my own platform. And to be honest, that is what I am going off to do. Unbelievable I know.
On my fourth attempt, I found a host who DID meet Boonex's minimum requirements and "settings" out of the box, whether i knew that was why see more or not ;-)
BTW there's a bug in admin polls.
Things are too hard to change to make them different to every other boonex user :-(
And so we just end up with everyone trying to be MySpace instead of everyone having a blog. Oh dear :-(
I do genuinely appreciate your input and your need to speak.
But don't let Booonex turn in to MU, where the admins are so in to themselves, they won't answer basic and legitimate questions, even from real geeks, because they think they should KNOW already.
If we knew already, we would probably not want to use MU!
Boonex is a USER platform, not a geek sdk only for geeks.
If the minimum requirement is not the "norm", then boonex need to do something about that!
Either offer it working, or EXPLAIN WTF to do about it.
Just my need to speak too ;-)
Boonex is for users.
I am a user.
I had a hell of a job making it work.
I did get it to work but it cost me way too much time.
That is not a good USER experience.
That is something that boonex need to address unless they only want to appeal to geeks.
But if you don't want to help, why comment?
Keep the noise down.
RTFM does not help any one.
The other 2 comments were helpful and had a direct action solution.
And to answer your question, laziness, stupidity, but mainly TIME.
I expected boonex to save me time, by WFT working out of the box. How stupid am I ;-)
But I eventually got it to work without anyones help and I just don't like it after all that.
But don't destroy your community by being too precious about being a geek.
It's a USER platform. So support your f* users!
If newbies wind you up, just ignore them.
But we were all newbies once.
We are all trying to achieve something and reaching out for help.
If you don't want to help, that is fine. But why make noise?
I'm actually more dismayed by the eventual tech support response I had, than by your RTFM comment.
Bottom line is as a user, rather than a geek, I was prepared to shell out almost 1000 bucks to boonex for this to work.
Not to mention all the 3rd party devs I would have need to pay for add-ons and themes because I am short of time.
But between the fact it didn't work out of the box, them and you, that is a non starter now. Also I don't want to be yet another me too myspace, built on a platform that doesn't support its users
No offence intended.
Just my USER experience.
