She also oversees new contributor intake, creates contributor newsletters, and manages SA's author database.

]]> New Contributor Forums http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/237202-michal-slawny/195378-new-contributor-forums?source=feed 195378 SA Contributor Forums. Their purpose is to provide a place that will help you get rapid answers to questions, pick up tips, share ideas and experiences, offer suggestions to us and other contributors, and find out about what's changing on SA so you can benefit from it.

The Forums aren't a venue for solving serious problems. If there's something you're upset about, contact us directly so we can chat directly and personally. Interactivity on the web is a great thing, but it's notoriously bad at solving issues that have become emotional. 

The Forum software is open-source, but was elegantly customized and integrated into the SA website by Asi, one of our tech team leaders. He did an outstanding job.

We're just getting started, and are interested to hear your thoughts. Please let us know if there's something else you'd like to see in this space - after all, it's for you.

You can access the Forums by going to your Author Board and clicking on the "Forum" tab next to "Earnings & Stats."
