The new support forum can start operations. After a long period of preparation (it took approx. 20 hours of work), we are happy to be able to release the new support forum today.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"baseline\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/de\/media\/forum.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The new support forum offers many great functions and we hope that it will be a great help for all users working with our products.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"en-GB\">Community <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">support for everyone<\/span><\/h2>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">In contrast to<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.archivista.ch\/oscommerce\/catalog\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>commercial support,<\/strong><\/a> where you, the customer, can call any time, send an e-mail or order training and support from us or our contract partners, there is no direct support from us and\/or our contract partners for those wishing to use the ArchivistaBox under the GPL license.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">For many years, however, <a href=\"http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/archivista\/support\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>support forums have been available at sourceforge.net.<\/strong><\/a> But their user-friendliness  left much to be desired. The new support forums offer a tool  that is up-to-date and has a wealth of useful functions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">But the term \u2018community support\u2019 also means  that the support  should be provided by users for other users. Quite frankly, we have neither the time nor the resources to provide community support for several hours every day. However, we will probably check in once or twice each week and attempt to provide brief answers to the best posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"en-GB\">Sources now available at <a href=\"http:\/\/svn.archivista.ch\/websvn\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/svn.archivista.ch\/websvn<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">We are frequently asked which new features the new versions contain. The simplest way to determine this is from the sources. Here, too, the old solution wasn&#8217;t particularly convenient. With the new solutions, direct queries can be submitted about the changes, allowing you to see at any time what was changed, when and why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">We hope you have great fun and success using the two new support options. And there\u2019s one more thing: if anyone would like to act as a moderator for the support forums, <a href=\"mailto:webmaster@archivista.ch?subject=Administrate%20support%20forum%20ArchivistaBox\"><strong>please contact us.<\/strong><\/a> There is no money to be made, but you will get merits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"en-GB\">No <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">room for show-offs and naysayers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Unfortunately, support forums are sometimes a stomping ground for show-offs and naysayers. We expect people to use a matter-of-fact and friendly tone in the support forums. The point of the exercise is to describe problems with the Archivista products and\/or receive help with them. This does not mean that no criticism is permitted, but it must be constructive and appropriate. If someone doesn&#8217;t like the Archivista products, they do not need to advertise this in the forums.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">And if someone can\u2019t find specific support material in the manual, it doesn&#8217;t really help to write that the handbook is useless (sorry, but we invest quite a bit of time in the manual and it is free of charge!). An exact description of the actual problem is much more useful &#8211; it\u2019s usually best to keep things clear and concise. And if someone wants to put forward a solution to a particular problem, their comments are always very welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">We would <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">also like to state clearly that if someone does not wish to stick to the rules, we will be forced to intervene without delay.  As we\u2019ve already said, there\u2019s no place in our forums for show-offs and naysayers. With this in mind, we hope you <a href=\"http:\/\/help.archivista.ch\/forum\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>enjoy using the new support forums.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"dkpdf-button-container\" style=\"            text-align:right \">\n\n\t\t<a class=\"dkpdf-button\" href=\"\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/555?pdf=555\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"dkpdf-button-icon\"><i class=\"fa fa-file-pdf-o\"><\/i><\/span> PDF Button<\/a>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forum at http:\/\/help.archivista.ch\/forum\/ Pfaffhausen, 3 April 2010: the time is finally here.
