Thank you for this informative post mingjkli. I have recently joined this wondeful forum as i use Google for translating from Chinese to English and Vice-Versa some of the context makes very little sense on the site. This post has most diffinately enlightened me. Cheers Buddy, :)

You're welcome!
Hope you enjoy here and we can try our best to help once I have suggested to keep the English instruction in "Outside the China"!

That was definately a great idea.. :)

I'm amazed as to why nobody has posted in this section...There are many English speaking users who cannot understand Chinese or use translation tools such as Google to get by..but they tend to post in the "Technical Exchange area" and receive replies in Chinese..Wouldn't be better for them to reply here.. Maybe less "advanced" members aid in this section.??

If i understand correctly you dont earn coins here, hence why english speakers post elsewhere to receive the extra coins.. Can i suggest maybe you can add the coin earning rule here also..Just an idea mingjkli..

On the further note, i will gladly help the newcomers who dont speak Chinese on this wonderful forum. I have great experiance with RIP, PREPRESS etc softwares, so can provide my knowledge, unfortunately to non-chinese speakers, since my Chinese is rubbish. Would love to learn the language :)

Mingjkli, on different note, can i apply to become a Senior member. I have figured the FTP download but as understood correctly i cannot download anything in the Senor section of the FTP. Unfortunately, most of the advanced software are on that section.

I have a small project and am in urgent requirement of GMG and Efi softwares..latest version preffered..therefore, cannot wait for my experiance to build up or post count to download..

:shame:

I understand that my post count is low and im less experianced on this forum but i can assure you mate, i can help many users on this forum, who request help and direct them accordingly. I can also make suggestions for the "Outside China Section" so we can receive users from all over the world..whos Chinese language is not great..

Let me know buddy, Mike

Thank you very much for explanation

Hi Mike, your suggestion is great but the fact is, here is a such Chinese forum and we had made an English section before but there is few people to get in and wasted som many rescource. At last we deleted that section and I feel very unhappy to lose some guys who cannot type Chinese. Therefore I suggested our boss to add this area here. So today you can still be here!

For the software you want to, as a friend here, I can ask my friend who may have it but you should wait because she is so busy at this moment. By the way, what kinds of GMG & EFI software you want. As I knew that there should be many.:haha:

Hi mingjkli, Again thank you for your reply..its very comforting to know your here to help. much appreciated buddy.

I understand now, i was a bit unaware of the history of this great forum..so thanks for the update.

As regards to the software, i need the following software from the FTP in Senior Zone

06.01.09 GMG ColorProof5025 (as i understand correctly this is latest version working)

and

05.24.09 EFI ColorProof XF 4.0

Again, mingjkli, you have been very helpful as always, and if you can manage to get the above softwares for me i will very greatfull to you. Let me know the soonest you can friend..

Either way, Thank you in advance. Cheers, Mike

PS: Happy New Year mate !!!

Hi mingjkli, Any news? Also can you please let me know wheter the PJ is included..Again thank you for your effort buddy..Mike

Thank you very much! You do great job!

Thanks mingjkli. I have also recently joined this amazing forum and I'm almost completely lost on translation...
It seems that are not too many chances for me to gain full access to ftp but maybe I'll get some help from the wonderful community of professionals in here..
Thanks people!

Actually if you didn`t have enough posts,you can`t use FTP in this forum.This is a rule in this forum,the intention is to promote the people to have more valuable post here.
So this is difficult for some foreigners.They may be totally lost in translation.Some of the question they might know the answer,but they didn`t know how to reply.So they can not get enough post to enter the FTP.
But the rule is equal to everybody,so I`m so sorry to tell you guys,we can not treat you different from the average chinese people.But we appreciate you to bring more new knowledge or experience about printing here.A lot of people in this forum can understand English too.So you can get enough post~

Thanks for the clarification Bloodsaler.I believe that nobody expects a special treatment so no worries friend...Happy posting
