    Support ticket response on weekends...

    Is support open on weekends? I have a fairly critical issue, and no one has responded today.

    thanks.

      I wasn't asking about what 'times' they work. I'm asking if they're in AT ALL on weekends.

      If you know where the support days and times are posted, can you direct me there. Thanks.

          I hadn't forgotten that you're humans.

          It was a simple question to figure out if I need to check my support ticket over the weekend, or wait until monday.

            You can send a support ticket in at any time, it's pretty much 24/7. I think the max wait time they specify is 24 hours, but it's usually much, much sooner, especially since they have staff placed in different parts of the world.
            Congratulations on the death of vBulletin, Internet Brands.

                Not everyone observes Easter. The original question is still valid.

                    No response within the past 24 hours.

                    Well, it's been a full 24 hours since I heard anything from vB support on my ticket, so I paid an outside company to identify and fix the issue.

                    Not really sure what Wayne did (or didn't do) over the past 24 hours, but a response from 'someone' at vB support would have been appreciated - even it to say, "your issue cannot be resolved" or "we're currently looking into this."

                      I normally work 7 days a week but I took a couple of rare days off to visit family over the Easter vacation. We do our best, and honestly I think our best is better than any other online support I've ever gotten (where 2-4 days is much more typical), but sometimes we just are not going to be available 24/7. Sorry.

                        When a staff user is working on your ticket and might be away for whatever reason, that doesn't mean nobody else is online, they're handling their own tickets and new unassigned ones.

                        Only when we notice someone being offline for over 24 hours (Wayne was not gone this whole weekend) or when that user unassigns the ticket is when we take over. To avoid confusion we do not jump into each others tickets. It IS an exception when we have customers wait for an follow up for more than 24 hours.

                        But to answer your questions: Yes, support is provided 24/7/364, it's just impossible to cover every assigned ticket every minute of the day, some staff members tend to sleep for 5 or 6 hours.

                            Yes, you received support within hours and have the matter resolved within hours of starting the ticket.
