Engage with Users

Make sure you’re engaging with the community! If you have a question, an answer to a question, or an interesting bit of information to add to a discussion, make sure you speak up! If you find a discussion interesting, give it a like! You can also tag (@) other users in your posts if you’d like their advice specifically. The more you give in the community, the more you’ll get out of it.

We also have a section where all unanswered or open questions are consolidated, and we encourage members to check this board out if they’d like to lend a helping hand to their fellow community members. While the StarTech.com team will be regularly active to monitor the community and answer questions, if you check this board and see a topic or discussion you can contribute your expertise to, we’d love to hear from you!

Stay Connected to Your Top Interest Categories

If there is a particular discussion board or topic you’re interested in, the bell icon within the discussion board will allow you to follow the category so that you’re kept up to date on all activity.

Share Your Ideas

Many of our products have been developed based on feedback from our customers. The Idea Station forum is a great place to let us know what you’re looking for from your connectivity products, and what new products you’re hoping to see StarTech.com launch. We value your feedback and will regularly be reviewing your top submissions, so jump in and start sharing ideas!

Search, Search, Search!

If you have a question or are interested in a specific tech topic, search is a great way to quickly get a bird’s eye view on all related discussions and articles within the StarTech.com IT Pro Community. We recommend using search before posting a discussion or question to check if a chat has already been started around the topic.
