I feel that i found the forum most useful when new members could post in the Beginners section. It gave them a chance to introduce themselves and ask any questions they needed, then the members would go and help and answer them in beginners chat until they were ready for validation once they proved they could act responsible on the forum.
Beginners chat and trials chat are slowly becoming the same thing now, so would it be easier just to remove one of them and just make a trials chat section and have a Q&A section thread within the trials chat so it saves making a topic just to get a question answered?
But if they are going to be merged then yeah i feel it would be useful to get a Q&A thread added in the section to save topics being posted just to get a question answered.
