Marshall. At this point, I have:
In this case, it's doubly annoying, because I was actually trying to get LB to help by creating a new skin.
Launch Base may be an awesome tool, but it's worthless if no one can download it.
I strongly suggest you provide an obvious, public download of the latest version asap. Be it that you finally restore your downloads page (which you should anyway) or post a sticky thread you keep updating.
The current situation is unacceptable. I had the patience to go through all these steps, and still came up empty. Do you think a new user is going to do all that? Generic users will click on the download section on your website, see the error, and lose interest. Period. No checking back. No checking the forums. They will just go away.
In addition, the whole business of not having the latest version up at all is silly as well. Especially in the US, many people are still on dial-up. And what if somebody downloads the binary at school or work, 'cause he doesn't have 'net at home for whatever reason? Are these people supposed to use a weeks or months old version, just because they can't live update?
If Launch Base is supposed to have any kind of wider publicity, the attitude towards distributing its binary has to change quickly.
- Tried to get Launch Base from your website. After being with us for several months, your download page still returns an error.
- Checked SVN. You don't seem to have a repository.
- Checked your news forum. Your last announcement is 3 and a half months old, and neither of the two relates to Launch Base.
- Checked the first dozen threads in this forum.
- Did a "find all threads by this user" on you and checked the first dozen posts by you in this forum.
