All of your Frequently Asked Questions. After a question has been asked more than once on the forum (or maybe a few dozen times) we will add it here in the form of a question.
If you would like to add new FAQs please follow these guidelines:
- Create the page title in the form of a question without the question mark
- Keep your answers simple
- Redirects are acceptable and encouraged for questions such as "what is the board index", please do not add this category to redirect pages.
- Questions may be posed in multiple ways. Use a redirect to the most "correct" form of the question or simply redirect to a documentation page
