Perhaps create a Problems thread, and see what questions fill it ?

Many of the other message boards I have been on have some sort of "Website Problems and Help" forum. If we are trying to limit the number of forums, we don't have to create a whole new forum, but there could be a sticky thread.

People could post whatever problems they were having: creating an avatar, quoting somebody else's post, etc., and someone could help them. Rather than trying to guess in advance what people with very different levels of computer/internet experience and ability do and do not have difficulty wiith.

[quote:a42ad977a5="Bob"]Avatars confusing ?
Everyone new seems to have one, so it can't be that confusing

I've had to explain to several people how to upload your own. A normal avatar is easy. Uploading obne to the site can be confusing. But yeah, let's wait for people to ask.

Bob's and Marcia's suggestion sounds good to me, actually.

I like the idea, as well. Once the problems start flowing in, I'm guessing we'll see what else needs to be explained in detail.
