10101010 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Anyone else use this service ? it's gone offline and the 'support email' [email protected] just gave me a bounce back.... Does anyone have another contact for Carl Thomas the owner ? Thanks in advance.....
NokiX Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Looks like the domains DNS is no longer being served at all which would explain why their email is not working. Do they have a twitter or facebook at all since that would be the best bet with this type of issue.
Tesla Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The site worked yesterday, google have a cached version of it...
swiftysw1 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Yes.. BOB was alive yesterday.. I have emailed and tweeded them.. NOT that they have used Twitter since 2013!

quiet_andy Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) We've been unable to connect since first thing this morning. Does anyone know of any alternatives, no doubt I'll have to move to another system as of yesterday. Edited October 13, 2015 by quiet_andy
NokiX Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Looks to be back online now. I assume it was a DNS/Name server related issue.
10101010 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 Hopefully , he's reading this thread, thanks for letting me know.
swiftysw1 Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 *** An email Reply from Tom *** All sorted now, really sorry our web provider had to rebuild some stuff. Sorry it took so long, and also the delay in relay it effected our email too! Thanks Tom
10101010 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 it maybe worth Tom getting an account on here, that way we can get hold of him a bit easier.
Gongalong Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Been offline for us since the 28th, so almost 3 days now.
quiet_andy Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 We tried phoning them yesterday but no answer all afternoon
Gongalong Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Yep, we've phoned and emailed. They've had their chips this time, at least as far as we're concerned. Too unreliable, sadly.
quiet_andy Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 If I could find a decent Sharepoint plugin I would be moving over today. Wonder what alternatives people are looking at.
Gongalong Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Room Booking System is excellent (as is Parents Evening System), but so damn expensive. We're going to try an Office 365 spreadsheet, but if the staff can't work it we'll move to Room Booking System.
Gongalong Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 No, that's Online School Booking. Room Booking System is £300+. £755 for us if we want all of our rooms and SIMS integration https://www.roombookingsystem.co.uk/pricing.asp
CumbrianMan Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Having same issues here. Sent email to their 'contact@...' email address and got undeliverable receipt! Not looking good. Anyone know of at decent alternatives? Could do with getting a replacement up and running by end of Easter break!
DSapseid Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 I've used www.schoolbooking.com/ for years and its great! Using the calculator on their website, 100 users & 50 rooms is £280 a year. 2
quiet_andy Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Does anyone use School Booking with SIMS integration? Does it work well with 2 week timetables? Also is it worth going through Capita or direct with them?
Gongalong Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 We trialled it, and it was straightforward to use. I think it's a free trial, so easy to test out. Just too expensive for the moment. We use Parents Evening System, another of their offerings, and that's also straightforward to use.
