.........I'm posting this on  ALL the forums and maybe it will help our new guests be not quite as lost :) 

 Welcome to Mpix, I know a lot of people click on the forum button and end up in this one first so thought I would take a moment and help guide you....esp if you're wondering why your questions might not get answered as quickly as you might like .... you might just not be in the right area :)

Ask Rick ~ a great forum to ask questions of the fabu Rick Sammon

Digital Photography -Subforum(s) Tutorials ..the Digital Photography section has great Q&A's to all things regarding digital photography and the equipment, post processing, etc....the Tutorials section is, well, just go there you'll learn a TON!!

Photo Sharing Subforum(s) Photo Critiques - these 2 are pretty easy to figure out....if you want to SHARE and not be critiqued then pop your shots in Photo Sharing....only post your work in Critiques if you're open to having them looked over and not only praised but critiqued as well. It's not for the faint of heart and if you post there...don't get mad when people try and help you out please!

Mpix - Information and etc on Mpix and the Mpix guys. They created this forum for us so please mind your manners!

Film Photography - Love your old skool film camera? Well here you go, this is the place for you!!

The "Business Side" of Photography - Ask your business questions here, leave your answers, share your thoughts....we all help each other grow and learn here.

General Discussions Subforum(s) Mpix Forum Meet-Ups - GD is where you'll find me the most...lots of just good ol' regular discussions about everything...our lives, families, funnies, work, play, etc.... Mpix Forum Meet Ups is where you'll find information on various meetups we're having all over the world.

Have fun. Respect and you'll be respected. Please don't dis the Mpixers or Mpix on here. We're a big welcoming place and love to meet new 'togs all the time. Don't be shy, stop by General Discussions and introduce yourself!

Hugs to all.... KarmaPink ;)

nada...I know it gets confusing when you first come here and the first thread everyone sees is ask Rick...but they may not have a clue who Rick is and know that it might be a while before anyone answers...trying to help :D

Hey, Mpix guys (who I know read everything LOL)....maybe there can be a way to change Ask Rick to Ask Rick Sammon or something that might make people know what that particular part of the forum is for? Just a though. I'm always trying to check in there in case there's a post that's just sitting there so they don't feel unwelcome.

 I think it would be a good idea to sticky your posts in each forum too!

thanks Vikki...maybe the Mpix guys will see this (or maybe I'll get off my duff here in a few and post the request in the Mpix forum)

just a'bumpin'

I'm new here.. thanks for the ideas...I was confused when I first posted here today..

Thanks Pinky !

BTW...I've noticed some "not-so-newbies" posting photos in the critique section but not telling anyone what they want critiqued....it is always easier and you don't get those "love it...this is great...nice work" but actual critique....just a reminder
