CSB SUPPORT options
« on: November 21, 2008, 01:09:25 PM »
Over the years Trellix/CSB has had 4 forums:
- Trellix Cafe on the original Trellix website (all data, all posts, all records GONE since 2001)
- GlobalSCAPE CSB/Trellix forum (2001 - closed but available for researching UPDATE: Taken down NOV/2008)
globalscape.com/board/default.asp?b=1
- GlobalSCAPE CSB forum (June 2005 - open for posts) http://forums.globalscape.com
- Samisite Webmaster Community Forum (January 2007 - open for posts)   http://forum.samisite.com

GlobalSCAPE graciously kept our 2nd forum for reference when they changed to a new format.
But eventually all of them will be gone.

Samisite forum was started so we could get some posts going on it before GS decided to clean house. They have passed the promised time period for supporting CSB and could close the CSB forum at any point.  They probably keep it up because it brings people to the GlobalSCAPE site and helps to boost their ranking for Yahoo, Google and others.  To THEIR benefit to have this resource even if it is a dead product.  By expanding it to the other products, they have given life to that forum beyond CSB...the longer it stays up, the better it is for us.

Both the GS tech and sales departments understand the value of the information in these forums. When I considered opening this forum, I had many discussions with them about the forum data. Legally they can NOT release the databases or information to me in bulk.

Kevin (KW) still has his support site at http://www.csbsupport.com/ but does not actively update or respond.

Sammy a lot of people are very happy to have you continuing to help at both sites. But I think the recent closure is a good wake up call for people who haven't' joined here yet and who may just be stopping in to read answers. I hope they at least book mark your site. If you are looking for answers about how to do things with Global Scape Cute Site Builder, this is the place to be.  :yes:
