Client Feedback
We’ve asked some of our clients to comment on our services and abilities.
This morning you saved my message boards, some hacker had gotten in and you caught it and fixed it within minutes! … I can not thank you enough Josh, you’re the greatest… If anyone is running UBB.Threads or is thinking of setting up a message board this is the guy to get to help you, he is just a marvel. And don’t let the Mickey Mouse ears fool you, he’s actually a very serious person.

I would like to THANK Josh for all of his hard work on my site, he has completed several mods for me and they work great, his prices are fair and he responds very quickly. With all the help that Josh has provided I think I have one of the best sites around. If you need any mods / updates for UBBT and IIP Josh is “Da Man”
Thanks Again Josh for all your help.

Definitely two snaps and a twist for this guy!
This is one reccomendation I have no problem giving. If it wasnt for Josh I would have pulled my hair out trying to figure things out with my board.
I would highly reccommend hiring Josh if you need anything done with your UBB Threads boards. His hacks are great, he responds quickly and thoroughly and best of all he has patience.
He transferred my board over to my new server for me with no glitches and he did it in record time.
Not to mention help me with the board hacks I kept screwing up.I truly hope he never gets sick of helping out because I would have to seriously bribe him if he did

It is a pleasure for us to post some comments here.
We are very glad we found Josh and that we trusted him with the modifications, installation, and maintenance of our boards.
Josh has done a great job, is always on time, is a pleasure to work with, and has a talent to put into words exactly what he is going to do so there are no errors or misunderstandings.
There are many mods that can not be seen, that Josh suggested and made just for us, that are helping us a lot in managing the board
We could not be happier!
Thank You Josh!

Josh has done it again! Just finished upgrading for me, and everything works perfectly. Very professional, quick, and friendly. No “joshing”! (sorry, couldn’t resist! )

Like the others, Josh helped me on my bulletin board. Not only did he do the upgrade, but he helped trouble shoot the problems I was having as well!
Very professional, and he REALLY knows what he’s doing! Thanks!

We have a small print / pdf publication on Radio Control Model Helicopters. Because of the difficulties in a complex hobby, having an open forum on R/C helicopters is one of the most important ingredients to the success of our business. With this in mind, having someone available in the unlikely event of problems, or just upgrading, to keep up with the competition is equally as important. I first met Josh while posting some questions on the InfoPop forum. My questions were always quickly answered by him in a professional and friendly manner. To my surprise, one day I happened to read another post where Josh had upgraded another user. Well the rest is history. On my last upgrade to 6.2.3, the board was only down for 20 minutes. After the installation, he answered my questions and made some additional changes. In addition, the charges for his professional services are very reasonable as well.
I would highly recommend Josh and his services to anyone who is interested in a knowledgeable person who you can trust. Thanks Josh!

HI all,
I contacted Josh after a new UBB threads install to my server. My users didn’t like the out of the box experience and wanted some changes made. Josh promptly quoted me a very reasonable cost and had the work completed within 2 days of contacting him.
It’s rare you meet someone who is honest, enthusiastic and dedicated to bettering a product. Josh is just that rare person.
Hire him. You won’t regret it.

I’ve sort of “known” Josh for awhile now. We have helped each other with some small items, some related to Threads and some related to Macs…LOL.
However, today I was faced with the daunting task of moving my complete web site over to Infopop’s servers. Now, I’m not too bad at html, etc, but when it comes to moving a database like that, well, let’s just say I was “nervous” So, I did what every smart person should do, hired Josh to do the db work.
Best decision I ever made as he finished the job in record time, whereas I’d have probably been at it for at least a day. Cudos to JOSH for a job VERY WELL DONE.
I’d most certainly recommend his services to anyone needed a little help or a lot of help. As a matter of fact, he is getting a link from my board to here so people can find him.
Thanks Josh! My users really appreciate your help too!
Shoot, he even put a very nice, integrated chat room on for me!

Okay, I havn’t read over the other reviews yet but I can guess they are good ones, cuz Josh is the MAN :2bow: First of all, you have to check out my web site, www.biketrip.com to really appreciate the work Josh has done for me.
I have had so many dreams for what I wanted to do with biketrip. Fortunately I stumbled on UBB.threads, and then threadsdev.com and then Josh. First I was sold on threads, it was exactly what I was looking for to establish the community. But the next challenges involved getting my rather complex database incorporated with the threads environment, and then start adding features that I only dreamed about.
We are not done yet but let me tell you about just one of the cool things Josh did. I have about 1100 trails in my database. I have always wanted a way for bikers, bike clubs set up group rides on one of those trails, or on one of their own (whether it be a trail, a route, whatever). Josh used the power of threads and his indepth knowledge of PHP/MySql to make this happen. It looks so good, and works fantastic!
THere were many MANY other things I wanted and I have no doubt this site will flourish due to Josh’s commitment to making the site GREAT. He is very quick to respond to all my questions, he moved on the project quicker than anyone I’ve ever worked with, and continues to surprise me with all he can do. I give him highest marks possible, best developer I’ve ever worked with.

I just wanted to say what a wonderful help Josh has been in helping me implement my forum. Not only in helping me “fix” things I can routinely break, but I have this knack for coming up with ideas of things I want to bring to the forum, for which I have no idea how to do them,I jsut know what I want. Josh always seems to be able to bring my thoughts to reality for me…Thank you Josh!
I recommend Josh ful heartedly!(Just please don’t make him so busy that he can’t help me, LOL
Love and Hugs to you Josh…..
Pam
We were not asked to say anything, just followed one of the links Josh left at our site and found this site
I would like to say something:
We are more than happy with the installation, and modifications, that were made at our site
Also very impressed by how easy Josh made it for us.
We thought it was going to be a lot more difficult and a lot more expensive…
Very happy to have Josh in our teamGreat job Josh!

When StepTogether (www.steptogether.org), a message board and support forum for stepmothers with 1000+ members was dumped in my lap in the fall of 2002, I knew very little of the technicalities outside the basic day to day running of the message board. Our new volunteer webmistress had minimal experience with SQL, so we realized quickly that we needed help from someone with expertise.
Josh got involved when he initially did an upgrade of the board, and he took care of both the upgrade and any loose ends with impressive speed and efficiency. His creative suggestions have improved our board, and he easily taught us how to do a lot of the fun stuff ourselves. He responds extremely fast to any problems and concerns (not that we have had that many lately) and fixes them so quickly and smoothly that we hardly know he’s there. I’m sure we don’t pay him nearly what he’s worth.
He’s also good with hysterical women. (Ever tried closing a board for two hours with 1000 members in urgent life crises?)

I have been working with Josh for quite a while now and have learned a great deal from him, He has made many changes (and helped me to) on my site. He goes beyond the call of duty to help get things squared away and I have always appreciated that, his prices are very reasonable and you will get more than you expect for it. Aside from being a client of his he is always there to answer basic questions about anything related to UBB Threads for people. Thanks for all the great work, Josh.

Well, Josh has done it again! Not too long ago we switched our site over to his servers, and he made us never miss a beat.
Then, yesterday, he fixed us up with the myPaymentPal software and some custom scripting, and as usual we never missed a beat.
We are endebted to him for his help, and wouldn’t hesitate to turn him loose on our site in the future…in fact, I’m sure I will!
Chuck
Josh,
You rock! I wanted to create a community that is seamless with the rest of my content site. You managed to make Threads and PhotoPost look and feel like www.babypartner.com . The integrated login, separate side-bar menus and admin menus look, feel and work perfectly. I’m so glad that I found you! Thanks again, I’m very happy with everything you’ve done!

We just went through a move in our fairly large community, at www.ifish.net, from UBB Classic, to Threads.
The move was a nightmare! I had three people to choose from, and even though my heart said, “Josh!” I was encouraged to go with someone else. I mean, after all, Josh likes Disney! How could you go wrong with a guy who has the same passions as I do?
Never again will I hire anyone else as long as Josh can find time to help us!
I never thought a guy that wears a mouse hat could do so much!
Every option that I dreamed of I wrote to him, and he says it is possible!
What a breath of fresh air, after the nightmare we went through at the start!
Anyhow, I can’t say enough good things, so I’ll just leave it at that.
I am fairly paranoid about having other people work on ifish. Not many people understand how much these sites mean to the owners. I think you, as a site owner, can understand that. From the very beginning, Josh, with his professional attitude, made me feel like I could trust him. So can you!
I have told many people about Josh’s abilities, and will continue to do so. I just hope he doesn’t get too busy! (Shall we keep it a secret?)OK, I’ve gushed enough! But Josh, thank you so much for the confidence I have in you. It is well deserved, and I am so thankful that ifish found you!!!

I’ve been using Josh for over a year now for me Oklahoma State web site, www.o-state.com.
He has done GREAT-GREAT work for me. Created some programs for the UBB.Threads board I didn’t think could be done.
No question THE place to go for your needs!
Thanks Josh!

Having been around the block a few times I have found many individuals that offer customer service to not perform as stated. But when I get SUPER SERVICE as I have received from Josh it is worthy of a response.
First, besides the fact that this gentleman (Josh) is a true magician at what he does, he is very understanding and appreciates how business should be run.
My story.
I woke up this morning to find my board down. My web hosting service insisted it was a coding problem. I contacted Josh and explained the problem. Of course I needed this fixed right away. Josh immediately responded back and explained he was just about out the door to catch a plane but would do what he could.The man fixed the problem! He dropped what he was doing and addressed my sense of urgency. He made my problem his priority. This is not the typical type of service one usually receives and only further exemplifies the superior manner in which Josh conducts business. He is the consummate professional.
Josh, you now have another customer for life!
Respectfully,
Ivan H. RichmondPS. Hope you caught that plane!
Wow. Not much to add that hasn’t already been said.
I asked Josh to set up UBB.Threads on my new site (http://www.SpartanBand.net), and he had it up and running in about an hour!
He also promptly answered all my customization questions and really helped me to get the site looking the way I wanted it.
I would highly recommend Josh to anyone interested in setting up a UBB.Threads (or any) site.

I think this is my third “thanks” in here to Josh, but I mean it more than ever
In the course of working with many developers over a 6 year period, I’ve yet to find anyone that gives you ANYWARE NEAR what Josh gives you for the money. His excellent coding skills and well thought out implementation always saves me money in the end.
My front-end site at www.fitnessrace.com is cool and flashy, but the real secret is the modifications Josh has done for me in the background.
Hats off to Josh, he always excels above and beyond
