Other (several) May 20, 2019

In no particular order, depending on my needs and wants on that particular day:
BB
Kudoz
Forums
Scam alert
Quick polls
Job postings would be my preferred feature if only rates for jobs offered on Proz were more suited to mine…

No doubt about it. My colleagues on KudoZ have saved the day for me many, many times.

There are three May 20, 2019

The Blue Board, the forum, and the scam alerts. All have been very helpful.

BB May 20, 2019

The Blue Board is the most useful I suppose.

But the polls are the most enjoyable, I look forward to contributions from certain members with a great sense of humour.

Other - several May 20, 2019

Blue Board - for potential dodgy customers
Kudoz - for the comradeship of the SV/EN crowd
Invoicing system - perfectly adequate for my needs
Forums - always check the ones that interest me

Almost forgot the job alerts. That's because I don't use them now, but they were invaluable when I first set out as a freelance translator five years ago.

Kudoz/Terminology help May 20, 2019

Kudoz/Terminology help is very, very useful. Next comes Blue Board. I like "polls" also. I don't use invoicing system. Job postings are extremely useful. Forums are very interesting. What do you mean by "scam alert centre". I never heard about it. Totally, I find Proz.com very interesting and it is my preferred website.

Kudoz: to stay trained and to help colleagues
