I'm going to be really nice, and point out that the answer to your question lies five threads down from yours. It's really easy to find, but I'm going to be even nicer and give you a link to that thread. You can find everything you want to know there.

Also worth noting that everyone should read the terms of service and admin announcements when they join the forum (actually, all members should re-read those as well). That announcements thread has a post on the forum ranks and links to the thread Handar just linked.

Thanks, Cloud, for asking this question. I've been on this forum for a couple of months and hadn't yet seen this list. I've had the same question, but I have not yet read every single page of the thousand or so pages there must be in this forum. As to other members responding to let you know they are being "really nice," I cannot opine as to the sincerity of their statement, but I can say that I would expect nothing less of every single person in this forum than to be very nice and corteous to each other. If the older members of CC forum don't have the patience to continue providing the same answers to us newbies to such questions as will undoubtedly be asked over and over, then they might consider just locking the whole forum for themselves and not allowing any new members in.

Hey,

Not sure why this came up again, but it gives me a chance to revise what I said before and say that people should check out the FAQ which was put together after that previous post (and in part in response to it). There are answers to all kinds of these questions.

The search functions works great for that, you can find it in the top right navigational bit. (not meant in a "really nice" way, but sincerely to help you find things like this more easilly)

Hmm, the tone of this bit caught me off-guard, I'm not sure what warranted that reaction. I do agree that Handar's post was a bit sarcastic, but since in this case the answer was really right there, I don't think it was meant in a bad way.
I've always felt that if anyone had a question, there's more than enough people that can and will help out. Sure if you're new you don't know where to find everything, that's natural, but honestly you'd be surprised how many people (not just newbies, mind you) are actually too lazy to look around, rather than unable to find what they're looking for. It's instances like that, that basically spark responses like Handar's (though I still don't see his reply as particularly mean), even on questions that were meant in a sincere way.

I don't think it's entirely justified to say CC's old skool members should just lock their forum to new members if they keep this attitude up. I haven't been around on CC for that long myself, so I know this community can be a bit difficult to get into at times, but if you really have trouble with something, there's always someone to help out. That's the way I've experienced it for the time I've been around.

^ Actually, mark it up to me just being a newb. When I read the reply in which someone wrote that they were being "really nice" by deigning to provide an answer to the original question, a very strong opinion immediately went from the back of my mind through my fingers and the keyboard. After I submitted it, I noticed that the date of the post was half a year ago, so I went back to delete my posting. However, I was unable to delete it because you had already made another reply. Sorry for digging up an old thread where it might not have been necessary.

Happens to me all the time. My tongue is permanently scarred from all the times I've had to bite it.

If you run into anything that you need help with, feel free to drop me a PM. I'd be glad to help.

Later,
Josh
