Another Support Option

As my first step to making sure the BubbleTimer community gets the great support it deserves after the email SNAFU, I've implemented a live chat support based on technology from a brand new startup, olark.

So far, I've found it to be pretty simple to use on both ends of the conversation. Next time you have any trouble or questions, try it out and let me know what you think (chances are, I will ask!)

The link to use it is down in the footer next to the 866 support number (feel free to use that too):

Link to Support Chat

Once you click it, here is what the start of a chat session looks like:

And then here is what it looks like when we are chatting:

There is a little glitch where if you click the live chat and then close it down you can't open it back up without refreshing the page. I'm going to work with olark to resolve that.

I'm still working through the backlog of support emails. It might take me into the first part of the week to get through them so if you are stil waiting for a response from me, please be patient. I will get through them all.

    Greate this will be better and faster then E-Mails... I hope this will be a sign for other Serivice Agents.

    @Bruce, it's been working out pretty well so far. The customers that have used it seem to be enjoying getting real time support and being able to interact in a more natural way than email. So far I think it's been a good decision.

    I haven't gotten real-time support -- not even close. I left a message on the chat, left two messages in the support forum, and have yet to get a reply. My question is simple -- I have no 15-minute chime in Firefox. I also read that it's not playing for people using Chrome. I'm not about to switch to IE for the chime, but I really need the chime. I am not always right at the computer to view a blinking tab, so the chime is important to me. I hope this product is still being updated. I have my concerns with the response time.
