If NOF had been supportive of its clients I would agree, but the lack of overall support from NOF is shocking. I make my livelihood from doing websites, its not just a hobby! I need the tools to support my clients and when your major supplier just ignores all the requests for information regarding such a key element as responsive design I can understand what drove Thomas to do what he did!
Franko you in fact were the first to bring up the subject on the Forum when Google announced that they were going to downgrade sites that were not mobile friendly! How long ago was that? To date the run of the mill members such as myself have not had an answer from NOF. Maybe a few insiders such as yourself and Mike may be privy to more information covered by a NDA but the rest of us have been screaming for an update from NOF for months. But what have NOF done? Remained absolutely silent! There has been a vague statement that they are working on it for the next release, but no indication of when that is likely to be, yet they continually send out emails trying to get people that have not upgraded to 2015 to do so. Why would anyone want to upgrade to a lame duck product? Especially as there are better products out there at a much better price.
I think the only reason many more of the NOF faithful have not made a change is that like me they have invested a lot of time and energy learning NOF and dread the thought of learning something new. Well I for one took the plunge and found out that learning a new product that has the online Video Tutorials, User Manuel’s and what appears to be an active support department, a piece of cake! I’am over 60 so learning new things does not come easily.
Thomas was trying to help the people on the forum find an answer to a question that NOF was unwilling or unable to answer! Yes promoting an alternative product on the NOF forum is unethical under normal circumstances, but when the frustration levels are as high as they are I for one feel it was justified!
