PSPUG provides a Message Board which has various Forums (as described below). Each of the forums are individually accessed either from the main Index or through the links listed below. This Bulletin Board offers various ways for our membership to enjoy communicating with one another as well as ask for and receive help.
PSPUG also has an alliance with PlusPSP as additional resources for our membership. There are two PlusPSP message boards that users will also enjoy.
PSPUG Message and Help Forum
The PSPUG Message and Help Forum is our main message board, where members hang out and share questions and ideas about Paint Shop Pro. It is a place where everyone is invited to post their ideas, questions, answers and other news. It is also a place where members can communicate and get to know each other on a more personal basis. It is not a "newsgroup" type of a forum, but rather a place where each of us can share in new knowledge and help each other in a friendly atmosphere.
Activities Center Forum
The Activities Center Forum is a combination of various activities and provides our members specific areas to discuss issues, present work, ask questions.

Community Activities Forum
The Community Activities section started in Feb 1999 and has been growing more popular ever since. It was decided to give them their own message board so that the posting of images would not interfere with the general flow of traffic on the main message board. Each month there are a number of activities for all levels.
-
Photo Forum
The Photo Forum was set up in February 2002, following a survey we did of our members, where we asked them what they use PSP for. We got back a lot of response from people saying they used PSP primarily to retouch photos for various uses. There were also comments about there not being an outlet for Photography and Printing issues.
-
SLP Forum
The SLP Forum has been created for the people who participate in the Self Learning Programme. It was requested by some of our members that they be allowed to post their results of their images and maybe get some help from their classmates.

Beginner Class Forum
The Beginner Class Forum has been created to provide our beginner class participants a place to display work (from their web page), ask questions and discuss lessons presented on-line.
