Y'allo there!

I am officially person number ten to look at the "How to do a Sea Salt Soak" post in the Knowledge Base. *Pretty silly, considering the importance of the soak. *Since so many people come asking about the normality of bruising and bleeding (officially person number twenty-eight to read the article about what to expect) and healing time (offically person number twenty-nine), it occured to me that making the Knowledge Base more noticeable might cover repeat questions and help folk get instant answers.

How might one go about that? *Adding a link to the General Post that shows up in every section of the forum, perhaps, or adding a whole new topic that shows up in every section of the forum?

Thoughts.


- Boom

I tried making it a FORUM...isn't that enough? *No, obviously...I'll see what I can come up with.

I'm not disparaging the forum; it's obvious how much I enjoy being here, reading and posting, asking my six and a half million questions. *I've just noticed that that a lot of the questions are about stuff with basic answers because folks don't know to or don't bother to explore the site.

The forum is utterly necessary. *I'm sorry if I ever seemed to say otherwise. *The previous post I wrote was meant to be totally flippant and in good humor while pointing out something that I think should be changed.

Yeh....well, while we are working on it, and while a handful of people notice it, this is common....people seem NOT to notice what is right under their noses!

IF you or anyone else has any other ideas to make it more noticible....we're open!

Boom- I meant that I made an actual "forum" in the forum list, that's actually a link directly to the knowledge base, nothing else...sorry, it was a kind of snarky post. *But Bird's right. *It's like the rules. *No matter how much you shove it in some peoples' faces, they're just not going to see it.
