Can an existing Sotonian get a tutorial please?
It taking me several minutes to even post this
Anyone can run the tutorial as described above.
Perhaps I’ll write a general overview of the screens and their layout.
Would that help?
That would be great when you have a chance, cheers
Take a look here and see if this sort of thing would help.

No video there! (At least on my mobile)
The video is there on my phone
Yeah, mine too.
@Bucks, the video actually looks like the forum itself.
Could it be that the video is there, but, because it looks identical to the forum, it looks like it’s not there?
Then (a) he is right, as I can now see the bloody video - thanks, and (b) I have called him much worse, but only to his face.
I plan to do a number of them, probably all much shorter than that, just to explain basic concepts to new users.
Will you do one to explain what a video is and how we can recognise one?
