If new users do not understand that the Bitcoin Core node has to be fully synced before use the directions and warnings need to be improved.

Indeed.
I do not understand how do I synchronize btc core apart from executing bitcoin-qt, which downloads blocks until it stops and looks synchronized.

then again if I remember correctly I had problems installing armory, and had to do the trick I found in this Forum by unticking setting's option of "Let Armory Run bitcoin core in the background" and running bitcoin-qt to sync.

I am using latest armory release - I should have specified this in the first post, but I assumed the nature of the problem is different.

so now I think the problem is of the nature similar or exact even as here in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790203.0.

My Armory has not been able to manage the core nor sync with it in any way since the installation.

therefore I think my thread should be maybe renamed to:
"My 0.95.1 Armory has not synced with core since its installation - why?"

is it possible for Forum moderator to do that?
