Help & Tips Using the KH Forum

[PeteF]

Today I went to post a message regarding KH forum usage and
I was trying to select the proper forum to post in. It dawned on
me that there is no forum for help on using this forum. Please
consider adding a new Forum category in the "About This Site"
group.

We seem to need a place to post questions and offer
tips for how to use the Forum itself, separate from the
place we post feedback and announcements.

Some sugestions:
* Help and Tips for using KH Forum
* KH Forum Usage
* KH Forum Help

I agree with Pete. Under the "About This Site" group, something similar to a "KH Forum Help" category would be beneficial for users and would also help make the forum more organized. As requested, please consider this.

Pete, you may be right.

Perhaps all the latest rules/suggestions/advice
should fall under one umbrella to help users post to the
correct forum, in the correct manner, etc. Right now
they are spread throughout the KH forum.

On the KH Home Page, the following draws attention
to our Rules and Regulations:

Please be sure to check out Forum Rules & Regulations
under Announcements Forum before posting!

Mylanta's post in Announcement, Feedback, etc,
Forum, Sticky: Forum Rules & Regulations
addresses some of your concerns:

On Home Page, FAQ (top of page, 4th from
the left), you will find:

- User Maintenance
- General Forum Usage
- Reading and Posting Messages

In my welcoming message to new users after their first
post, I always include the following paragraph:
We encourage and appreciate suggestions and
comments about our relatively new board! Please post
them in the KH Feedback forum for the
immediate attention of our administrator and moderators.

However, the Feedback forum lists posts with suggestions
and resolutions, spread throughout the Feedback forum --
it's not a concise guide to help determine where and how
to post a message.

Good idea. It will be under consideration ...

at the very least we should include a "description" under each Forum title.
in this case, for example:

Post your feedback here, view KH Forum Help and Tips, etc..
