Some numbers for the week....

 

I wanted to let you guys know how many people signed up this week to participate in the forums.

3,849 new members have joined in the last 7 days. Since Christmas day we have been getting 10,000 visits a day.

I know that having a flood of new excited people can be overwhelming when they ask questions that have already been answered but when you look at the numbers keep in mind that it could have been much worse;)

Stay patient and understanding and remember what it was like when you got that box and opened it to discover that awesome new toy.

To our new members: Welcome to the POI Factory, it is so great to have you join us. One great trick on the site is to put your unit model into the search engine and see how many pages of discussions you will find.

It will be great getting to know all of you and hearing about your exciting adventures with your GPS.

Sincerely,

Miss POI

I think you hit on something important here and that is to somehow, either on the main page or send a note to all new users that the "search" box is the best way to find info, and probably alot quicker.
Is there a way to change the color of the "search" box, highlight it, make the box bolder or something to draw attention to it?? Fireworks would help about now!!! smile
