Hello all,

Over 95% of the mail I receive from non forum contributing members all say the same thing......I didn't know there was a forum, or how do I find the forums?......not everyone especially foreign speaking people are fluent in searching web sites......maybe the word "community" is too misleading?

Anyway.....thoughts on this anyone.

Everyone that needs information on this area, let's meet at my house. Bring food and beer. My area is Technology Education and I am not afraid to teach you everything I know. True story!

No smoking, dammit! lol

I agree with you Mikey...maybe it should state "Community Forums" as the header title on the main search page. :smile:

I think like I thought! at first..
forums.. met this is where you go to fill out forms.. to be on the site..lol
. I know but I never went in there at first.. as soon as you open it it states the rules.. boring..jmo....

. okay !! to answer your question on how to find the forums...
first you go through the door..
walk down the long hallway..
at the end of it you'll find a door to your left and right..
take the door to the right.
go up 3 flights of stairs..
. open that door..
walk down that long hallway.
there will be another door to your left and you're right.. take the door to your left.. go down 3 flights of stairs.. open that door.. now right across from you should be a big sign that says forums... go into that room... talk to him. He will guide you from there..
..hmm. may I help you..laugh drinker .
. you have arrived at the forums..

Curious and social people will eventually find it. I found the forums whilst navigating the site but I can appreciate how it would be difficult for foreigners.

Aw, Mikey, you are ever the helpful guy; and you and Criollo are great at welcoming newbies.

I even figured out how to go into recent posts. My query is that they change the topics intermittently and sometimes the threads are long and I have to come back to them, only to find they are gone.rant frustrated

Like wtf happened to the wtf thread cos that was funny.sad I suppose the moderators can remove them for space but how do you access older ones if you know the topic?

Hey Criollo, I'll bring the coconuts to your party. Let's get loco!!and party like its 2014. :banana: :banana: :banana:
As the go-to guy for technical info, can you please tell me how to modify the print etc and I am still trying to figure out how to post images, so any instructions will be gratefully received.
Cheers, brah!

Community, is actually a good name for this area of the site.
However, I agree with the posters who've stated, that the word
"forums", should be included.

I didn't know either that it led to the forums ...then it feels a little hard to get back to my post to answer someone... have not figured that one out yet ... and the blogs where not what I expected but thats ok to ...least the forums have mostly anything covered ...

The word forum still bothers me. When I was younger, a buddy and I would sometimes go to the old Bruce Lee theatre in Philly and spend an afternoon watching chop-socky films. One weekend the sign changed from the Bruce Lee theatre to the Forum. We went in to ask about it. Apparently it was now a gay porn theatre. Ever try to walk several blocks believing everyone is looking at you?
