    The thread for newbies to read first is a sticky thread pinned at the top of the forum.

    It is in capitals - designed to grab attention and be read before posting - and every post I make tells you (below) where to click to get there.

    So sad that we end up posting links to a sticky thread.

    It means this OP never knows how to go to page one and read today's threads (and learn from them) like we do.  Just a click away but this OP is keeping themselves isolated on little islands of their own thread and a link we give them to another one.

    That's not how to view the forum!

    Sadly, if we are having to do this by page 4 on a thread almost 3 weeks old, we may be dealing with a lost cause, at least as far as teaching someone how to browse the forum is concerned. It doesn't help with such poor forum ergonomics.
