Of course, we were on a different site at the time and although it was nice, it wasn't as intuitive as this one, it took me a while to figure things out. Making first posts for questions and not knowing where to go was anxiety filled (I am an anxious person though). My first post got responded immediately with a "double post" comment because the question had been answered somewhere else, or there was already a thread for it that I didn't find or couldn't see, because I had no direction. In general, the people here are very kind and welcoming, and just gently push people in the right direction. I would agree that the welcome and instructions could be higher on the list and have better viewing priority for new members.
