Jkay Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi folks. I post this once or twice a year ... you come in here looking for info but you're not familiar with the layout of the place, and it seems like a big maze. Maybe you find a sub-section you are looking for and start reading .. but consider this: almost everyone comes here looking for one thing, but if you only look for one thing, you'll never know about some amazing off-brand or model you'd never heard of. In short, you don't know what you don't know! How can you look at everything people are talking about, without trolling through every forum? the View New Posts button! If you click it, it will show you every topic posted today, or the last week .. You don't have to navigate the forum, and you are instantly shown what is a hot topic of conversation. It's in the upper right corner of the screen .. try it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased it wasn't a snake Although I have spent many, many hours just trawling the forum...........just because it's here, & just because it's awesome! And you are dead right about finding brands, etc. I've discovered, & am continuing to discover plenty, so thanks again. DSC01603.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Nice tip, but more useful are Toad's 'Hey Noob' guide & our own RWG 'forum rules!', both pinned atop the main Introduction/Rules/Support forum. That forum should be your 1st stop when arriving at RWG as it contains answers to most of your questions & will reduce the likelihood of your making the most common mistakes (like asking 'What is the best............?', which is addressed in the Posting section of our rules).
