SlingFile Feedback From SlingFile Support Team
Hi, All:

Wow! What a whirlwind of responses that truly run the gamut. Well, being an internationally popular website, this comes with the territory. We welcome any and all feedback.

SlingFile was founded in 2009, and exchanged hands in 2010. We have been working from then until 2011 to make the system and payout system more robust. So, we've been unable to check outside of our regular support forums for the last few months.

We are creating an official support forum here today. Generally, it's always the best policy to go directly to the website itself for any support or assistance, particularly when it's important to you.

Our support team does scan these forums and other bb's, but of course feedback is hit and miss in that case. So, it would make sense to go direct for the best assistance. You can always reach us via the support form on our webpage, and we respond within 24-48 hours, 1-2 business days.

For those asking for free premium accounts, not too many websites offer that, we do not either. Our paid accounts are very reasonably priced, and you can even try a free trial very inexpensively to see if our services best meet your needs.

As for payment proof, the best proof happens when you use the site yourself. As has been posted, anyone, employees, or no, can post screenshots, but you don't know how well it works until you use the site yourself. Being that basic membership is always free, and we're a site that pays you for file hosting, storage, and sharing, it's a winning proposition, for sure.

As for copying other sites, many webmasters, online content creators, and investors model other websites and business models in the effort to build businesses. This is why templates and communities such as Creative Commons exist. Emulating other successful business owners (a practice as old as time) is no reason to rule out the validity or legitimacy of a website.

It's very easy for people to tear something or someone else down, be they a competitor, someone who is jealous, or someone who is negative in general. It's a fair playing field in the world on online transactions and business, and so we take our lumps accordingly. This is a part of the business world.

When in doubt, investigate for yourself. Scams tend to require an investment of some kind without a return. Our rates of return are very clearly indicated on our website, and no membership or investment is even required for earning such returns.

We'll see you at SlingFile,

SlingFile Support Team

Hello,

the first thing I notice when I open SlingFile is this weird error; http://screensnapr.com/v/FWrrsf.png. You should arrange a new favicon that is NOT similar to FileServe's favicon. People will come to notice that you have copied FileServe's favicon and you will not get any good out of having such a reputation. Under the "Link to us" page , I would recommend that you have some small buttons too, that people may use, it's not everyone who wants to have a huge banner that ruin the whole design of the website they own. I do not really understand why the log in button is tucked far away from everything else; http://screensnapr.com/v/LzmYVG.png.

Do you want to translate your website into different languages​​?
 
MrSandvik,

Yup. Got it. Website growing pains, totally. Gotta start somewhere. Thanks for your very specific feedback (it can only help, right?) and also about that error, that *is* weird...! I forwarded that and your question re: languages to the techs. Likely they will forward it to management, if we get any bites re: interest, we'll follow up w/you.

Thanks for all the suggestions dude--

See You At SlingFile,

SlingFile Team

Thanks a lot! Forwarded this to the management and if needed, we will be in touch for sure. Growing slowly so we may not need this right away. Keep in touch. Best way to get in touch with management is to contact via the website support functionality.

Best of Luck!

Doh!

Type the youtube URL then

/watch?v = D0zCkWxihMY [remove spaces obvo]


maybe this will work? Trying not to activate the app that opens the embed for viewing, doesn't seem to work right, could be because of our newbie status on the board.

The URL contained a malformed video ID.
Sorry about that

Thanks for heads up,
