Scott, you're on the 6th floor :o

every time we look in that forum you've already replied to the threads </BLOCKQUOTE>

You tell me that you will look after the forum and I will happily back out- I was away from the forums for 5 days at the start of April and there was one reply from SI in my absence. I respond in that forum to help others who have not been getting any help in there for months.

If you confirm that SI will cover that forum, I will stop today. </BLOCKQUOTE>

FrazT, going forward, this is something we will be looking at improving and we agree it's something we need to do better with. That falls outside of these testing positions though.

We will however always welcome additional assistance, so thank you for the time you've put in there and hopefully you will continue to do so, even when we do make improvements here. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Neil- thanks for the reply and I was aware that my original post was a bit tongue in cheek about my pet concern. When I contacted Steve Cox early in February, he advised that SI were looking for a dedicated person to monitor the Support forum and my question was asked because of hearing no other news or input in the forum.

I am happy to help up to a point but feel strongly that people who have just got the game and cant get it to work, for whatever reason, are much more deserving of SI support than they currently get.

I therefore look forward with interest to seeing what your plans are.

That's still the case and it will become more obvious over a period of time. The important thing from our side is that we take our time to get the infrastructure right.

It also ties in with our desire to work closer with the community and improve the general atmosphere and vibe across these forums as well as the experience. For example, we will be moving to new forum software over the coming months but these things do take some time to plan properly and put into place.

This has been hinted at since the "These Forums " thread was opened in GQ about 7 months ago ( it is still opened and should now be closed ) so we are all awaiting developmenst with some anticipation. I will watch this space!

Do you need any experience in IT to join?

I was thinking of maybe applying in a couple of years time before I go to uni, but I don't have a great knowledge, just very basic HTML knowledge.

I would like to nominate rcjuk for the role, he is kingly.

Neil Dejyothin

It helps if you are competent with using computers but you don't need any in-depth IT experience for this role.

We provide on-site training and guidance for all software we use for development purposes, so successful applicants will be brought up to speed if they've never used them before.

Rcjuk

Thanks BBB it's glad to know my fans still love me.

I will start straight away for 20k. Cheers.

I am currently in my last year at 6th form and am likely off to university at the end o septemeber and will have exams through june.

Basically i could do from about 8th July - 20th Septemeber sort of time periods, was wondering if it is still worth applying with that much time restriction as i don't want to waste too much of your time.

Also how many places are you offering so i get some idea of my chances here .

Olly Kenney

A lot of the testers we usually get will still be at or about to start Uni and so that won't be a problem.
