@josephj11 I noticed that some users are often unfriendly. They need to make more allowance for different computer abilities and language skills. When one is an expert, it is hard to remember how hard things were at first.
I see far too many duplicate feature requests, but although it annoys me, I usually respond with a link to the appropriate thread and a tip on adding search to a panel.
The Advanced Forum Search also has a learning curve.
Pick the right search term
Filter by forums
Limit the time span to six months or less.
Try different search terms if the first gives too many pages of results to be useful. The above search finds a relevant thread at the top of the second page.
The settings search is pretty good: "focus" would have found the result quickly.
Documentation will always lag behind developments and is often not read by new users. Writing good documentation is not a complete waste of time, but it should not be a high priority. One learns more quickly from forums; often getting several routes to the same answer.
