FBOT Problems I would like to once again to apologies to everyone affected by the new FBOT problems, it seems like we are not trying to the average user however this is further from the truth. So I would like to shed some light on our situation, firstly in the past we were hosted on a large and popular web host that seemed a good choice at the time, as Feed Mailer grew it seemed the server couldn’t handle the millions of e-mails we were sending out so we were told to move our e-mail service somewhere else. This is the reason for our last downtime, once we had moved we changed the script to better deal with our large requests and the FBOT service worked very well with very few bugs. Now that our site has grown to be huge in the last few months it seems our new host cannot handle with our requests which means our script is crashing and causing the FBOT to fail mid-way through our user list.

I would just like to say on behalf of everyone here at Feed Mailer and JCWEB Europe- Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We are looking forward to the coming year, with a whole host of new developments being launched. As ever, please do keep supporting us.

King regards,
Chris

Hello again, it is I, John Slater. Just want to let everyone know what is happening here because we haven't made much of a noise since last month.

Feed Mailer SE - Version 2 - will be announced in a matter of weeks, this announcement will include a list of features (not all of them) and also some bits and bats you can use to help promote us. We haven't yet announced a release date because we are falling more and more behind.

We are working as hard as possible and we are certainly making some ground with the new version, already the features are coming together very well and they are now at a point where its just a case of making them look nice and making them work smoothly.

On the 17th November 2007 Me & Chris Richardson (Co-Founder) will be attending BarCamp Leeds and will use the event to show off what we have got so far. If you want a sneak peak or you want to learn about some of the new features or just some of the ideas we have then come along, we would love the attention.

Shortly after BarCamp i will personally be announcing some of our features to give the users an idea of what to expect. Then once we are the stage where we can open it to the public (secretly) we will do and people who apply for Beta testing will get an invite.

Meanwhile keep adding feeds, keep inviting friends and also spreading the word. If you do a nice blog post on us then we will personally thank you and link to you on launch day of Feed Mailer SE.

Feel free to contact me about press, media, site or design issues or questions or if you just want a chat. My personal e-mail address is john@feedmailer.net

Thank you. Read More...

Good-Day people. Just a couple of things to announce, the first is that everything is now back to normal and running smoothly. We had to upgrade our servers on Sunday/Monday so everything was down, apart from FBOT.

Secondly today is that we have our very own Facebook Application for you guys to add, its mainly to promote Feed Mailer but it has proven useful to a few people, it basically shows a list of RSS feeds currently added to Feed Mailer. Its a lot like the thing we had on the homepage, only in your Facebook account. Please add it even if you dump it at the bottom it will help us. The link is below.

Good afternoon readers, i would like to apologies to everyone, we are still having a lot of problems, at the moment we are facing problems with FBOT which you are aware of, we are making strong progress with that, we now seem to be facing a problem with the Feed Manager, for some reason people are having trouble adding feeds. This means people are getting annoyed, to these people and to everyone else I would like to say sorry personally.

We are working on a solution hard and fast, this is taking longer than expected because GOD HATES US because with every fix comes another error. We are also aware that the loading speed has decreased a lot, we are also working on this. Read More...

Hello Loyal users, we have been working hard for the last 3 weeks really trying our best to make the fbot work. We are getting there bit by bit but we are not confident that the product is stable, we are very sorry that this has happened and we understand how upset some of users are.

We will be making some well needed changes to the service’s structure in the next few days. As a result the website will be up and down until the problems are fixed. You may also find that you are receiving a few e-mails from the FBOT, this is because of the testing, if you would like your account temporally disabling then e-mail our support team, they will do this for you, then once the entire site is fixed we will re-enable your account.

Hello everyone, we have fixed the bugs that were causing the breakage of FBOT. We have prematurely upgrading to the new version of FBOT (Version 3.0) because of the bugs which we wanted to launch when the new version of Feed Mailer is released.
Any bugs can be sent to support@feedmailer.net Read More...

Support - On 13 Apr 2007 16:26:29 GMT

Over the last 2 weeks the FBOT has been showing signs of struggle and recently stopped sending emails to a mass of people. We have since fixed this bug but still some people are not getting emails. We have therefore shut down the FBOT until further notice to find and fix the bug. Sorry about this, this shouldn't take long. Read More...
