Sounds like a different department. Different company completely, even! :o Sounds like if someone can't access the internet they should contact their ISP via phone and worry about online stuff when they get their internet back. Sounds like you're just saying something like this to be a smart ass :o

The problem is that nobody knows how to get support...there needs to be links from the website and client.
I'm doing my part (Check signature). I can't do anything about the website though.

The support center can even be enhanced to send emails alerting the poster that they have a new message. The only real problem with this is that guest accounts often are not unique (players can share the same PCID in some cases) so sensitive data might be leaked that way.

I'd rather see an online support center implemented, but unless you're willing to host it yourselves, which would only piss Stefan off, I guess that's not happening.
Well, the problem is Stefan. Our Support Centre has a leak because of Support Trio's software, and now he shoots down every suggestion? It's likely because he's way too security conscious. It doesn't matter if we validate via ServerSide, there's still risk and from my point of view, Stefan is way too security conscious to take "risks".
