I agree with you in the fact that there are some issues. It seems mostly, in what I have experienced, that the main problem is with who they outsource their graders for certian courses (I with hold the name as courtesy to Ashworth). As to more of a social interaction that would not be possible without a major commitment from Ashworth directly. Since They are only open during what I would call normal buisness hours (M-F 8-5p). At first I truly wanted to attend there online orientation but found myself unable to do so due to interferance with work.
As to having Ebay pop-ups, it would seem that Ashworth is having issue's with there server as normally I never have an issue's but today I keep getting a "Bad Request" error message from this forum
I sent you an email as well with this response
