This is the most useful site for web hosting issues I have ever found. I have wasted a lot of time (and consequently yet more time and also money later) following the advice of other supposedly unbiased web hosting reviews. About.com offers real reviews from real people; as far as I know it is unique in that respect. There is also a wealth of down-to-earth useful information on web site creation. I really regret not having stumbled on this site earlier. I'm bookmarking this site for sure!
For many years I have used Paypal without problem. That continued when Paypal and eBay split. But today, when I had to pay some eBay invoices, I was forced to go through About.com. Some years ago About.com Hijacked my search engine, Internet Explore, (maybe I made a mistake), but I couldn't rid of it so I switched to Google. A lot of people were complaining at the time. I really don't want this company to have my passwords.
I read the article, I read the comments, and I decided to add my comment. It asked me to sign up to leave a comment. I did! It gave me a box to write my comment in. I did!
After I spent 15 minutes thinking and typing, I hit the "Say It" button at the bottom. It told me "Sorry this article is closed to comments." and my comment disappeared. I couldn't even copy it to put somewhere else after all the work and thought I put into it. It was just gone!
Thanks About.com for wasting my time. Why didn't you just put a notice that no comments were allowed on that article any longer! Since comments were allowed just recently, my mind reading abilities failed to detect that the box for comments was just for looks.
