It is strangely surprising that finding powerpoint forums were not at all easy. I found this out when I had this really important presentation to do and I was having all sorts of issues with Microsoft powerpoint. I searched the web for what seems like hours, and was still left in the dark. The web can be such an awesome knowledge base but when you have a problem that is just so specific, so much that you think it has never happened to anyone else before, you realize that the web is still not enough.
Anyway, I ran into a website called http://www.findpowerpoint.com and it basically saved my life (well, not literally). The site is not really a powerpoint forum, but it is a question and answer website similar to stack overflow or yahoo answers. You can ask your question and a member will answer. The members seemed knowledgeable and courteous. I am so appreciative of this website because it was there for me in time of need.
The website is more like a powerpoint resource and help area. In some ways it can be compared to a forum because you can interact with other members of the website. Once you have asked your question, a member (or several members) will respond. You can add comments to each answer, enhancing the interaction. Once you are satisfied that your question has been answered, you can select an answer as best answer. Findpowerpoint.com has several categories, most of which are focused on PowerPoint. There are also categories on Open office and presentations as well. There is also a category for questions in other languages. This category was empty however, which is one reason why I wanted to get the word out about this powerpoint forum-like website.
I think these kinds of website are great to have, but unfortunately they are not that many active powerpoint forums out there. Another great benefit to joining is that the website states that it provide rewards for active members, which is always a plus. For instance, the more questions you ask and answer, the more points you get. You even get a point each day for logging in. You can also add an image to your question or add a youtube video. So, if you have an issue that is very detailed and hard to describe in words this feature will come in handy.
I am writing this website review because I was going through a really tough time while creating a presentation for my final project and I was just stuck. Findpowerpoint.com literally saved my project, as I was having unknown errors with powerpoint the night before my presentation was due. I am putting this article on the internet for the world to see, hoping that this website might help someone else in need, and that they too will receive help in a timely manner.
