Because I needed to look at some of these myself just now, and because there is lots of still-useful information there, I thought I’d post a link which may be handy for anyone else, especially newer members:
This is the top page of the Asking Questions section:
Yes, thanks Mike. There is a lot of collected wisdom and experience there that is worth keeping. It is fun to look through some of the old threads and see posts from current old-hands from back in the day when they were first learning.

Yes, and I think a lot of times, they were doing lessons just as they were hot off the presses, so to speak, and “road-testing” them for Aran and Iestyn.
I hope we can get all these treads ‘attached’ to the lessons on the new forum. I think it encourages people to ask questions if they are a bit stuck - they know others have had similar problems. We can all learn from each other. It is one of the best parts of the forum.
Thanks Mike - a timely reminder to me to update the FAQ page.
If you need to access the old forum now, you can find it under item 12 “What to do if i have a question”.
Having said that, reading the FAQ section has reminded me of how long ago the FAQs were written (For instance, when we were still operating on Wordpress), and how many time the page has been patched up, rather than re-written.
Thanks, Mike! The help forums really helped me out a lot. Most of the time, the questions I had, had already been addressed, so I didn’t even have to type anything out.
Does the new Discourse setup mean we might get something like the old forum ‘Asking Questions’ for each lesson back again?
I always found this really useful and I find myself searching for this thread with the links in from time to time. It would be great if it was pinned to the top.
at least to most questions.
