Actually, you really need to know what your doing to use the board's search function. You can really narrow down what your looking for if you know how to work it and that has some advantages but...

For newbies, I'd suggest the google search   (You need to Login or Register. You can get a ton of results from only this site and while not everything, it's much quicker and easier to get something if you're just wondering.

BTW - I reindexed and re-enabled the old forum and basic site search today. They are pretty useful too but they don't search this forum. There's a LOT of stuff all over. Personally, it amazes me that we still have anything to talk about that's not been covered before. Yet with new people comes new ideas information - old views change...

I don't mind questions directed at me through IMs and the like. It's just that I've gotten 80 IMs since the move (I think one or two may have even been move related). Then there's e-mail and the contact link... All I'm saying is that if you need help, ask - but if you ask me a difficult question I can't just assume was an FYI - It could be a while. Simple things normally get answered pretty quickly but some things just get buried so ask again if needed. The board is always faster if someone else might know.

Take it form me - you definitely learn more by answering questions than asking them around here. For the invisible people who just read, well, good luck with that path.
