Why are there three threads?

Question

Just out of curiosity why are there 3 threads titled A Beginners Guide to Spanish Dict, it seems a bit confusing to me.

Answer 1

There are certain sub-sections of the Guide, each which has "The Beginner's Guide to SpanishDict"

However, I think the guide needs to go.

1) With new SpanishDict, it's not really the same. Is it?

2) All my pictures are gone! I probably should just start over with a new image hoster.

3) I don't know if it's that helpful. Does anyone really use it?

I think you have made some wondeful contributions to SpanishDict Sonrisa This one may need some treaking to make it more usable in the new Beta version but I am sure it will be very helpful to new members :) - FELIZ77, Feb 1, 2012

We did give the link in replies to quite a few "newbies". :) - pesta, Feb 1, 2012

I added a suggestion on the "beta suggestions & bugs" thread, to include a link to a beginner's guide (likely yours!) at places used by new members, right after they sign up. - pesta, Feb 1, 2012

I've been using photobucket.com for my images. As far as I know, they have no policy about them deleting images, whatever their age. - pesta, Feb 1, 2012

Jenna, your "easycaptures.com" image hosting site includes this in their policies: "EasyCaptures.com reserves the right to remove user submitted content without prior notice and for any reason, including excessive bandwidth useage." Ha!! :) - pesta, Feb 1, 2012

- that explains why your images are missing. No reason. They just felt like deleting them. (wow!) - pesta, Feb 1, 2012

Oh, jeez, I guess this teaches me I should probably read the terms and policies :red: - SonrisaDelSol, Feb 1, 2012

Thanks, Feliz and Pesta, for everything! - SonrisaDelSol, Feb 1, 2012

PS, Pesta, it's "Jessa", jeje :) - SonrisaDelSol, Feb 1, 2012

I think your section is fantastic. It is really useful. Thanks for doing it and I hope we can still use it. We really need it. - sanlee, Feb 1, 2012

Answer 2

I guess only SonrisaDelSol can answer this one...

I noticed two of them have an image link to

http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/582/2406703276.jpg

But the image is not there any more. I don't remember what it was, but I think it was a short sentence in a glitter-text font.

Answer 3

I agree with pesta, I have also included the link on my threads, and it should be added to the rules on the new site.

You rock, sonrisita

I was looking it up to give a link to a newbie that made me realise there are 3 separate links :) - MaryMcc, Feb 2, 2012

Answer 4

Overall I think it is a really good idea to have a guide. Maybe as you say it needs revising for the new site but you did a pretty good job on this one. The only reason I queried it was that being in three parts may lead a newbie to think they have all the information they need when they have only read art of it.
