A tutorial would be very nice. It definitely took me five days to figure out how to get to different forums without going through a message in the portal.
My searches, often as not, return nothing.
I spent about an hour trying to understand the whole reputation thing after I saw a post or two discussing it and got curious.
It's dumb things, but I've never encountered a forum laid out quite like this one, and though I don't mind trying to find out more, it's often not worth my time, especially during the build season.
btw - is there a way to mark threads you've posted in so you can see if people have responded, or do you just have to remember the name and hope that it will show up in the portal and/or a search when you come back to check? (ie now would be a helpful time for this feature) And please don't tell me to search. I wouldn't know what to use as keywords that are likely to show up, so that would be another useful tutorial to have.

Thanks all!
Oooh! *Grins* I bet it's this subscribe button here. So I know now, but I'm leaving the question in here as an example of the processes not mentioned in the "read these first" threads, so far as I could tell.
