You know, Steady... I've been wanting to write some how-to pages as well, especially for things like airshow shooting. And it occurs to me that one of the ways we all could publicize that kind of resource is to put a link to it in our signatures. At the bottom of every post you make, after the "Steady" line, you could put a Newbie tips for Forums" link.

Just a thought.

Hi Rodolfo,

It is a good thought too. I will check into it.

Thanks for contributing to the "positive" thinking here in this forum and in this thread.

You have THIS "Newbie's" admiration.

Hi,

A morning BUMP so more newbies will see this.

In just the last 24 hours, I have seen about 8 different threads posted by Newbies that could really benefit from the Newbie Tips I am putting together. So...bear with me...the Tips are getting more extensive and edited to help more Newbies and New Comers to FM.

When is the DVD due out?

Another bump

No DVD planned at all.

I don't have the time for that, or the desire to promote one.

But...thanks for the bump.

In the last few days I have gotten several nice PMs from people (newbies and lurkers) who have told me how they will soon be posting pics here. That is a good thing for everyone on the forum.

The "Tips on How to Better Enjoy the FM People Forum" page will be posted asap. I am still adding stuff to it to try to cover several points I see needed by recent posts.

8853 post since Dec.3 07, and you not having time...? Probably a daily avg of what, 30 or so?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww come on... You can give us a peek....

another bump.

I'm a newbie.

I love reading here - getting inspiration for photos, and reading the great feedback posted by many members. I especially love the feedback you provide to the photos. It's very helpful I'm sure to the OP, as well as those who love the hobby like I do.

+1 to Stickies. Every other forums I participate in uses them - this should be no exception.

Bump after 8 hours...still getting newbies and visitors and lurkers who would like to participate in the forum...

Can't let this thing set at the bottom of the page.

Got DVD's to sell...

6:00 a.m. bump

newbie here...afternoon bump

Aw man, you beat me to it.

I was waiting until 3pm, thinking to time the bump before this fell off page 1.

5:45 a.m. bump

Awesome, Idea.

Thanks.

And a bump for the evening crowd...

I have just received some very nice PMs from some good folks who are new to FM.

I will send you all a PM with link asap.

In the meantime, thanks for joining in.

I am also seeing a few new names posting here too!

Keep it up. The new members and the new posters will give us all something new to see.

Thanks for the threat Sticky - as a relative newbie here myself I appreciate it. I've found the site to be inspiring and have gotten some good feedback on my few posts so far. I'm hoping to get a new camera in the next month and then I'm sure I'll have lots of posts! LoL

What is a "threat Sticky?"



No threats intended here!



It gave me an image of people in an office space (like the movie) being threatened with pads of post-its.....

I am assuming that was just a tipo...er...typo.
