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is out of date, and the Store will give you the latest available info.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.
