i've been using BIAB and RB for years but got stuck a couple of times recently. live chat sorted me out. if you're stuck, try it if you need help.
the live chat from lots of companies is useless........i find the person on the other end often knows less than i do but PG is different.
i found it pleasing that the person on the other end was someone i knew from the forums. in one instance chantelle and the second was simon. thanks guys.
they do know their stuff and sorted me immediately. so try live chat if you need help - its fast and effective.

I agree, for most things it is a quick easy solution, with little headache
Thanks for adding this feature to the PGMusic site
While I can't make any guarantees, even after hours I have sometimes got a response fairly quickly, so worth a shot even then

Plus you get to chat with lovely people like Chantelle and I, so what's not to love?

I wasn't aware that with Live Chat you can leave an after hours message and receive an e-mail response the next day. Pretty neat and nice to know.
