Question Is there a forum site navigation help/tutorial?

**Skodadriver** · 03-07-2018, 07:34 AM

This is me under the weather healthwise a bit wondering if there is a tutorial or sticky somewhere to help new forum members (and existing ones like me) that might be a bit lacking in ability when it comes to navigating the forums and how to interrogate them?
There are subjects/enquiries for help and advice that crop up in separate threads asking the same thing. e.g. What macro lens should I get?
It could be embedded in Welcomes and Introductions or Troubleshooting and Beginner Help or just added to the Articles and Tutorials.

Which begs my next question, are the Tutorials going to be given some sort of key to help users arrive at the Tutorial they need to see?

Apologies if this has already been discussed and I have not used the correct keywords.

I dont think there's a tutorial (so far as I know) but there are a few things that can help you. Firstly, the Advanced Search function is very useful for searching for particular things in particular parts of the forum. See Search Forums - PentaxForums.com
Have a play with the Advanced Search function and let me know if that works for you.

This sticky is useful too: Useful Pentax/Photo Resources, About - PentaxForums.com

And, of course, the tutorials: Tutorial Videos | PentaxForums.com

I hope you're feeling better soon!
