Any update on regular availability?

No, but Regular Availability continues to be accessible via the KVS Tool Mobile Companion.

Far too cumbersome to use for my needs.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

any updates on the return of availability tab?   for the first time in years i haven't renewed my diamond subscription...
No updates at the moment, but Regular Availability continues to be accessible via the KVS Tool Mobile Companion.
Why can't you just make that "mobile" page available in the regular KVS application? You manage to scrape all sorts of airline websites just fine... why can't you just "scrape" your own mobile site as well? :P



bump...
+1, don't plan on renewing without it.
Anyone want to come up with a tool to scrape the KVS mobile companion?
Regular Availability continues to be accessible via the KVS Tool Mobile Companion (which can also be used via any desktop web browser).



Any update on regular availability?
Don't plan on reactivating my subscription without it. How is there no way to scrape your own mobile site??
No, but Regular Availability continues to be accessible via the KVS Tool Mobile Companion.



WHISKEY. TANGO. FOXTROT. >:(

Mr. KVS, enough of this corporate bullcrap, please. We would like a clear, cohesive, intelligible answer, once and for all: WHY THE FLYING HELL CAN'T YOU IMPLEMENT REGULAR AVAILABILITY SEARCH IN THE DESKTOP TOOL, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DO SO ON THE MOBILE SITE?!?!?! Please don't brush us off with vague, mysterious answers about "operational difficulties". You can scrape award data from THIRTEEN airline websites, but can't simply transpose some data from one part of YOUR OWN SITE to another?! Sorry, we're not buying that anymore. What kind of idiots do you take us for, anyway - are we little children who can't know the truth about Santa, or what?!

Enough already, we want the REAL REASON, once and for all. This isn't MH370, and you aren't DB Cooper, so enough with the "unsolved mysteries". Please don't beat around the bush, going around in circles again and again and again - if we wanted to hear that kind of evasive, vague, useless, uninformative crap that doesn't make us any wiser, we would watch some of President Obama's speeches about... well, pretty much anything.

So I'm gonna enunciate this one last time, on behalf of us all: We don't give a sh*t about the fact that we "can use the KVS Tool Mobile Companion"; we know that already - we want the REAL tool. So if you have access to the data to display in the mobile companion, why can't you display the same data in the desktop tool? And if it is because all the desktop tool knows how to do is scrape websites, then how about adding "m.kvstool.com" to the list of sites it's capable of scraping?

Though I still haven't figured out the truth about Santa yet - can you share that in public?

First time opening this thread.... Always amazed to read about things companies do (err don't do) when it's clear that the customer wants it... Especially when it seems so reasonable. Personally i use EF.... But can totally see that people are so thrilled with the kvs customer service... Almost makes me want to join ::)

That is exactly what bothers me. Mr KVS is acting like Batchy explained it Mr. KVS, enough of this corporate bullcrap

Would Mr KVS just ignore the requests or just say "sorry, we can not do that for whatever reason it is" that would still be fine with me. But to act like..... And just repeat every time "Regular Availability continues to be accessible via the KVS Tool Mobile Companion" is just STUPID.

Mr KVS, you think we are idiots? I'd suggest you just stop repeat saying the above again over and over and over. I think that by now EVERYONE on here already knows that "Regular Availability continues to be accessible via the KVS Tool Mobile Companion" Its just cluttering up the forums...

Maybe, if you're really concerned (I guess you are, since you keep on repeating it) just add it to your signature. "Regular Availability continues to be accessible via the KVS Tool Mobile Companion"

The MC Engine does not currently have the sufficient capacity to be integrated into the main KVS Tool desktop application.

We appreciate your passion with regard to the KVS Tool and its functions.

And what is the plan?

Do you plan on fixing this or is it over? That's all we asked an answer for.

We do continue looking for suitable Regular Availability Engines that could be integrated into the main KVS Tool application. Unfortunately, there are currently none available.
