I would like to ask for every one who have "experience" in thins forum to announce them self "would hael newbie"/WHN. So newbie who affradi can PM them, so they can direct to right forum or ask the newbie to make new post, because it's never been posted before.
--------------------------------------------------------

I'm cornelius not a proffesional at all.. even not a "senior member" at all, even some time i have wrong english spelling, but i've get a lot of help from this forum, so i'll help newbie who looking for help for their alpine's device. You can PM me, even Email me (like other person was), i can't guarented to answer your question so instant, but with this i hope i can help this forum like this forum help me a lot.Don't be affraid it's public forum...
---------------------------------------------------------

But please be polite, someone asked me for help (come from same country as me) but i read their PM to late, then i try to sms that person asking if their problem have been resolve, but he replied me(I try to translate to english): "NOT YET!!!! but if you can't help, just leave.. DAM... as........."I'm shocked and didn't reply him again...

Me, myself often found that "search" function didn't help at all, i have 2 browse manually, even internet connection from my country is slow.... and totally expensive...
But this what i can give to this forum...

I hope other "senior member" or experience member can do same thing...

I Hope this forum always get BETER each time....

I respectfully disagree. I think we should encourage people to post rather than PM straight away. The only reason I am a "senior member" on this forum is because I have my browser open most of the time at work so I managed to rake up over 500 messages to this day.

I am not an expert, and I have absolutely no knowledge in some of the topics this forum covers. Although I can't speak for everyone I believe this to be true for most people on this forum.

While I will always try to answer any PM to the best of my ability, I will always recommend posting the question to the forum first. I am just one person and may not know the answer, make a mistake or give incomplete information. Also there may be a better way to solve the problem.

This is why it is always better if many people see your question.

As for posting in the wrong place, worse case scenario is that and admin will move your thread to the proper place.

As for the search I can only hope it will improve now that the forum switched to the new system.

Finally, you need not worry about language here. English is not my native language either and it is the same for many on this forum. It is a global forum and that's part of what makes it great.

(P.S. I owe my descent spelling to google toolbar spell checker:D )
