good points. We've culled the topics down and reorganised them several times. Even getting rid of topics that I think are useless (Steller Media and Stars for example!) generates a lot of objections!

Whatever about the topics there is the need for a friendly introduction to the forum explaining how it all works somewhere obvious.

My 2 Cents:

It might be a good idea to put a line like
'Beginners start here!' or ' Beginners, Please read first!'
which is a link to the 'Beginners' section of the Boards.

It might help new members if above the 'Introductions' post
there was a sticky - ''Newcomers / New Posters - Please Read First''
which had a clearly bullited list of usefull starting info
(discussed above) to give the newbie a clear picture of how this place works....

Well, thats my 2 Cents!

I think that's a reasonable suggestion Frank.
