This forum has been up for a little ofver 7 weeks and is already about 15 pages of threads. There's a lot of material here to guide the new V3 user or advise the prospective buyer. It rapidly becomes more stuff than can easily be tracked by just browsing the thread topics.
I find that the forum search tool works really well. If you click on "search" (at the top of the forum, right under the V3 control box picture), you can then fill in a work or phrase you want to search for. If you fill in more than one word and you want the exact combination of words only, just select "exact phrase" from the drop down box. You don't put anything in the "search authors" box unless you are looking for stuff from only one author.
Next you choose the forum you want to search and the time span. You can also choose to display the result as individual messages or a complete threads.
Using search will unlock a real wealth of information on any topic which has been discussed.
Another fun thing is if you ever get curious about what else a particular poster has said previously on a subject. If you click on their forum id at the top of any of thier messages, you get an option to "show all posts". Sometimes it helps you understand where someone is coming from.
Most everyone here wants to be helpful and to learn and share information. When you want to know something specific, it's always a good idea to see what has already been posted on the subject. Kind of good forum manners.
It's also good manners to be a bit patient when someone asks a question which has already been asked many times before. I recently failed at that and for that I apologize.
