Time to update the "Useful Fastmail-related links" sticky post

jdmc · 15 Jan 2015, 12:51 AM

With the consolidation of the FM subforums and the move to the Fastmail.com domain, this "sticky" eleven-year-old post is very much in need of updating:

Actually, the header displayed near the top of the page whenever one is viewing this forum…

Quote:

FastMail Forum All posts relating to FastMail.FM should go here: suggestions, comments, requests for help, complaints, technical issues etc.

…also needs to be updated, as it still contains the text "FastMail.FM", and that text hyperlinks to the domain "fastmail.fm".

In addition to the above, the link to the external site-status check at Pingdom.com appears to be broken. The link contained in the "Useful Fastmail-related links" message is currently as follows:

http://www.pingdom.com/reports/lzdx4pr0pdhk/

Following that link redirects to…

http://stats.pingdom.com/lzdx4pr0pdhk

…and displays an error message that reads as follows:

Sorry, couldn’t find the status page

This could be because the account was cancelled, or maybe you slipped over the keyboard while typing the URL?

The correct Pingdom link is http://stats.pingdom.com/w17m1yxzjyin

The correct Pingdom link (found on the FastMail support form) is:

Ah, I see that BritTim beat me to the proverbial punch, haha.

In my opinion, the current sticky HELP - Answers to Common Fastmail Questions is beyond saving. It was last updated about 10 years ago. Most of the items are obsolete, and few of the links still work. It needs deleting and recreating from scratch, or possibly renaming Fastmail Nostalgia with a warning that it no longer applies..

Deleting -yes. But reworking???
The official FM help files are up to date, what's the point of creating another set of 'how to" pages?

There is a collection of fastmail support and resource (YouTube, etc.) at http://www.reddit.com/r/fastmail
