Hi all,

As the person that tries hard to develop an easy to navigate website, I'm always keen to find ways to improve things.

Over the course of the last few months, I've read numerous threads where someone is asking how to access something, or how someone didn't realise that feature existed.

I'm concerned that I either haven't done as good a job as I originally thought, or is it that people don't try and explore the website?

You will see above a screenshot of the main menu bar and in the top right, your additional controls.

How many of you have hovered your mouse over those menu buttons to see what they show? How many of those have actually clicked on the link to see where it takes you?

...

Do you know, next to your name you can click on the drop down arrow to access more very useful settings:

Are you aware what these two icons are:

The left one is your Personal Messenger, showing new messages, click on that to access your messages.

The 'bell' is your notifications, which is a quick message to let you know about things going on around the board:

...

Do you know about the multiple settings on offer to you?

Have you explored the NOTIFICATIONS settings, where you can choose how and when the forums notify you of specific things?

...

Are you aware of the SYSTEMS menu which links you to features such as CHAT and GALLERY?

...

Did you know you have a CLIENT AREA? Accessed via the MY-STOC menu... it will provide access to any items you've purchased from us, orders placed and referral links

...

You will all now find a new option on the FORUMS drop down button:

Clicking on this will take you to:

As you can see, it covers every section of the website, but defaults to the 'Forums' tab.

I have highlighted in yellow the drop down box which you will need to select in order to filter your results, then click on 'update'.

................

If the answer to any of the above are 'no', I would please ask you to spend just five minutes of your time to click on the links, see where they take you, change settings to fit your needs.

ANY questions please ask in this thread and I will do my best to answer them.

ANY feedback on what you think doesn't work and how it could be improved, please let me know.

Regards

Jim
