Default Hobby King Logon and annoying habit !

Am I the only one who experiences trouble wqith HK Logon ?

a) it never remembers so you can logon automatically like here at Wattflyer for example.

b) During a session it repeatedly needs to be re-logged in ...

c) Even when upper section shows me logged in - review or discussion session says I'm not ... you log in and text box doesn't work !

It doesn't even seem to be specific - it just happens whenever it feels like it ! and that's OFTEN !!

It's b********** annoying !!

Hi Nigel for the Last few Days HK has had some issues with its Web site, one day i could not even log on to the web site, they need to do some maintenance on it. Take care and have fun, Chellie

Do not Judge, or you too will be Judged. For in the same way you Judge others, you will be Judged, and with the same measure you use, it will be measured to You.

They were hacked big time. I suspect they have major maintenance and updates just as Chellie says.

They got hacked by someone in the Middle East. Since there are plenty of other very good discount hobby vendors it's not even an issue. Low Price RC, Leaders Hobby, and RC Castle come to mind as very reliable Chinese hobby stores with great selection and great customer service.

I guess for me it really wouldn't matter if Hobby king got hacked for good since I don't buy anything from them anymore.

The TRUTH is not always what it seems.

OK ... didn't know that ... but it's been like this for ages ... not just recent.

Not really relevant is it ... I use HK and quite happy with the gear I've had from them ... in years only had to contact them 2x ... one was to re-instate an order I mistakenly cancelled ... other was a non-working ESC that in fact was OK - just needed a small change in setting up - throttle trim !

My post was about the web-site login ...

I've given up on hobbyking overall. I can't get the super buggy website to load on my smart phone reliably, I can't load links from web searches on hobby kings website, and I absolutely despise not being able to see what shipping is without logging in.
