There’s a new site that might get you an answer quicker that you can say, arrrrrrrGGGGH! to a SolidWorks VAR. It’s a new take on Tech Support from Ben Eadie of SolidMentor called SolidJott.

Ben says it’s simple and it is. You sign up and type a question. You don’t need a SolidWorks Serial number either. Will this make it more popular? The interface is like Twitter, but better because comments are threaded, you can add ratings and put tags on your question.

The only thing you can’t do is upload images or model files. That’s one advantage the SolidWorks forums have right away this, but if you want some quick help with some regulars from the forums already showing up, take a look.

Can the SolidWorks community handle another place to ask questions? Is this a better method?

Actually you can add pictures and SW files if needed. First do the text and hit submit. Then you should have a edit link at the top of the post. Click it and you will be taken to a more detailed editor to add pictures and files. I have tested for the pics and all is well. I still have not worked out all the bugs for file submission but it will come as soon as I can find some more time to code

Cool Ben, thanks for clearing that up. Cool that you switched to the Disqus commenting too!

I think we are at the limit for me to chase down/post/answer questions. I believe that the "Big Four" of SW Forums, Solidmentor, Eng-Tips and comp.cad.solidworks should have been enough. Although, SolidJott does have the nice ability to tag which can help immensely in sorting through the heaping piles of questions that will come up.
