Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2928350, member: 112"]It certainly is in my opinion. To a certain degree I think that problem has been solved by the title sakata chose for this thread - Beginners' Advice. To test it I just did a simple search of the forum using only 1 key word and nothing else - beginner. The result came up with 197 threads. If you use beginner advice as the key words the result is 147 threads. If you use advice as the key word you come up with 191 threads. All three of which are easily manageable numbers of threads for beginners to look at and narrow down their search for more specific information simply by browsing the search results. And I gotta tell ya, given that the search is encompassing 15 years worth of posts which is over 300,00 threads and almost 3 million posts - that's a pretty dang good result ! Personally, I don't think it can get any better than that. But the members of the forum can make it better simply by remembering that when a beginner comes along and ask a question that they can help that beginner by referencing threads to them that have the title - Beginners' Advice. And, by established members of the forum using those 2 words as the first words in the title followed by basically anything they wish when they start a thread on the subject. Such as - Beginners' Advice: Grading, or Errors, or Varieties, or, or, or. Do that and things become amazingly easy to find for just about anybody.[/QUOTE]
