Forum URL: (private) Some of my prospective members have never seen a computerized bulletin board.
What pages will teach them the basics? Basics like:
registering, logging in, what they see after finally logging in, choosing a board to view, what to do with a list of posts, scrolling, clicking on a post, replying to a post, starting a new thread
None of these topics is obvious; together they create a high hurdle for my members. Try to imagine the strangeness of our world for those completely new to it. Fred Hansen

I've thought a bit more; learning proboards may not be that difficult for users who already are accustomed to email. Reading posts is very similar to reading mail.
I do think that some effort should be devoted to separating help files intended for administrators from those intended for users.
