Got a really late start today, but did some work on the site design,
and added a couple of how to's for you all. Hopefully the site menu is easier to see now.
Also, if you look to the right of the forum areas you will notice a little module titles Status Updates. You can use this for exactly that. You should only have to use the Captcha once, then you can keep posting. You also have a PRIVATE Chat at the bottom of the Forum index, which you can pop out and chat, IF you are logged in.
I will try and add more info tomorrow, on how to use certain tools, the share features, and more.
