FAQ

Should I worry about liability if I answer a question?

ENGcom Admin · Created 15 May 2008 · Last reply 15 May 2008

You are responsible for what you post. ENGcom can remove material, and the terms say you must not make misleading claims. Do not present a forum reply as certified advice.

FAQ

What if I disagree with a ranking?

ENGcom Admin · Created 15 May 2008 · Last reply 15 May 2008

Suppliers are told when a ranking arrives and can reply on the mini-site. The reviewer’s name is not shown. Rankings exist so engineers can compare price, delivery, quality and service without a paid listing jumping the queue.

FAQ

How do I cancel a user membership?

ENGcom Admin · Created 15 May 2008 · Last reply 15 May 2008

User registration is free. You can close the account from your profile, or email memberships. Supplier subscriptions are annual and the current site offers a money-back period.

FAQ

How does a supplier pay?

ENGcom Admin · Created 15 May 2008 · Last reply 15 May 2008

The current registration page takes card, and the older copy also mentions phone, fax and mail. This proposal keeps card as the default and leaves an invoice path for accounts departments.

FAQ

How do I change my details?

ENGcom Admin · Created 15 May 2008 · Last reply 15 May 2008

Open Account. Name, company, address, postcode and password recovery question are the same fields as the live edit-profile form.

FAQ

The search is not finding anyone.

ENGcom Admin · Created 15 May 2008 · Last reply 15 May 2008

Drop a filter. Category, industry, field, state and postcode all have to match. Whole-word keyword matching is optional. If the postcode surround is on, results stay near that postcode.

FAQ

Where did my ranking go?

ENGcom Admin · Created 15 May 2008 · Last reply 15 May 2008

On the live site it is stored against the supplier and shown as an average, without your name. In this proposal it is saved on this device so you can see the flow without writing to the old database.
