Hi at all, this is not a technical post but a "ideologic" post, excuse me if my english is bad but i'm an italian user .
So i use wpmu since october, and when i start to use it the support for wpmu is about zero : there was this forum, and there were many topics, but there were also many mistake about configuration/installation. So, at october, when i decided to set up my site with wpmu, i contacted a person in this forum and after a payment of 30/40 € he have installed wpmu on my server.
So from october to december 2005, wpmu works very good, i had some problems with upload and import system, but all resolved. So in december i decide to upgrade my version of wpmu : the beginning of the problems.
I upgrade the file ecc but many things don't works, htaccess ecc ecc...so at last, after many posts in this forum, mail at the precedent person who had contacted, i resolve the problems and my wpmu is updated and works.
Now i have a 18 december release of wpmu. Two days ago i tried to upgrade to the latest version : the hell !!!
Errors, page don't works, blog don't works ecc ecc .
So, i decided that i use the december release and stop !
But all these words why? Because i think that WPMU is not a good creation, for this reason :
- the support doesn't exist ! or best, the support is only this forum ! and in this forum there are only few users that help others users in some way ..,,,
Wordpress.com continue to release new features and upgrade, but nothing of that is released also for WPMU .
Also in the forum, the developer as Donncha or others don't help the users or solve the problems !
At this point, wpmu isn't a good platform for a "stable" site...is good for experiment ecc, but not for a good site if you don't fill that you will create some code to arrange your site and you will can't upgrading your version of wpmu, because there are many and many problems or difference from your precedent installation !
Wpmu is born in June 2005 right? also, after a year, nothing is changed i think . There are others system better and someone works, as wpmu, with wordpress !
Thanks for the attention, logically, these words are only "a my personal opinion" after a year working with wpmu .
Bye Ste
