There have been so many "halp" posts lately that we really do need a sticky that encompasses what new members need.

Very useful post, I'm sure that this would help the new users.

Yes they made the sticky but it needs more information to be added to it.
Hopefully they will take information from this thread and add to it.
Ok ending spam now.
