In the coming week, the Support crew (seen among the lovely faces here) will be meeting in London to brainstorm new ways of providing you with the resources you need. While us Happiness Engineers are putting our heads together to churn out some big ideas, we’ll be closing our email support system.
Support will be unavailable from 10 a.m. EST on Friday, August 28 to 4 a.m. EST on Monday, September 7.
Of course, our team will still be monitoring servers and services while we’re out to keep you blogging smoothly and safely. In the meantime, we encourage you to read through the Support pages and make use of the forums, which are full of helpful users like you.

no problem, my wp blog running very well, not urgent support needed
OK, no problem! Enjoy the London weather!
what does the bear do?
I’m sorry, that’s classified ( 😛 ).
Have fun!
Hope you all have a wonderful time in London town (make sure you take in a London Walk!). Hopefully, someone will still be monitoring that special modlook feed, yes?
We’ll be checking in from time to time to make sure all is on track, yes 🙂
okay then, good luck! 😉
I predict mass panic among newbs who couldn’t be bothered to use the search button.
I don’t have problem, I want my wp blog to be knowner.
i never knew there existed an email support system..never felt the need,the forums are helpful and WP is easy to handle 🙂 all the best
Sounds like geek heaven – happy hangovers 😆 Boo-hoo! Missing you already.
London is a fabulous city.
If you have the chance, try to visit St Paul’s Cathedral. The architecture is stunning, you never know it may give you some inspiration.
I don’t have problem
have fun and hope sunshine 2
I really hope for new themes. I would like to see more themes like Silver is the new black, The journalist, I mean wider, big themes, for people like me who likes to post big pictures, you know what I mean. I have seen recently the new theme INove, beautiful, but unhappily to me, too narrow. Please consider my request. Thank you darling.
Another point to consider is the possibility of using one’s system fonts. I know is not easy but why is possible to do it with external programs like windows live writer ?
That’s it !
Good luck, n perhaps support crew meeting will result fantastic idea.
Only one weekend. What a disaster! 🙂
ok, enjoy the programm…wish you good days.
so nice.. please enjoy that
ok, enjoy your stay in London……….:D 😀 😀
we’ll be okay, our WP running well…………….
Best Regards.
Have a great time. London – one of my favorite spots in the world.
Have fun, get on the run!
It’s refreshing to soak in the sun.
For the “happiness engineers”
The single most requested feature I get is the ability to preview comments before committing to them and the option to return to editing them.
Oh and integrated “email this story”
Cheers!
Hehe I agree with the first guy all is running well here. Any chance you could incorporate the ‘read more’ tag to work on regular pages? I’ve reached so many new customers with my blog. Stay inspired.
Muchos Gracias
Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll take that into consideration 🙂
sounds like support is gonna have some fun this weekend… enjoy! 🙂
Good, pass well, but again with good things for us hehe.
greetings
Okay, good luck…
Have fun.
Do take time to have some fun after work
Doesn’t matter to me.

Enjoy yourselves! Have a spot of tea and some crumpets! You guys and gals ROCK!
hmm now I’ll have to find something else to do this weekend… darn it!

Please contact Support for issues with your account.
Get togethers are always fun and productive. It’s so good to know that your get together is pooling ideas to make WordPress even better. Here’s wishing you the very best in all your endeavors. Thank you for everything.
Hey! Cheers and do relax! I am sure we´ll manage somehow! Hehehe! Just kidding!
Truly, Enjoy your holidays, you guys do an excellent job! You desrve it!
Warmest Regards
I’m hoping for some “stunning” new features on WordPress…
Anyway, enjoy your time in London!
The best thing about WP is, we don’t need support! Except maybe very rare cases!! I like WP very much, and if you guys come up with an IPO, please let us know.
Destination Infinity
never felt the need to email a query, forums and support pages answered all my questions.
enjoy london
have a nice time in London! err… with the bear… =)
thanks for supporting us.
have a good weather.
Can you take me to London with you?
have fun there 🙂
not a problem, being a newbie, I don’t want to cram and have knowledge
overload, am taking this one step at a time. Enjoy!
It’s okay, no support needed on my end right now 🙂 Let us know what you’ve come up with 🙂
Have fun! 🙂
Enjoy. Peace and love !!
Now seriously. Thanks for the advisor.
Aaaaand of course the moment you all go on vacation Sandbox breaks. Great.
Not to worry. We’re still monitoring issues such as this one. We’re looking into this now. Keep an eye on the forums for updates.
Bad timing. You guys made some back end changes that screwed up my blog and I can’t fix it. So I’m REALLY upset about this.
We’re working to resolve this issue. Please keep an eye on the forums for updates.
Interesting how your brainstorming co-incides with the Notting Hill Carnival. Enjoy 🙂
London is a cool city any time of the year, enjoy…
Cool! Have Fun in London!
I hear it’s a nice location.
Well i aggre with all here who need Support when we got WordPress 🙂 . Very rare situations we need support . WordPress is so good that im just 12 years and i love it and my friends to WordPress beat Any Blogg place at 100% .
Are you kidding me? How does an online service shut down its customer service for 10 days? And to do it in the name of improving service? That’s beyond ironic.
I have looked at the site and read the materials, but I need a human being to answer my questions and make sure that I set everything up correctly. I am a new customer who needs to get a web presence established ASAP. I am technologically sophisticated, but having never done before what I need to do, I need guidance to make sure I get the proper upgrades. I guess I need to go find another provider. Wow. I’ll go do that right now.
Hi Courtney. I’m sorry to hear you’re frustrated. You can find help on getting started, check out a list of available upgrades, and much more in the Support docs. The forums are a great way to talk to fellow users about how to get started, as well.
Have fun! My question will wait! 🙂
Hope you’ll all to take time to enjoy GB! Be safe!
You guys are the best! I am new to WordPress, and must say all the support that I have received has been A++. Enjoy London. Well deserved. 🙂
Hey people. I am new and I am not panicking already as someone pointed out in one of the first comments. I am just wondering – what do you do, or what can you do if you have come up with a blog name that has been taken apparently, but in fact it is not – By this I mean – the system responds as: Sorry, that blog already exists! but by checking the exact address… system shows:
The authors have deleted this blog. The content is no longer available.
You can create your own free blog on WordPress.com. 🙂
Any ideas!? (:
I’m sorry, but inactive or deleted blogs can’t be reused by other users.
OMG – that’s week – it’s nine day’s – no – it’s ten days – OMG – I can’t count – I NEED SUPPORT ! Aside from that – yes, more themes, please.
I’m sure whatever updates are coming will be super useful. Thank you!
Email ? where?
I do not blog or forum
Just wanted to send a thank you
We’ll consider your comment your thanks 🙂 Cheers.
How about refunds for an unnecessary upgrade? I can wait, I just don’t want the time limit to catch me while you’re out…
We are still periodically monitoring the forums for urgent needs. Please post your issue there with the tag “modlook” to get our attention 🙂
Awww… that sucks. ^^ Thanks anyway, and enjoy your time in UK.
Have fun with the meeting 🙂
i don’t know, i guess that you can have problems at london (with bear engineer) 🙂
Hope you guys have a good time!
OK Heather, I do agree with everyone, we are OK. have a little fun. We are looking to see your new achievements. Thank you a lot.
Enjoy London.. and looking forward for an updates.. 😉
Glad you get to take a little break and brainstorm on our behalf. I have high confidence you will think up even more awesome features for all your little WPers. Say hi to Big Ben from me. 🙂
I seemed to of lost my blog- where did it go? Says account is suspended?
answerco.wordpress.com
Support has reopened. You can now submit your requests through our support form.
I really believe that: YES, excellence should always be aimed but I really feel that most of the comments have been a little bit out of line regarding those guys taking a time to think outside their common environments. Remember that at the end of the day, this is a free service if you’re not paying for upgrades or something similar so, yo should be thankful for them to worry as they do without charging.
Success to all of you guys 😉
Have a nice day in London!
Your attentive responses to my questions have always been prompt, courteous, and informative. Keep up the good work!
hallo Heather ,,,my blog has been banned you would please back my blog..i will follow the rule..please
Support has reopened. You can now submit your requests through our support form

Cape Town [360 days of sun – gets boring blue blue blue sky day in day out……oh for some grey and rain]

It’s ok. No problem. I really enjoy. Good luck to all.. 😉
I don’t have any problems, but thanks for your care & support
we’ll be okay
Hi all,
I’m hearing that you’re out from 8/28 to 9/7 – but this is 8/26, and no way to get support? I’m a brand-new WP user trying to develop a site, and running into some challenges.
Hoping you have a great time in London…but as my 6th grade grammar teacher used to say at 2:59 p.m., “The bell has not yet rung!”
Thanks!
The .gif images of my website http://songmagic.wordpress.com/ have stopped working. They were alright from past 6 months and only in the last week i have this problem. No support staff also.
so the trouble has just deepened more from few days. its the only source we had to make some motion on wordpress as flash is not allowed. so please i request u to have a look and help me.
The images should be working again. If they are not, please contact Support.
More themes, and wider ones, the default themes are, indeed, too narrow.
Also, never knew you could email support, thought it was possible, but never needed anything, learned it all by myself and the support pages, mostly as reference for the html codes. I hate newbies.
I really belive that:Yes, excellence!!!!! Nice !!!!
Success to you guys !!!!!!!!!
My private email is showing up at the bottom of each and every blog entry so everyone can see it. I have tried to change the email and it says email (private) next to it as it is shown for all the PUBLIC to see. Please help me.

Hope you all are enjoying London. Also I hope you are brainstorming for even more great ideas for WordPress. 🙂
Let the people have a rest! But hey don’t drink too much, we need you the next day here 🙂 London am sure could be tempting with it’s bars !!!
I think it would be awesome if there was a new theme that was a pretty purple color^.^ it would rock soo much and I bet a lot of people would use it, just a suggestion but its something I wanted to add as my first post on hereas a new WP user^.^
Love ya’ll! How exciting–more stuff!
