Got Questions? Read Here!
Since this
forum is all about exchange of information and helping each other, its great to have a place to ask questions and
seek advice. However, a lot of the same questions are asked over and over again, when the answer is only a click
away if you know where to look. In fact, a huge majority of questions would be answered right here if you take the
time to read about what you've just spent your hard-earned money on. :)
So, I figured I'd start this thread,
where anyone can learn something about how to research the forum for information. There's more here than you can
imagine, if only you poke around a bit.
The first place to look is here:
(all links go directly to the page
described)
**The Pherolibrary**
There is a huge amount of info there,
including a great Newbie FAQ This should be required reading
before any first post since it answers just about any basic question a new user might have. After reading that you
should make time to read through the
Cookbook. Its an excellent introduction
to starting up and getting results.
Also in the Library is the
Product Guide, which has links
to specific information on individual products, including contents (when available), carrier, application and combo
suggestions, etc etc.
The next stop in your tour should be the
Product Table, which is in spreadsheet form and is
a quick reference guide that can be printed out and easily referenced on-the-fly.
Also among the stacks are a
list of Abbreviations, a long list of links to
Pheromone Research, articles such as
What are Pheromones?,
Using the Newbie Kit and others.
If that's not
enough, over by the vending machines there is the
Introduction section where you'll find
invaluable info on specific Pheromones, like
Androstenone,
Androstenol,
Androsterone, etc etc. Want to know which
Pheromone does what? Look here.
It should be obvious at this point that simply by doing a little reading you'll
find all the information you can handle. In fact, you can find out just about anything you want to know just by
clicking on one of the dozen links above. I'm not exaggerating!
Next place to look is:
**
The Love-Scent Store **
This should be obvious but the Library info sometimes
is out of date, and the Store will give you the latest available info. While you're there, you can pick up a bottle
of that SoE you're almost out of. :)
Next up, the
Search Function. Looking for something
specific? Use the Advanced Search and you can filter and sort your search by a number of parameters. I've used this
tool many times when I wanted some member feedback on a product or combo.
The point of this post is not to
discourage questions. As a group we're a good bunch, and have many, many knowledgeable and helpful members who are
always willing to post replies.
The point is to encourage new (and old) members to use the tools available for
your own research. The key to a good answer is an informed question. Be informed!
Last but certainly not least,
everyone who spends any time here should check in at this thread for some guidelines.
Forum Rules and Courtesy. Most of us needn't be
reminded, but its a good idea to know the very few and very reasonable guidelines for forum behavior. We're a
community, a pretty nice one at that, let's all keep it that way.
