In the meantime, the faq on the PG site will give plenty of questions to start with. It is logical to assume that most people check there first to get their answers, but having done that myself, I can testify that the answers seem to assume that you know more about the program, than a novice would know.




Would that more would use the FAQ.

For one thing, I don't think people know how to access information quickly on a webpage FAQ by hitting ctrl-F and typing a keyword or phrase into the Find box. Even though the directions on how to do that are right at the top of every pgmusic FAQ page.

I was around when the FAQ page was started and it is indeed an attempt to cover most often asked repeat forum questions. It does a pretty good job of doing so IMO and I often answer forum questions by cutting and pasting from that FAQ page.

There is never going to be a situation where a program as intense as BIAB will allow instant gratification to a new user. Can't be done and still provide the level of complexity available, which, incidentally, is there more due to user wishlists and requests than any other reason.

I've even had the link to the FAQ page in my dotsig at the bottom of every post on this forum for two or three years, but I somehow doubt the majority of people have ever used the FAQ page here from the amount of times we answer the same question. Sometimes within hours the same question pops up again and again.
