I just wanted to weigh into to frequent questions/read the thread situation.

There are two sides to the situation. (1) Yes there are questions that get asked repeatedly and it can annoy people that they haven't searched for the answer before asking. (2) As the thread gets longer it can be harder for people to find the time to check the thread to see if they can get the answer.

The mods try and keep the first page updated with the information and answers to frequent questions so people don't have to read the whole thread. As we're doing this in our own time there can be delays before information gets put there. Also we can sometimes miss things.

Under the thread title there is also a bar with a number of options. One of these is search this thread. If the info is not in on the first page you can try this function to search for the answer before posting.
