Many people do not realize that underestimations of %50 time/ money on a software project is consider a really good estimiation in most circles. underestimates by 100 and 200 % are not untypical. Hey mary didn't they do a parallel run of your back end for testing until they tought they had all the kinks out? That would have been standard procedure ( but of coarse cost more money) ;) </p> http://forums.catholicexchange.com/topic/809#post-13247 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 07:49:47 +0000 mkochan 13247@http://forums.catholicexchange.com/ <p>Obviously the problems that we thought could be fixed in a few days are going to end up taking a few weeks.

We switched to another platform in order to be able to expand the site. But as all of you saw, once the switch was made nothing worked. We brought in a new company of experts to assess the problem and they have concluded that we have to switch back -- that the troubles we are having with this new platform are not fixable.</p> <p>Within a couple of days, you will start to see everything back to the old normal, as it was a couple of weeks ago. We are very sorry that this happened. But we aren't giving up in our determination to expand CE despite the technical set backs we have experienced. </p> http://forums.catholicexchange.com/topic/809#post-13226 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:01:58 +0000 Jakes 13226@http://forums.catholicexchange.com/ <p>Thank you, Mary.

I beg you not to give up on us. We are doing our best to restore complete service while dealing in justice and charity with a fellow Catholic whose promises to us apparently exceeded his abilities. We could all use your prayers.</p> <p>Our editorial staff has spent months working with several teams of writers to bring you new channels with cutting-edge content. With our hearts in our throats we have watched our prospects of bringing that to you in a timely manner evaporate due to technical issues that were not our fault and that we could not do anything about. But the writers with whom we have been working have demonstrated outstanding loyalty to us and they are still willing to work with us -- praise God!</p> <p>I will have further information at this spot tomorrow. </p> http://forums.catholicexchange.com/topic/809#post-13215 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:34:46 +0000 lpioch 13215@http://forums.catholicexchange.com/ <p>Noel,<br /> I'm sharing the same frustrations as you. I figured I would give it another week (when I'll also have a little more time) to pester those up above to figure out a timeline of when things will be fully functioning again.</p> <p>As for being asked your password and more info, you can rest assured it is not phishing. It is the new system CE is putting into place.<br /> I would bet they have not yet tested the system for those not in the US (a real shame).</p> <p>I'm just assuming I needed to learn a little more patience, and hence...God gave me the opportunity to learn. But soon this will get a little crazy. </p> http://forums.catholicexchange.com/topic/809#post-13212 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:26:03 +0000 noelfitz 13212@http://forums.catholicexchange.com/ <p>Recently I find it difficult to use CE.</p> <p>First of all I am concerned about being asked for my password, because I fear phishing.</p> <p>I am asked to update my information. As I do not have a zip code in Ireland, the updated information was not accepted, until I put in a zip code for somewhere in the US.</p> <p>I get the error message 404.</p> <p>I cannot read all messages now.</p> <p>I do not know where new messages are.</p> <p>Would it be posssible to go back to our old way of doing things, or alternatvely could someone please help? </p>
