Hi Folks,
Great News! Ian Somers has given us the green light to create a new Conference devoted to cataloging some of the threads, already posted, into topics which can be easily found via hypertext links.
This Conference is primarily for the use of newbies to research the topic of their question before posting to one of the current forums. Hopefully, this will reduce a lot of repetition and newbie questions taken more seriously.
This Conference should be treated as a read-only and not posted to. Most of the info on it will be simply URL addresses which you mouse click to open the first post of the thread. Then you click "Entire Topic" to call up the entire thread.
If you find something in someone's post that you want clarified, go to your Address Book by selecting "Address Book" from the More Options menu. Then put that person's forum name into the address book. Now when you reply to the post, their name will appear in the Attn: field and notify them when you post your reply. I haven't tried it myself but, in theory, that's how it should work.
By doing this step first you may get your question answered without needing to post the question as a new message.
Finally, Ian has asked that we come up with a Conference name. For example: Newbie Research Room or Hyperlink Heaven or The Topic Zone. C'mon get those creative juices flowing.
While you're at it, think of a brief description for the Conference Profile to describe how the Conference is to be used. For example: A Temple to enlighten Newbies to the ways of the IP Zen Masters.
Also, please suggest some topic names that we can sort the threads by. For example: Real Estate Agents, Renovations, Buyers Agents, Flipping, Wrapping, Refinancing, Interest Rates etc. PI is a vast subject that needs to be broken down into topics that make sense.
Regards, Mike
