I too have often wondered why there is not a more obvious LINK to the great articles posted elsewhere on the site.
Barry or Jarred - maybe a link at the top or bottom directing newbies to the "articles" page. All that great info, not to mention sales potential going to waste on some. I know I surfed the forum here for a week or two before I found them.
Maybe the banner that's found on the index page at the top of every forum page.
