			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><blockquote><b>T-ShirtForums </b>is happy to announce a new section of the forum called "<a href="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/official-company-sponsored-support-forums/" target="_blank"><b>Official  Company Sponsored Support Forums</b></a>" (maybe we can call it OCSSF for short? :))<br />
</blockquote>We're proud to work with <a href="http://www.proworldinc.com" target="_blank">Pro World</a> to be their official online support forums for their customer base.<br />
<br />
<b><font size="4"><font size="5"><font color="Blue"><a href="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/pro-world-help-forums/" target="_blank"><b>Pro World Help Forums</b></a></font></font></font></b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.proworldinc.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/images/proworldforumsshot.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />
<br />
Now you can connect with other Pro World customers and other business owners in the official Pro World Help Forums:<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><font size="4"><a href="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/pro-world-help-forums/" target="_blank"><u><b><img src="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/images/tsf_pw_banner_noshad.gif" border="0" alt="" /></b></u></a></font><br />
</div><font size="4"> <br />
<b>You've got questions? We've got answers :)</b><br />
<br />
<font size="3"><b>Q:  What exactly is an </b><b>Official Company Sponsored Support Forum section?</b><br />
<br />
 <font color="Black"><b>A:</b> </font><font color="Black">An <b>OCSSF</b> is a section of the forum where a specific company has <b>selected T-ShirtForums to outsource their online forum support offering to have them hosted at T-ShirtForums.com<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</b> <br />
<b>Q: What's the difference between an <i>Official Company Sponsored Forum</i> section like </b><b><a href="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/pro-world-help-forums/" target="_blank">the ones for Pro World</a> and a section of the forum with a company name like "<a href="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/cafepress/" target="_blank">CafePress</a>"?</b><br />
<br />
<b>A:</b> </font>    <font color="Black">Good question!  Some forum sections were created as simply a way to help <i>keep frequently discussed topics more organized</i>.  <br />
<br />
Customers or potential customers of those companies may have already been posting questions here in the forums, however, <i>there's no "official" support from the company offered</i>.  Sometimes employees of the company may see posts and respond, however <b><i>the focus is </i></b><i><b>organizing existing peer to peer help questions</b></i>.<br />
<br />
With the <b>OCSSF</b> sections, companies <b><i>actively promote that their help forums are hosted at T-ShirtForums.com</i></b> and their <b>OCSSF sections are <i>specifically co-branded</i></b> with their company logos and banners. <br />
</font> <font color="Black"><br />
</font> <font color="Black">So in addition to the awesome, <i>friendly</i>, peer to peer help you've come to know and love at T-ShirtForums, you can also get more frequent "official" answers from company staff and have a more accessible point of contact that is an active member of our community.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Q: What are the rules for this new section?</b><br />
<br />
<b>A:</b> The <a href="!4!http://www.t-shirtforums.com/forum-information/t4.html" target="_blank">same guidelines</a> that helped T-ShirtForums grow to be the largest, friendliest place to network, learn and share information about the t-shirt industry still apply.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</font>  <font color="Black"><b>Q: This is cool! How do I use it?</b><br />
<br />
<b>A:</b> You know how sometimes you have a question about a product and <b><i>you want to hear answers from fellow customers who have already purchased and used that product</i></b>? We've got that :)  <br />
<br />
There are also those times where <i><b>you'd like to hear an official word from the company based on their past experience</b></i> with the product or tips that they know have worked for other customers.  Now, we've got that too :)  <br />
<br />
Instead of having to register for <i>17 different forums from 17 different companies</i>, we're making it easier to get the help you need all in one place! <b>If you're a Pro World customer, but not yet registered for T-ShirtForums.com, <a href="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/register.php" target="_blank">please fill out the quick registration form here</a>.</b><br />
<br />
<b>It's easy.</b> If you have a question about a product you bought from <a href="http://www.proworldinc.com/" target="_blank"><b>Pro World</b></a> or <i>a product you've seen on the Pro World website</i> (heat transfer paper for inkjet and laser printers, heat presses, stock plastisol transfers, blank garments and other imprintables), you just <a href="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/pro-world-help-forums/" target="_blank"><b>head on over to the Pro World Help sections</b></a> of the forums and click on the <b>POST NEW THREAD</b> button to post your question there.<br />
<b><br />
You'll get help from fellow Pro World customers as well as great official responses from Pro World staff.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</b> <br />
<b>Q: <a href="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/suggestions-ideas-pro-world/" target="_blank">Pro World wants to hear from you</a>!</b><br />
<br />
<b>A:</b> You got me,  that wasn't really a question, but I didn't want to leave out info on this cool new section!<br />
<br />
<b>Pro World is actively seeking feedback from YOU!</b>  Got an idea to make the Pro World site better? Have a suggestion for a new service they should offer or a product they should carry?  <b><a href="http://www.t-shirtforums.com/suggestions-ideas-pro-world/" target="_blank">Let them know what's on your mind by posting your suggestions for Pro World in their Suggestions and Ideas forum today</a>!<br />
