SupportSuite fixes blank Yahoo email problem... finally?Fri, 01 Sep 2006 09:22:57 -0400
After being first reported in April of 2006 (in this forum post), Mahesh Slaria from Kayako told the community how to fix this problem by changing some code (it is not fixed in the current stable build).
For a while now we've had customers with @yahoo.com email addresses complaining about receiving blank emails from our ticket system... after looking at the Kayako forums (we use Kayako support-suite) we found that other Kayako customers were experiencing this as well.
Finally, around 4-5 months later we get a solution:
"Blank email issue is just due to HTML encoding, you can change 'html_encoding' to '7bit' or '8bit' in en-us.php at locale folder of SupportSuite."
Sure enough, we tried it out and it fixed the problem!

"..The
means can be likened to a seed, the end to a tree, and there is just
the same inviolable connection between the means and the end as there
is between the seed and the tree. They say: “Means are, after all,
just means.” I would say: “Means are, after all, everything.”
As the means, so the end.........If we take care of the means, we are
bound to reach the end sooner or later..."

There is a lot of information scattered across the Internet about the
different utilities used for network troubleshooting. Yet, few articles
detail the background processes taking place while using these
utilities. To get a complete and precise idea on how tracing and
troubleshooting
work in a network, this article analyzes the internal working of 3 network
utilities and checks what makes each of them unique.

I've been with
hostgator since around August of 2004. I signed up with a
reseller account to use as hosting for both myself and clients. My problems
began about a year ago with them, sometime in February or March of 2005 when one
of my sites was getting too much traffic. Now, I'm no fool. I understand that
shared hosting oversells and anyone who uses too many resources, even if still
within their quota, gets kicked off. What really shocked me, though, was no
warning. Not even emailing me after they had done it. Nothing, nada. I found out
by a member of the site that was suspended, someone I didn't even know, tracking
down my phone number and calling me.
I went to a dedicated server after that, but I kept my
hostgator account for the
sites that were already hosted on it - about three client sites, as well as this
site right here.
Two days ago I come to post a blog and hmm, I get the suspended page. That's
weird. I check my email - no notices there. I log into their billing system -
nope, account not past due. What the heck? So I go to their online support chat
and ask them what's going on. I'm informed that I haven't paid my invoice. What
invoice? I have no invoice. I check my bank and I see that I in fact have not
paid them since January. But man, I could've swore I put it on automatic pay.
And hey, if there's no invoice, how can I pay anyway?! Isn't this a problem on
their end? They tell me I need to email sales.
Okay... so I email sales. 12 hours later, they email me back and inform me I
have an invoice, charging me all the way back to October. Uhhh? I KNOW I paid in
January, I have it in my bank statement. I check their billing system, and they
don't even have a backlog of that payment. Something really funky is going on
now. Their system is screwed up, but no matter who I talk to (and oh, I've
talked to everyone) nobody seems to know what's going on. Sales doesn't talk to
support, online support doesn't talk to phone support, so who the hell knows.
Strangely enough, while on the phone with a support guy who informed me I just
need to pay the invoice and then dispute it afterwards, I received an email from
a different support person that my account had been reactivated, and thank you
for the payment. Whaaat? Uh, whatever. At this point I'm just going to take what
I can get and run. Now I at least have backups of all my sites and am moving
them.
It's just astounding how bad a service this has been. I even posted on their
forums about it, in their "Customer Review" section, and it gets MOVED to
another section because I can't post a bad customer review simply because I
haven't paid. HELLO. I WANT TO PAY, JUST NOT MORE THAN I OWE. I NEED AN INVOICE.
Other problems I've had? Well, let's see. About a week ago my sites reverted
back a day and I could get no explanation on why. I had JUST looked at my access
logs the day before, happy about a new site that was already getting hits, and
the next day - logs are back to a day before. Weird. I contact online support
(bad idea, since it's always horrible support) and they have no idea. I guess I
imagined things?
UPDATE 4-20-07: Well, they finally just simply decided to take their bogus bonus
from my credit card that was filed with them, despite the fact that it's
incorrect, I didn't approve of the payment, or anything else. I've never seen
such bad service, support in my life. I can't even be bothered to dispute it
it's just so amazingly horrible.
UPDATE 10-18-07: I'm still with them, why? I don't know - so lazy when it comes
to my own websites. Anyway, so a couple days ago I notice my "main" reseller
account, the site is completely missing. Email is no longer working. I log into
Cpanel to see that it appears my whole site has disappeared. Cute!
