Incomplete Resource: BDAG missing many abbreviation popups

Hello,

I originally posted about this some weeks ago, but never received a response from Logos, so I'm attempting again. BDAG is missing many *many* expansions for abbreviations which appear in the BDAG abbreviation lists. The ones that do appear are great, but the benefit of the popup expansion is largely obviated if one has to continually go back to the abbreviation lists that one was supposed to not have to browse to. Although simply opening the BDAG to almost any entry will reveal this problem, take the entry for ἄρχων as representative of the problem as well as the introductory essay. There are certain abbreviations for which I can find no expansion even within the BDAG. Those are not what I'm referring to, although it'd be great if those were included.

When can we expect a complete electronic form of the BDAG?

Thanks,

Matt

The suggestion there was to email logos4feedback@logos.com as you may not get a reply in the forum.

Hi Dave, thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I've had little luck with such submissions in the past. It almost seems that the Logos support email addresses are of the 'unmonitored' type. [:$] Even with official bugs that I've submitted via customer service and where I've received a bug tracking number, they rarely follow up, and the one time they did, their suggestion was that I resubmit the bug via the same process I'd already followed!

I'll go ahead and try the emailing route again, but I hope you can understand that the lack of follow-through and general disorder is frustrating. I wish that their customer service were as efficient and prompt as their billing department.

That email address is the one that Logos quote for issues like this. By all means persevere in the forum, but do so through your original thread ( via BUMP!).

Matt-

I too wish that we'd get a little more feedback on the forums (and am grateful for the feedback that we do get) in regards to bug reports and suggestions. But after years and years on the newgroups and forums I can assure you that Logos actually does listen. Suggest@logos.com is monitored as are the forums.

I can trace most every feature in L4 back to specific newsgroup or forum discussion threads. Logos is a company that I think is truly marked (& strives to be marked) by responsiveness to customers.
