I jumped to Known (https://withknown.com/) instead. Installation was smooth and easy. Interface immensely friendly... And support is actually helpful, responsive and non-arrogant.

I will have about 14 million users, being happy with Known.

when i go through the comment section i can see your problem is said as blah/blah/blah & i am pretty sure it has nothing to do with elgg may be with your dummy server that has the blah/blah/blah problem or your file permission is not set properly.. First come down from your arrogance for the elgg community to help you with a proper solution & we are not magicians to sort out your problem without giving a proper error msg/screenshot ..

As I have stated already from the start - I went through every question related to the same problem.

The problem here is not me, but people who apparently are unable/willing to read properly and begin to go ad hominem. 

You show ignorance here, seeking to defend which should not be defended. To act as a support, you should be disregarding the outrage and keep to the technical area.

Doesn't matter though. I found a place which could offer what I needed smoothly without problems (although they had a little laugh when I mentioned Elgg support - so I'm at least not alone...).

The only one who has acted professional in this, has been Jerome. Kudos to him.

Close the thread. I'm out.
