My ultimate question--is Forum Help allowed to be used for asking questions about the forums? Better yet, are those types of questions encouraged to be asked on forum help
While we certainly would not rudely turn someone away who asked a "how do forums work?" type question on this thread, it really is not what this thread is for. And as those types of questions are often just as easily answered by members of the community, and not just F Mods, either General or W & F would be a more appropriate place to post those.
