ISP DIRECT to member support

Is Cox Communications a part of this or not? They aren't listed but I know many of their "official" posters frequent the Cox forums.

I didn't know where to post this question so please move to a more correct forum.

The "DIRECT" forums are a mixed blessing. They provide a place where users can provide information yet have that remain private. But the downside is that the solution to their problem often remains private instead of being out there for others with similar problems to see.

If Cox folk are managing to use public forums, with PMs where private information is exchanged, then IMO you are probably better off keeping it that way.

I found this in their FAQs:

»Cox HSI Forum FAQ »Who are the authorized Cox employees that provide support on this forum?

But it doesn't look like they have a direct forum.

That's something that's always bothered me.
We have our OOL direct forum that a person can READ the original post, but can't post to OR read the solution. Sometimes I see things there that I would either like to comment on, or read solutions on, (usually not important enough to post a separate post about), but I'm curious as to the outcome....

You can't read an original post if it's not yours only thread titles.

The direct forums aren't meant for people to comment on or read their solutions. They are for sharing private information with the techs to get their issues resolved.

reply to Maccawolf
The Direct forums are intended as a more convenient way of communicating private information between customer and tech than IM's are. You can still start any topic you want in the public forum.
