I read about peoples computer problems at Computing.Net

I'm always interested in different computer sites if anybody knows some good ones.

There's more experts at some sites than people.

Broadband Reports has a bunch of knowledgables good guys, gals too. // forums.

Two that I belong to PCQ&A Stay out of the 'Off topic' area unless you want to get jumped on. Was a great site once, still good and some other members here are also members there. Great computer help.

The other one I belong to but visit less is Worldstart, it is as good as the other site for computer help.

You will need to register at either site if you wish to post, reading posts does not need registration.

Computing Net as Randy said is good.
Some more you can try.
cnet.com

Tech Forum
Is ok but not so busy.

Their is another good one but they won't allow a question like you asked, so forget them I say.

I can't imagine a place having any better experts than right here.

So many folks have been so great to help me with all my problems.

I'm running pretty smoothly these days thanks to the helpers here.

This site used to be the best site on the web.
We have lost so many of the old members tho.
I haven't checked into other sites yet.
Usually can find my answer thru Google.

This is true probably on every forum and for many reasons. Things are much more streamlined today, we do not need to add files we create to get things working. Software and hardware is better despite all the naysayers bashing good 'ole MS.

Sometimes a bond builds between certain members to the point of being cyber friends so when a person disappears others find it difficult to understand. Some get fed up with helping but having so many not reply that a fix worked or did not work so they never know if the suggestion was worth the effort to write out.

It is much like life itself I suppose, people come people go but life goes on

I agree with Chemocurl - Great experts right here!
I've reaped the benefit of their expertise many times in the past. Being a late night 'puter user and wanting answers right away when my %#$@* computer starts causing havoc, I start searching for answers and generally end up here - looking to see if anyone has posted a request for help on a problem similar to mine Quite often I find the answers I need. Also just reading the posts and responses is like a mini computer class - varied and interesting!

Just yesterday I found out something I didn't know (there's lots and lots of things I don't know) about CCleaner - I use it all the time to clean up my cookies and temp files but didn't know (till after reading a post here) that it has a registry cleaner too. Used it yesterday and it seemed to correct a DLL error that had mysteriously **shown up**. Note - I got the tip about using CCleaner from a post here - Thank you!

As Owbist says - some members get fed up with helping, taking the time to write out suggestions and never finding out if their response was helpful or not. I'm taking this opportunity to thank all those members who have taken the time to post responses and those that have asked the questions as well - I've gained valuable information from all of you. Maybe sometime I'll actually be able to help as well (for now I'm just a newbie stumbling along).

I appreciate the efforts of all of you who try to demystify and simplify the wonderful world of computer technology.

Thanks for asking the question Bluehorn and thanks to all of you for your responses - I'm sure I'll be checking some of those sites as well. LOL

June ... a loyal lurker :)

Thanks to you all for your suggestions. I have lots of places to ask my questions, now.

Here's another one for you.
