Answerbank and Webuser Magazine

[AB Editor]

Dear AnswerBankers,

I hope you are well on what is, in our part of the world, a grey and dreary day.

As you may remember we had the good fortune to be reviewed in Webuser Magazine:

and a close up: http://i965.photobuck...6/SpodoC/IMG_0002.jpg

For those who didn't notice it, yes, it does seem like foul play is afoot!

It was brought to my attention here:

So I got in to contact with the very kind people at Webuser. It seems to be a semi mysterious mix-up. For some reason their questions didn't enter the system, and thus received no responses.

Webuser are going to return and give us a review in a future issue. I'll let you know when they're coming round so we can all put some coffee on, bake some bread and take our curlers out.

I just wanted to let you know that it was meant well and Webuser weren't up to any funny business!

All the best

I hope they'll publish an apology. I, for one, will not buy another issue of their magazine again until they do.

what's it called again? ;o)

[ChuckFickens]

I'm not taking my curlers out for anybody!

(I will try and answer sensibly anything they put in tech though)

[sara3]

fair enough, and if they ask after the Theft Act 1968.. I'll do my best.

[AB Editor]

Thanks Chuck! We'll need everyone to be on form. Like the ultimate pub quiz team.

[AB Editor]

Is that an area of personal interest Sara?

[mccfluff]

it called you unattractive

how rude, or p'raps chuck still had his curlers in when they first visited......

[sara3]

well, my specialist subject would be the Social Security Administration Act 1992.

I'm a blast at parties.

[AB Editor]

Maybe that was it MccFluff? I do think we need a spruce-up around here though.

[SpodoCommodo]

How much are you going to pay me for use of my pics?

[mccfluff]

i guess i'd better get dressed :-(

[AB Editor]

SpodoCommodo, not sure what we could give you. I have half a packet of Rolos on my desk, if you fancy that?

I hope you didn't accept that lame excuse.

Thousands of questions are posted every week, and the best they can come up with is - for some reason the questions didn't appear.

It is not as if it is difficult, and you would assume a magazine called WebUser would be able to master the very simple process of posting a question.

Looks more like they didn't bother to do the research.

[SpodoCommodo]

I'll be happy with the gold paper, it's always fun to roll it up into a ball. Thanks.

[AB Editor]

Dear Gromit.

It seems they believe they had signed up, but in fact, hadn't. We have some "sign-in failure" data which shows a user using the password "webuser" (for an account they did not own). Also searches show that research was done to a degree.

They've offered us a review in compensation. I believe this to be fair.

Spare Ed

[AB Editor]

Okay Spodo, It will be in the post.

Spare Ed

[ummmm]

It'll be like ofsted coming...

[vivandorron]

I am sorry dear Ed, but I am lost by your thread;
And feel that perhaps the Gnome, is in need of a care home.

Ron.

[ummmm]

Where have the other answers gone? *sigh*
