LC Server style survey: co-mingle code w/HTML?

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Matthias,

When support tells one that he/she is now responsible
for keeping Wordpress up to date or face the loss of
one’s account, they should at least point out what you
have shared with us.

No one who has not yet installed Wordpress would know
about the automatic upgrade capability.  It is also highly
unlikely that any user would be willing to log into his/her
account every hour of every day just to make sure that
Wordpress is up to date so they don’t lose their account.

What version of LC is currently installed on On-Rev?
It was pretty old the last time I checked.  Perhaps an
option to easily upgrade to the newest version of LC
on On-Rev should be offered?

A lot of people paid a bunch of money for On-Rev,
and then when support at Run-Rev discovered it
was more work than they bargained for, they
outsourced it to other companies.  The first time
it was outsourced, the result wasn’t good.  Things
are better than they were, but there is still room
for improvement.  Whenever a company accepts 
people’s money, that company has an obligation to 
provide better than average service if they want
to stay in business.

If it were up to me to run On-Rev, I would make 
sure that it was always up to date, or offered
easy ways to keep everything up to date.  You’d
never hear me threaten anyone to take away their
account if they didn’t keep some piece of software
up to date.  If that software poses a security risk,
as a good steward, I would take care of that issue
for my clients so they wouldn’t be at risk.

Just my 2 cents for the day.

Thank you for your helpful information about
Wordpress etc.

Cheers,

Rick
