A problem still exists, two bug reports, and a question...

Awkward, but I can't find an alternative to asking this way...

1. I have an open question regarding geolocation regarding displays and speakers, with help, appreciated, from GarrettDS and others. The problem might be fixed, but never got a promised report from the appropriate party, for a long time. The ticket should still be open.

2. I'm embarrassed to ask, can't find a way to contact anyone directly, so I'm doing it this way. How do I contact someone directly?

3. I marked the question as new, but that didn't work, how do I report that?

4. Tried using the at sign function to cite a user, didn't work at all, how do I report that?

Apologies for doing things this way, but it's the most productive (least unproductive) way I could find. Any help appreciated!

Hey there craignewmark, 

So sorry to hear about the issues that you're still having with this. 
I wanted to hop in here to see if your initial question of geolocation was fixed or not? I know that we have sent this to our engineering team and they will investigate this further but I don't have an ETA on when a fix may come around. 

If you're wanting to contact someone directly you can use this link.

Would you mind @'ing me personally to see if that works? 

 

I look forward to hearing from you. 


Best regards, 

Garrett DS

Hi Craig, 

If you're wanting to speak directly to the engineering team, unfortunately they don't communicate directly to users or customers. Is there another team that you were waiting to hear from? 

 

Please let me know. 

 

Best regards, 

Garrett DS

Garrett, that would be much more effective, but I understand there's a cultural thing there.

The commitment was that I'd hear from someone technical who's part of customer service.

Thanks!

Hi Craig, 

It appears that you have been in contact with someone from our highest tier of support as of November 2nd. If you have any other questions I would suggest emailing them in that email thread again as they would have more details. As their email states, it appears that you are being impacted by a wider issue that we are aware of, and we are rolling out fixes but don't have an exact date. 

 

Again, I would suggest replying back to them with your questions or concerns about getting in contact with someone more technical. 

 

Best regards, 
Garrett DS

Garrett, sorry, haven't heard from anyone technical in these matters...

Garrett, thanks! The problem seems to have been solved, but the commitments made to get back to me with more info haven't been fulfilled, and that's part of the customer service experience. I'd like to find ways to improve that, in any case, it's what I do.  

Let's see if @GarrettDS works, and it appears to in Chrome on a Chromebase, doesn't work in Chrome on Android, so that needs a ticket.

Doesn't looks like that contact link works to connect with a person, but, did I miss it?

Much thanks!

Haven't heard back, and as a customer service rep myself, can't close in good conscience. Want to help, need to do the right thing. Thanks!

Hi Craig, 

Do you have a case ID or anything that we can use? What is it exactly that you are waiting to hear back on?

 

I look forward to hearing from you. 


Best regards,

Garrett, it's in my case files, I put a lot of work into it, please forgive me if I'd like to avoid doing some

of the same work over and over again. Thanks!

Hi there Craig, 

Unfortunately I don't have access to your case files or an account for you which is why it would be best if you provided me with your case ID so that I may take a look into it and pass it to the appropriate team to follow up with you. 

Looking forward to hearing from you. 


Best regards, 

Garrett DS

Thanks so much Craig.

Garrett, I can't find your last response to me, so ...

I'd like to ask again for the promised response to me, but I don't have any way to do that, except by posting here.

I'm guessing you have a better way for me to do that, I'd appreciate the suggestion.

Thanks!

Just replied to this, but it seems to be in the wrong place in this forum.

I responded to your last request, but I don't see it here.

Please confirm that you saw this, or my other response.

Garrett, before closing, should we be sure everything is resolved? I understand the need for closure.

What do I do if I never get that email? Thanks!

Craig Newmark, founder, craigslist
craignewmarkphilanthropies.org

Garrett, I tried to respond to your last inquiry, but couldn't find it online.

I did so, elsewhere in this thread, can't find it, even though the system seemed to accept that response.

Now getting intermittent authorization errors, but I'm hoping this goes through, please confirm.

thanks!
