Did you actually read the Op or you made a preempted post. The Op didn't say "Hi I'm a newbie".
Besides, not every newbie is new to the forum. Some newbies are alts of the established members and I don't think those with experience of this forum will make a scanty welcome post like Op. So, when we sense a genuine newbie (I am not vouching for Op), we should treat them with leniency.
Op, take the links posted by HONDACD125 seriously and enjoy the forum.
I agree with you about the new newbies, not all are new and I got that when newbies started doing things that I never did when I first joined the Forum and is not bad to have an alt, is it?🤔 Is really good to have some new faces around here but the issue is turning the Forum rules and regulations upsidedown...all the same good to have you here OP.
