is there a customer service backlog?

[penguin]

when i've emailed customer service in the past, i have usually gotten a pretty fast reply. This time, so far, no reply and no message saying "we've gotten your message". Also, I submitted an application to be an admin on a project - so far, no reply. Is that typical now?

I asked to open a surname project 5 months ago, heard nothing!

I'm surprised you ever got a reply to an email.

There's a backlog on project approvals, but I don't think the backlog is 5 months long -- maybe a month or two. Please email [email protected] to ask about it.

For other Customer Support requests, you should have received an auto-response with your issue # right away. Have you already confirmed that it didn't go into a spam folder?

Elise, perhaps there is a technical glitch? I used the contact us form on the website yesterday and expected to receive something in my inbox to confirm or at least an incident or case number. After I clicked 'send' the form disappeared but I'm not convinced anything was actually sent. I've checked the spam folder in my email account. Nothing. It was really odd.

I know not everyone will use the contact form on the website but for those who are perhaps questions are not actually getting through.

I did finally hear back from customer service. Note I did use the web form also - and did not get a autoreply. so maybe there is a little glitch with that. but the message did get thru, since i did get a response- only took a few days longer than usual.

On the project, i'll email the address you gave. that's a disappointing delay of "a month or two". Sometimes one needs to strike when the iron is hot (and available) and there may be a missed opportunity as a result. Maybe you can adjust the website so it doesn't say that you'll hear back within 5 days? Hard to plan effectively when the estimate is that far off.

Thanks much for reply.

That is the so called "GAP Liaison." It seems she cannot keep up with creating projects for any but her closest friends.

I emailed the groups address as recommended- so far no reply. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
