Wealth-Lab admins are active on this site and give rapid and accurate answers to questions from the group. There are many posts where the person answering/helping with the question refers the user to a specific help file. I have also noticed the same questions being asked multiple times.
To help users help themselves, how about features on the website that encourage users to self-help before posting a question:
1. Above sticky posts side bar place a Resources section with link to FAQs, a new getting started quide and the youtube channel. As a hack, there could be one or more sticky posts with the same topics.
2. Before the user submits a question, politely indicate the effort that Wealth-Lab has put into the help files and encourage the user to search the help. This could be in the in Start a discussion text entry dialog or somewhere near the start a discussion button on the /Discussion page.
3. A getting started section of the Wealth-Lab Desktop Software Home page.
It may be possible to measure the success/failure of these changes by measuring any change in FAQ page hits and #tag submission frequency changes.
