It's an uphill struggle. The forum is a haven for information, but forums -- in general -- lack categorization.
We do have a wiki which is growing slowly but surely, and we are attempting to move particularly valuable threads/guides to the wiki as quickly as possible (keeping in mind that most of us have somewhat hectic lifestyles and, while we love helping people out, don't always have hours upon hours to search for these things either). I think the best way to help minimize the problem is to contribute to the solution -- as a newbie, you have common questions and if/when you find answers, just take a few moments to jot it down in a wiki page. Even if the formatting isn't pretty -- someone can come in behind you and clean up the display of the page.
Even just taking a few moments to make sure your post is in the correct subforum is a step up to help information be more noticable. However, you'll realize the conundrum of creating a "mac" forum when your post about mac software fits under both the "software" forum (for software multiboxing programs on macs), mac forum (for your OS), and macro forum at the same time. We actually tried to use additional subcategories to seperate various forums and that was met with conflicting reviews -- most people just refused to use the categorization at all and everything ended up in the general forums and newbie forums regardless of content.
I also have a "guide to guides" which is essentially a crosslinking page. It provides LINKS to various valuable pages, wikis, and resources. If you haven't already seen it, it may help.
Last, but not least, there is a Mac section on the wiki but it is terribly lacking. I don't know how many mac boxers are around but I'd love to have your input on that page -- I have NO experience with macs. The software page in the wiki has a chart at the bottom that I've tried my best to update -- it has a column to specify mac/windows programs.![]()
