I apologize if this was already suggested, but I think a section regarding computer tech support could be helpful. I do not mean chat related help as there is already a section on that. Personally, I have used forums for fixing minor problems on my computer, and I have found them quite helpful. My main concern, however is that posts may be made that tell the person seeking help to delete files that are important. So, there should be a sort of disclaimer, and a moderator or an administrator, with some computer knowledge, should keep a close eye on that. Also, I am not sure if the person helping would be able to post links directing them to another help site if the person being helped does not understand what to do.

Good idea, only problem is most people here don't know enough to fix all of your ***** pop up problems & the few who probably could can't be bothered to sit for the fifteen minutes required to help someone with a problem.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaars! hi! :)
ahhh yeah i did think about such section, relating to computer tech support and i think it's not been suggested so far. But well, why do they want to come to JAC forums, which they know is not a tech support forums, and seek for some computer related helps? that's what i think, they would rather go or find some other forums sites specifically working or tech supports.
You needed help?? Michael told me you were genius at computers. o:O

That is a good idea, and I agree with Ralsom too.

Are you computer smart and could help people out like that, mars?
I wish I was. Lol.

I am not sure I have the time, or rather, willing to devote the time needed to answer the questions in a timely fashion. Furthermore, my knowledge is rather rudimentary in solving computer problems. If chatters do have problems I suppose they could post it in this thread, but I am not promising anything in regards to helping as either I do not know, or I just have not checked the forum recently. I would not classify myself as a regular as seen by my paltry post total in the years, yes years, I have been a member of this forum. Lurking, ftw, heh. As the tech idea is idealistic, but not realistic, I am willing to abandon the idea. I just figured we're all on computers and sometimes they do not act as efficiently as they should due to errors, viruses, spyware, etc. Once again, I will confess to laziness, but perhaps a section to post on computers, gaming, etc would be sufficient. If such a section/active thread exists I understand.
