Well...
My problem is I keep looking for a solution to the password problem.

Maybe I'm missing something that I can do to resolve it myself -

But I've wanted one password that works for news/blog/links etc.

Now I paid for in-links and for me to make a site that requires a visitor to login 2x sucks.

I check here every week hoping that there will be news. I've played around hoping a little humor might spring fourth some news...

I have to agree - if no in-portal was mentioned i would have stopped waiting and found some way to do what I need to do.

Since In-link was so well put together I thought in-portal would come about soon enough...

However, the lack of interaction other than in-link support - is very ... well you know.

It would be nice that instead of ignoring all posts that some of you would make it clear what's going on.

As stated above - is it so hard to confirm what features are done?

And in the case of it being canceled or put on a shelf until further notice. - That would suck - but at least I would move on without wondering if in-portal is going to pop-out once I finish setting up an alternative.

In short. Although I do make light of the situation - I am without a doubt - annoyed and angry with the lack of information/honesty of the status.

You can't say you're working on something still and still not be able to show some kind of progress or at least confirm features.

I believe there was something about keeping things under wraps until release to prevent others duplicating. - Let us be honest - confirming a feature that everyone else has is not a threat.

Confirming you're at 80% completion or less is fine even if it takes you a month or more to get to 81% - at least a progress report is better than a dark room.

I constantly have to check myself as I type - because what I want to say wouldn't be readable by children. So in short. This is bull.

Pavel (not the Virtual Pavel) Why don't you step up to the plate and make it clear what we are dealing with.

If you shelved it - fine. Let me know.
If you're working on it - start releasing information.

You don't have to give a release date to provide insight as to where you are and what you are doing.

Everyone is busy - so please don't use the excuse of work - I work 7 days a week as well.

I'll apoligize now is I'm coming off as a rear-end - But I think enough is enough.

Cancelled yes or no?

If not - what is the status?

Thank you for your time.

I'm glad you guys are having fun here (especially RipBud - have you ever considered applying for Saturday Night Live?)

First things first - please don't impersonate any forum member (that includes Intechnic staff) and post messages "pretending" to be someone else. Even if it is meant as a joke. As you can see, I have erased the false PaveI posts and banned the user. Don't make me do this again.

Answering your questions -
1) No, In-portal has not been cancelled. We are continuously working on it.

2) Status: admin completed (spring '03), front end In-link completed (last month), In-newz completed (besides front-end article submissions), currently debugging to ensure Search engine compatibility. In-bulletin (forum) is the next step - judging by the other two modules it will take about a month.

Again, I am not announcing any deadlines, and I don't appreciate the tone and direction of our discussion here. I thought we can make this a civil discussion about an upcoming product, but apparently this is just some "spy game" about how to extract some more information out of Intechnic...

Thanks for the update Pavel. If those modules are working okay and in tandem with each other why not release them? If the other modules can just be plugged in give those wishing to reconstruct or develop web site make a start towards their goals using Intechnic products.

Spy Game! :smile: Do not think bro that is or was anyones intention. People may push the boundaries at times with what they write in their eagerness to take up on what promises to be a good product which without going back into the past they were told they have in their hands a long time ago.

As the team there can only put the time into the product as it is determined for them by outside circumstances the core In-link users are keen to move on as well.

Patience is what we all need as it brings perseverance - but even then like you or Andrew stated, comes a time webmasters of sites must move on.

The update you have given on the progress is great and may we see others to the point where Intechnic make the final announcement for the release of the product.
