This exchange reminded me of a post I made about a year ago...
This is when I like to remind new builders of the wealth of information on the Forum. All builds are unique, but there are certain "rules" and techniques that pertain to most of the projects. A little time spent researching a topic can pay dividends down the road by saving both time and money. Members are more than willing to provide answers to direct questions and will offer suggestions if they notice something, but that depends on the right person being on line when you need help. This aspect of a community site is invaluable, but there are ways to exploit the already available information and focus your questions.
If you're new to the Forum, it's not practical to read hundreds/thousands of posts, but you need to read some to understand the lingo. Once you do, don't underestimate the power of searching the Forum for a particular topic. Granted, sometimes using the built in search function can be challenging, but it can yield good info.
Another option that works well is a direct web search. If you type the url site:community.fornobravo.com "indispensable tool" or whatever term you need in your web browser, you may get better results. Now, as with any search, the results depend on the people adding the content. In this case, you would miss posts with the misspelling indispensible. Also, the results of one search will lead you to search more focused topics.
IH123 Thanks for indulging me this public service announcement on your thread.
Looking forward to following your progress!
