Kudos to Kerrie

That Darn Kerrie LaGuardia is an Angel

Kerrie LaGuardiaSome of you may have read my distress call the other day about not being able to unsubscribe to blog post comments on two different post.  Twice on different days, I filled out the AR contact form and unlike the old days of ActiveRain, I never got a response.

I spent two days trying to unsubscribe to comments on two different post and no matter what I tried, my email kept getting a flurry of notifications.  It was driving me up a wall.

Desperately I searched for an AR contact number, and again, unlike the old days of AR, there is no contact number to be found ANYWHERE on the AR site.  So I shot an email to ANYWHERE on the AR site.  So I shot an email to BLiz Spear to see if they had a contact number.  No luck there but Bill of BLiz contacted someone else and the phone number they had was no good either.  I ended up getting a recording trying to sell me a condo or something like that.

Enter Kerrie LaGuardia  

I knew this wasn't Kerrie LaGuardia's department but I reached out to her anyway to help me STOP THE MADNESS and within minutes, she unsubscribed me to comments on both blogs and I haven't received a notification from either blogs since. Kerrie YOUR ROCK.

I'm one of those people that believe in going through the chain of command first, so I made my best efforts before going to what I consider the top of our food chain:  The Community Manager. That's a rule of thumb for me.

So What's the Lesson Here

Well for me the lesson is never ever subscribe to comments again.  If I can remember, I'll just check back  on the post and view additional comments as BLiz Spear and Tammy Lankford suggested.

Thanks Kerrie.

Barbara at first I just thought it was my browser but I tried several different browsers.  I won't do that again.  I see you're still rolling out those fantastic post.

Yay, Kerrie to rescue.  I know...it's next to impossible to find a phone # for them.  I think they try to avoid calls.

BTW, another option is to bookmark the post.

Debbie I wouldn't say it's next to impossible, I'd say "it's impossible" to find a phone number.  I totally attribute that to Trulia.  Maybe I'll try the bookmark (and hope I don't get stuck in case I want to unbookmark it).

Hi Charita - I didn't know that the Rainmaker help number has gone missing. That's a shame, and another worrisome sign of changing times. And thanks for the heads up about subscribing to comments - I'll make sure to give that feature a pass.

I have subscribed to comments rather recently and didn't have a problem. I just assumed that the unsubscribing worked but maybe the comments just dropped off instead.

Dick that phone number is MIA BIGGGG time.  I hunted for it like it was no tomorrow.  Debbie Gartner had a good idea though to just bookmark it so I think that is what I'll do from now on.

Debbie that could be true about the comments dropping off.  If you subscribe to a post that you think will be popular, proceed with caution.

You're too kind and such a sweetie to thank me in such a fab way.  I'm glad it was something I was able to help with.  I apologize for the lack of response regarding support and hope our 2015 goals include more of it; maybe some growing staff?!  I don't ever want any Rainer ever thinking we're too busy to help out.

I really appreciated the speed in which you responded Kerrie. That's the kind of care that we are accustomed to in the Rain. Call us spoiled, but we're appreciative and that counts.

I have actually subscribed to comments.  And , then there was the period where we were all subscribed to comments whether we liked it or not.  Kerrie La Guardia  is an angel.  And she can perform miracles whenever she touches something.  Like a fairy godmother, too!
