Quick help
Feel free to suggest more categories. Post literally anything you can think of that will be useful to someone new. I would like to link each part to a post rather than explaining everything in one post. It'll be a lot cleaner that way so if you have a common problem and explanation for it, post it and I'll link it here.
Thanks,
