JS online problems

carolinamikeMember

Tried to sign up for the JS online service since soon you won't be able to read Packer stuff on JS web site. Went through the whole thing. I see they charged my credit card, too.

Never got log in info. Call to them got a robot message saying "Due to heavy call volume, please call back later."

ARRRGH!!!!

Wanna get their attention?

If anyone has insider access simply post an insider article here on x4.

I'm certain you'll get their attention

I wouldn't mind paying the price during the football season, but other than that, I don't read enough articles to make it worthwhile

I purchased their draft guide once. They charged me twice. Tried to get a refund. More trouble than it was worth. I will never pay for anything at that site again. Poor customer service. I am in favor of any model that requires folks to pay for the work of others, but they have a duty to the customer too.

Same problems here Mike. I followed JS's e-mail instructions exactly. They state they will e-mail me my "new" account number, yet I have received nothing.

I have foloowed up with multiple e-mails, yet still no response.

RG, it says it's $4.29/month (.99/week)

I put in my zipcode (Virginia to see what offers were available for me. It came up Digital Services only, but then gave me options on when to start my 'Home Delivery', so I just backed out of it. I guess the $4.29/month is reasonable but everything surrounding it seems flakey so I'll wait until they get the bugs out before I reconsider.

Interesting,having to pay for JS Packer news now sucks but what RU going to do,they need the money I guess,I wonder if the articles on the Packers will disappear from the Redzone.org site as well,the GBPG articles should still be there I hope.

Their main problem is that the PressGazette is sufficiently good and satisfyingly cheaper-

mazrimivOh YEAHH!!

FWIW: There are some relatively easy ways to bypass the 20 article limit. All they seem to be doing is using cookies to track how many articles you've opened. Nuke the JSO cookies and you can view as many articles as you want.

"We"-Ka-BongYou ungrateful biscuit eating son of a bitch

if you are a proponent of unethical use of the internet, then yes.

that is a bridge I'm not willing to cross

mazrimivOh YEAHH!!

I'm a paying Packer Insider subscriber who has been blocked from viewing content that has been I paid for through Sep-2012. I received no notification from JSO that this change would be taking place, and received no help from JSO customer support when trying to transfer my prepaid subscription to their new format.

The ethics ship has sailed as far as I'm concerned.

He's not serious mazrimiv. (not certain if you knew that)

Crappy about your sub though.

What does "mazrimiv" mean? I always wanted to change my screen name to Urinal Mint

mazrimivOh YEAHH!!

I knew he wasn't serious, but was not clever enough to come up with a suitable response.

My user name is a bastardization of a character's name in a short story I read years ago. I honestly can't remember the name of the story. At any rate, it's been a convenient user name to use for online accounts since it's always available.

As to the subject at hand, I imagine JSO will come up with a better way to implement their access restrictions soon enough. If not, they can add to their cash flow by firing their entire IT dept since they don't seem to be doing anything anyway.

I read Eye of the World... which is supposedly one of the 'good' WOT books... if people told me they got better from there I still wouldn't continue... but to think it gets worse?? Ewww... I'll content myself to wait for George R R Martin's next long-winded disappointment.

More joy. Reports that the Green Bay Press-Gazette will soon go behind a paywall, as well.

It's inevitable. I would think all news-type sites with any kind of staff will eventually have to go with some kind of subscription model, and I'm fine with that.

JSO finally replied to my request for assistance in converting my current Packers Insider subscription. They informed me that they have no record of any Packers Insider subscriber with my name, address, phone number or email. I responded by attaching the digital receipt of my annual Packers Insider renewal which happens to show the exact name, address, phone number and email they claim to have no record of.

The hits just keep on coming.

Now might be time to share this---I canceled Packer Insider 4 years ago---yet still could log-in to read articles for four years. It took several e-mails and calls to cancel originally. JS customer service is inept, indifferent and about as "service" oriented as the IRS. I signed-up for the on-line two weeks ago, requested verification a week ago and am yet to hear back after two e-mails. Forget about getting through on the phone.. I think the Packers must have out-sourced the stock sales certificates to one of their divisons.
