Did you get a survey?

[Erik]

I hate to do this, but please let me know if you received a survey from the VC Forum at your registered email address.

I did a mass mailing this weekend but I'm not sure if it worked or not.

Thanks!

No, sorry, I didn't get that Erik.

After a bit of digging I found out what happened, sort-of.

I had upgraded to the latest release of the message board software about two weeks ago and, as of yesterday, there is a bug in that release that is preventing some servers from sending mass mailings.

I'm pretty sure the authors are working on a fix which they'll have out soon.

It's not that big of a deal, thankfully. I'd hate to have to downgrade to the prior version...

Once they do fix the bug, look for some quick questions in your inbox! :)

Sorry, but has the fix been done. I still haven't seen your
questions in relation to this.

Cheers.

I did patch the software and send out a survey on 7/19. I didn't get a whole ton of responses, but I got enough to indicate that they probably did go out to most or all of the folks registered at the time.

Sorry to tell you this, but I might of
accidently deleted it! :-(

Is it possible to e-mail me another
copy, or would be it easier to just
post it into my webpage inbox here.

Think I deleted it thinking it was
one of those thread e-mail replys.

Cheers.

I got and returned my survey. Did you get it Erik?

Yes I did. Thank you very much for the feedback!

For those that didn't get the survey or that lost it after it arrived, I've reproduced it below.

I originally email blasted it rather then posting it here because some users don't visit all that often.

Hello fellow Vintage Computer enthusiasts!

This message is a duplicate of one I sent a week or so ago. The VC Forum has been having email problems so I don't think most people (if any) got this...

I would like to ask for a moment of your time to help me assess the state of the Vintage Computer Forum and to make improvements as needed. Your feedback is very valuable to me and I will take every response and comment into consideration.

Please answer as many or as few of the following questions as you can. For your answers, please use a 1 to 10 scale for ratings (on the questions that ask for them) and add whatever comments you think would be helpful.

1. Rate the ease of use of the forums themselves.
2. Rate the layout of the forums (the different topic and subtopic areas).
3. How important are moderated forums?
4. How well are these forums moderated?
5. What topic areas do you find most valuable or interesting?
6. What topic areas do you find least valuable or interesting?
7. What topic areas would you like to see added?
8. What topic areas would you like to see removed or merged with others?
9. If you visit regularly, what keeps you coming back?
10. If you visit infrequently, what would make you more likely to visit?
11. What other suggestions do you have?

Thank you for your feedback!
