In the questionary for the HoB-Interview in the PCC, I asked Mr B. if the company would be willing to provide technical assistance to get playmodb running again. A lot of company-folks from the DS-departments too use playmodb...
Wondering what the answer will be, if there will be one at all...

Please remember that Heather asked to abstain from any kind of lobbying this cause.  ;) :shhhh:

On a sidenote: I always took playmodb for granted just because it always was there. Out of curiosity I was toying with a few db tables and part lists recently. I am in deep awe about the unfathomable amount of dedication and time that must have gone into the development of playmodb and the collection of the data over the years. Thank you once again for all the work, Heather.  Let's hope there will be (and there must be :prays: :sorrow:) a stable solution even if it will take some time.  :)

I understand that it is up to Heather and I wouldn't count much on the company on this. Since a lot of people are interested in having PlaymoDB back online and also το contribute either financially or technically, there should be a way to make this happen.

Hadn't thought of that at the time I asked it... :-[


What might (perhaps) make that worse:

On a German forum (not KW) someone (a longlasting member of the collectors-community) says he is busy with helping Heather out and providing technical assistance/analysis for the software, and that they've come to the conclusion that not the amount of data on the site is the cause for the malfunctions/not-working searchfunctions, but ... that people from Geobra are the cause!   :o  >:(
Attention: this is just what this person says overthere, it is not (yet) affirmed or dismissed by another source.  Some people have asked him to give further explanation, but he has not responded to that (yet).

Well, if he and Heather are working together, then I'm sure she can handle it.

Hi folks. Not a lot to report - busier than ever but it's because I have so many blessings, so I will not whine. I'm in dialogue with a techie from Playmobil, who has some good ideas and suggestions.  (The problems have nothing to do with Geobra, by the way.) Did some testing, tried a new technique with some success. Things are inching along. But even the techie needs me to spend some time sorting out the mess of files on the webserver, so it's still a slow process. I know it's important to you all. Bear with me.

Thank you for the update!

I'm glad playmobil are helping out.

We really do appreciate all the work you put in to the site - even if we never say thank you enough.

Hadoque, you acted with the best of intentions in asking your question and if Playmobil are helping Heather (as is the case) then it's in their interests to let fans know this, so hopefully your question will be answered.

Heather, many thanks for all the work you have put into playmoDB in the past and your still greater input now for us.

I'll be MORE than happy and grateful if the DB comes back the way it was before-I don't mind asking the DS people a few questions sometimes...Thanks again Heather, for all the work you do for the Playmo-community, we've taken the DB for granted too long.  :)

Glad to hear that Playmobil is getting involved! Hope things get resolved quickly, because without PlaymoDB, I have to rely on Playmobil.com, which, is not nearly as comprehensive as your site! :)
