New Help Section was created by ubarose
Mr. Bolt suggested that we needed a help section on the site, so I stated one.
There is a Help link to the bottom menu. I put the three things that we already had that were instructions/help like into this section. I added a place to ask new questions. However, I can't babysit this section. I expect you all to help each other. New Questions and good answers may eventually get articles of their own.
If anyone wants to write some help files/articles, just use the Submit Article link in the user menu at the very top of the site.

Oh jeez, she's being formal (peeved?) . . . does that mean I have to call you Mrs ubarose?
Seriously though, I think it'll be a great help as the site grows further. I like the way you've implemented it so you can add any other info as and when needed/created. Looks very promising. New questions and answers could be added to a growing FAQ (for things that don't need lengthy explanations). And you've done it impressively fast, great job, thanks.

Writing some Help files is on my "to do" list. I also need to update the FAQ considerably, since most of it references the site as it was when we launched.
Most programmers, web people, and creative types are terrible about documenting things. We'll try to overcome that weakness. We do intend to grow, so eyes on the future is sound advice, uh, "Mr. Bolt".
Just don't call me "Mr B." because that will remind me of that TERRIBLE Clive Barker book, and then I will have to kill all of you.

Root Cause: User was hit with retard-o beam which interfered with ability to use a decimal point.
My BA changes it to:
Root Cause: Data entry error.

Er, which "TERRIBLE Clive Barker book"? You need to narrow it down considerably more than that!

I guess it's a single digit rating system forevermore. (And we all know which digit the Euros get.)
