What is a Resource?

Hi Jim, The Forum is a good resource for needed information. If you have a subject you want to get some help with, enter the topic in the search block here and you will get most posts stored on that subject. Last week I had an issue with some new MTH gates I purchased. When tested, they didn't work right out of the package. When I asked for help, I received a number of posts on that subject. I was a able to use that information to decide my next option. I hope this answers your question. Bill

I have to admit that in all the years I've been involved in moderation and tech support for this forum, I have never used the "Resource" option. I don't know what it does, how to use it, or where it is displayed.

I'll try to find out.

Well at least I am in "good company".

Please let me know what you find out.  Thanks!

Here's my answer from Rosemary ONeill at Crowdstack:

A "Resource" is what we used to call "Clips." So it's any type of file or media (you can upload it and give it a description, comment on it, organize it into 'sets' etc.)...

There ya go.

Appears to be all the stuff that gets uploaded here

GAD!  I never knew any of that existed!
