    @cybergibbons Ok I know I’m late and you’re just blowing off steam. But if I want a photo from message app, I click the convo/ info / photos … all there. Never saved one. If you mean Fb messenger, I can’t help. And “download” is weird.

  • Gan_ortle Gandorma (@Gan_ortle) reported

    @ZenInternetHelp is the only way to report a fault really via FB messenger? Fibre down and no way to report it or get help to get it fixed. Not quite what I expected from my fibre package 😕

    @VOXI_UK have you ever thought of rebranding yourselves as POXI? Been trying to login to my account for the past two hours and you're doing maintenance apparently. Most companies do it overnight when there's less demand. Tried to DM you and get help in FB messenger. No joy. #POXI

    @airtransat Also, the live agent on FB messenger was able to solve zero problems. Apparently they only “answer questions”, not anything actionable. So maybe no longer refer people to them.

    @Komaniecki_R Out of academia now, so don't get many (mostly former students) & usually they're in-person meetings over lunch. The randoms I get are via email/FB Messenger. I'll help them briefly once. If they come back, I ask if they'd like to be a student at my usual rate -- or buy me lunch.
