Basically this will be a collection of all the picks asking "HOW DO I- insert basic function here ?" (usually with the options IDK and PLZ tell me in commentz) and my short answer to these inquiries. Now that we have the new risposte feature they are usually postato as an answer request but still repeated endlessly.
I usually segnala these kind of picks/answers and they get deleted as they are effectively spam. The drawback is: all information users leave in the commenti is lost.
link seems to only be used da a limited number of fan and though I use it frequently I hate how all information is Lost in the multiple pages after a while.
I found the officiallinkdon't cover all the basics as I usually like to refer people there.
Also this is in no way meant to rival the very well writtenlink which is much più detailed.
