Apologize for the downtime & delay in Support

Matt — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:55:15 +0000

There has been some major server issues with our web host Vps.net. Magazine3 was down for 12 hours and is still unaccessible from few countries.

They have recovered 98% percent of the sites that were on the server but in that process, there has been some data loss. So if you can’t find your account in members area or if your support ticket is not updated, We apologize for that and please send your emails at sales@magazine3.com

Please bear with us in this situation we can understand your frustration.

Support team will be Unavailable Jan 21 – Feb 2

Matt — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 11:27:14 +0000

Customer support team will be unavailable due to unavoidable circumstances January 21 through February 2. During this unavailability period, customer support will be limited to documentation that comes with the theme.

Our main Support guy (Steve) is having some serious health issues and he is taking leave for the treatment. Since we are a small team we have very limited availability. It will still be possible to send in tickets, but you should not expect any replies. Our team will begin work as usual on Thursday the 2nd of February 2011 (10 AM IST)

Our mail server will remain open to receive your email. We request you to bear with us in this situation we can understand your frustration and your business but your patience is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt Kaludi

Internet connectivity issue fixed & Support team is back to work

Matt — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:12:32 +0000

First, i apologize to all our customers for almost zero support for more than a week. Support team is now back and are working to helping you guys! and i also apologize for not updating the blog for so long.

Here is how it all started, Magazine3 just moved to new office (YAY! Photos coming soon) and everything was under control for like three days and suddenly this broadband company stopped our account for some weird reason. So it took us more than a week to negotiate with them. I (on behalf of everyone at Magazine3) deeply apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused.

God! I hate the cheesy corporate support team guys!

If you are wondering what the hell happened to the new WordPress theme that was supposed to be released on April. The new theme ‘Newspaper Times’ is almost done and will be launched next week. Actually we were collecting ton of customer feedback and trying to add in this theme, Plus the customer support and other stuff takes so much of time. I apologize for the all delays again and i will try my best to keep up with everything on time.3

Yep! I hate these cheesy corporate support team guys (see the photo if you don’t get it!)
