UKTS web page

Unread postby buzz456 » Sat Jan 24, 2015 10:25 am

I don't usually get on here to complain and maybe this is just a compliment to Bob about how smoothly this place runs but I'm sure glad this joint isn't as buggy as UKTS. First I log in. Everything OK. Then I search through the totally obscure search programs until I finally find what I am looking for. Then I hit the D/L button and it butt me to login again. This time it says my credentials (which are saved by my browser so one presumes they are the same as before) now says my credentials are incorrect. Soooo I decide maybe it's time at long last to sign up for a premium membership. I go there and it asks me to log in. That fails so I tell them I lost my login details. It says it will send me a e-mail in a few minutes. Apparently a few is different than on this side of the pond. It's now been a hour and no message.

Enough time wasted on them today,
Rant off. !!**sorry**!!

Yep that site is a spaghetti bowl. That happens when things get too big for you to handle. Your helpers come and go and everyone was doing things differently. I found out it is best to log in before you even go exploring other wise you end up going through the frustration you witnessed.

It happens to me too - I now do what Bob says login before I do anything.
It is frustrating! *!sad!*

Don't forget they have separate logins for the forums and for the file library.

No problems for me. UKTS is the best TS2015 site on the planet, and I live 12000 miles away.

It might be for you however I think you find yourself in the minority.

Then I'll add myself to the minority. Log-in takes getting used to, but if you do it at the outset (separately in form and library) it's fine. And with ID and password memorized by the browser, it's a single click - no big deal.

The monitoring is sometimes finicky, but it stops any nonsense or threads losing their way.

I love this forum and library as well, BTW!

It says 10 hours but you are on a very slow server. I logged in at 2:30AM and I think I was number 40 in the que and I had the China Pack by 9pm. That was over 18 hours. It is a big download and I had nothing going on for a quiet Sunday.
