FAQ:
What do Premium Members get? Free Members will often get quick tips and nudges in the right direction. But as a Premium Member, we'll go more in-depth on your question, by providing whatever is needed to get you to succeed at your project. We'll continue to back-and-forth with you until the issue is resolved. It might take 2 posts, it might take 32 posts -- either way, we'll get you an answer.
How long to get my question answered? Premium Member questions are generally answered within 24-36 hours, although it can be 3-5 days for more complicated issues (critiques, guide requests, downloading samples, etc).
Who answers these questions?
Unlike some places, many of our advice-giving members are qualified full-time media professionals! Most questions are answered by forum users admin, kpmedia and lordsmurf. However, there are a number of talented, educated and qualified members here, who come here either of their own free choice, or because we have requested their input on a specific matter. We'll often click the "Thanks!" button when these folks add great answers to questions.
Premium Members can download files, right?
Yep. All site members can download our free templates, filter packs, firmware files, archived abandonware, etc. We do this to prevent leeching, as well as monitor the popularity. (Popular files will get more frequent updates!)
