Do people know how to register & use forums?

[Matthew]

I was just thinking that a lot of people on the net don't know alot about computers and might not know how to use a forum.

So I was thinking of writing a guide that shows people how to register and use my forums. Do you guys think that it could be a good idea or is everyone on the net a geek? :D

I agree - I was planning on having a site-tour flash thingy for my site, but I never got round to it...

Not really, most people know how to join, but don't know how to use most of the features in UserCP or the Calendar. :(

http://gamingforce.com/forums/ has a great help guide for newbies. I will probbly do something like that on my next forum.

If anybody does put one of these together let me know. I may be interested in buying something if its easy and clear.

i admin and help with tech support on an audio forum and i can assure you we not only get people who don't know how to use the forum but have actually only started the internet for this very first time. sometimes i will get a PM asking me how to post. which makes it a fluke they figured out how to PM me :)

so yes i think a guide is helpfull.

It's a great idea, but be careful not to patronise them.
