First of all I would like to say I know there is no shortage of forums. I
am not in favor of there being too many forums on a particular subject and
we all know that there are already many good forums. In other words, this
forum is not trying to compete with Tapuz, Walla,Nana etc.
I would like to see in this forum messages and questions from people whose
questions were not answered elsewhere; this happens sometimes. Only today –
and just by chance – I went back a few pages in the technical help forum of
Tapuz and saw that there were quite a few questions unanswered. I assume
there are many more of these. I shall be pleased to assist anyone who did
not receive help from other forums.
Also, but no less important, I shall be pleased to receive requests for new
Guides on subjects not yet covered. I cannot promise that the guides will
show on the site the day requested and I cannot promise to answer everyone
immediately, but I will try to do my best.
The guides I have already written are quite specific. I try to write guides
on the most difficult and common problems but will be happy to write guides
on more unusual subjects according to your requests. This site is purely to
help and advise and for each of us to learn from the other and there is no
financial gain for anyone.
You are invited to comment on my guides, to offer corrections or additions.
Once again, I will endeavor to reply to every request. I trust your
requests will be made in a polite and patient manner.
One last thing which should interest all of you; this site Amithelp is
sponsored by Cool Free Pages which works in a unique way .The advantages of
their system are
1)50MB free storage space 2) no advertisements on the page, advertisements
only on a separate page and 3) use of FTP programs. I will mention two
disadvantages
1) the company offers no technical support at all
2) a site, which is not updated within two weeks, will be closed. (I am not
absolutely sure they mean updated, I believe they mean if the site is not visited.
In my opinion this is not a major problem because sites which are not
updated regularly become boring anyway
I recommend you to save this site’s web address (the forum) in your ‘Favorites
Menu’.
That’s it for now – I’ve said too much anyway but look forward to seeing
you on the site soon. Your messages can be in Hebrew or English and we will
reply in the language of your choice.
Have a good day
Amit Ha Mechashef.
