Creating and Managing a Support Case

Hello All,

 

I previously posted this to  an existing and unrelated forum thread  as I could not find out how to create a new one.
I think I am now creating a new one?
 

Hopefully this is seen by a  Symantec Employee and perhaps my comments here will get some attention.

The issue(s)
There is something seriously wrong with the web based support CASE mechanism.

Firstly
Whenever I log in to the site and whatever I am trying to do -  Create a case or Manage  or update a case, I am asked every time to enter this "One Time  information" with the details of me and the company etc.

it is not a "One time information" scenario it should be called an "Every time information" scenario.
is anyone looking into this as I have raised it with people several times before.

Secondly

it seems to be impossible to access a case already created,
I go through the "First time Information" and enter all the details in the form on the right of the page and enter the existing case number.

it then creates another case with a new case number for me.

Is there something hidden that I cannot see?  or is this functionality disabled? It does not seem logical to create yet another case?

Please can you advise urgently.

I received a "NO reply" email from the support person advising me that a plan of action had been added to my case and I Cannot see it because I cannot access the case, I also cannot reply to this email.

Here is the email:

Peter,

When you login to MySymantec you should see a menu having a link "Manage cases". That is what I click to check already open cases.

 

Its on the mysymantec home page (right after you login) and then under the header "Technical Support".

I passed this post onto our case handling team, who I believe have contacted you directly

Still the same error as Peter, wheter you enter

Technical Support / Manage Case

or

Customer Support/Manage Case

 

you have to enter this one-time-information. tried Firefox and Opera with same results. Simply wanna check my open case 07771757, by this error i created 2 new one. That could really influence their statistics of solving cases just in time, well done.
