An SR section is a good idea. I'm a newbie and when I do searches most of the time I get like 5-10 pages of threads, and that makes it easy to overlook info especially when your going through page number 4. When you reach a certain point you get tired and your concentration isn't that sharp anymore.
I noticed that alot of people on the forum are "flame-horny" dammit most of the newbies don't know that they should use the search button first and when they post even a simple question instead of telling the person what to do(I learned it the hard way
); bammmm flames all over the place.(And you all know what I'm talking about)
What's the deal do you think your cool when you flame someone??
I don't remember when I registered but it would be a good idea to include in the confirmation email to do a search before you post anything.
