Default Put Daily Sun on hold via website

Has anyone had any success doing this?

I followed the directions to the letter and, after entering the off/on dates, it asked for a password, but there was no box in which one could be typed.

I logged out, waited half an hour and logged back in, in case it had taken my instructions anyway, but there had been no change.

They are always very good at processing an e-mailed request, but it would be nice to be able to do it oneself.

Also, be aware that the website won't let you sign in from outside the USA, so you can't turn delivery back on before you get back.

With any decent VPN, you can connect from any part of the world.

I agree - they are very helpful

I have had them cancel delivery (confirmed), and advised them of the problem (no reply) so I don't know if they are taking any action to fix it, or if it was a temporary glitch

I was hoping that someone on TOTV might have used the facility successfully, or maybe had the same problem as I did

I have had both success and failure. Failure came about when I didn’t save the changes (seems like I had to save twice before exiting the change). But I would like to be able to see the change or get a confirmation via email that the change was accepted. Once I realized that I needed to revise my change I called the newspaper.

I just call them, much easier and faster. Never get put on hold for more than about a minute. It’s an absolute pleasure to still be able to make a phone call, not get screened by AI, get put on hold for a long time, and then get someone on the other end that barely speaks recognizable English.

I successfully used it yesterday. I believe you need to create a second login and password before it will work. It’s all in the instructions on the website

Default Always call

I’ve never been able to get it to work online. I’ve also reported the issue but I just call now. I just try to keep my expectations low about all IT services in TV. They are pretty dreadful.

This cracks me up! The most non-intuitive web app ever. And when you call and say you are having trouble, they say have you read the (lengthy, confusing) instructions? Instead of writing instructions and fielding calls, they should simply make the app work like every other app in the world. Thanks for the laugh this morning.

Same here. Always a friendly, local voice.

I did it yesterday with no problem. You don’t need to to sign in internationally because you enter the vacation start and stop dates when you make the original entry. As usual with Villages related apps, it is like entering something using 1995 technology, but it works when you remember at 10pm and can’t call the office.
