Every once in a while people tend to get stuck on technical issues or even non-technical issues that just baffle the hell out of them. whats the solution to this problem? Online Forums. For example, a few years back i was having issues with importing transparent PNG format files to my Dreamweaver from my then Fireworks 4 program in the Macromedia family of products.
I looked around on the internet and browsed so many sites that didnt give me a clear cut issue. all the articles that i found were totally useless and only reiterated my problem. some said to install client-side apps and resolve the issue, some said it wasnt possible and then there was one site that said that upgrading my Dreamweaver would solve the problem.
Then one day I said to myself, Hey Macromedia makes it so they should know how to fix it and it was in this spirit that i went to their website and joined the forums to which i have gotten so accustomed that it makes no sense to look elsewhere for solutions.
But on a much larger note, the concept of on-line forums totally rocks. there is always a good chance that other ppl around the world are facing the same issues you are. infact if you find a forum that has people that are experimenting then you can resolve issues as well. I think most of us dont have a clue about the great potential sitting out there on the internet.
However, remember one thing, if you cant get it free then you might have to pay for it; which isnt a bad option if you are really interested in getting help on a regular basis from people much more experienced than you or even people that have expertise in your particular problem thru personal experience.
Till the next rant
