I not only think there will be a Christmas rush, but another in late February/early March when those that are buying now finally start to receive their Kindles. I would bet that there will be a few that have NO idea what a kindle is or how to use it (as easy as it is).

Harvey & Other Mods, I would like to suggest this for consideration: Could you pin something like "Animation For Avators, Etc" under what is now Tips & Tricks? This will help people learn how to place moving footers and use graphics in their posts. I think that would be a great place to have it parked. That way I know where to find it so I can learn HT do those things without having to search for it, being the lazy person I am  Cheers, Marci Right now we have two places for tips: The Tips, Tricks, and Troubleshooting board, for Kindle tips; and the Forum Announcements board, for KindleBoards forum tips. That board has a sticky which is an index to the tips and how-to's related to the forum. I probably should rename the Forum Announcements board, perhaps to Forum Tips and Announcements. |

Hi, Harv - Sorry! Somehow I have a hard time connecting "Forum" with "Kindle Boards" as a whole  Maybe you could do that? "Kindle Board Tips & Announcements" That seems more clear & concise. To me at any rate  PS, I love the the addition of "Troubleshooting" to Tips & TricksMarci |

Been thinking about this a little more. Am ready to implement some changes to get ready, just in case we do experience a 'post-Christmas rush'.
Note: I am inclined to *not* move the I&W Board to the top of the forum index. Here is my reasoning: if we get a lot of new people here post-Christmas, they probably got here because they have a problem or a question about their Kindle, and they googled about it and found us. The first thing on their mind will be to get an answer to their question, not to write a short intro or bio in the I&W board. I think we should cater to that, and in the course of addressing their problem we'll encourage them to head to I&W.
I have drafted a post that I'm going to sticky to the top of the General Discussions board - and I'll link to that post in a Board News Message that will be the first thing they see when they hit our main page.
I'll get those up in the next few minutes. I welcome your continued advice and guidance on how we best make our newcomers feel welcome and supported. I'm excited and hope we get a good showing!

Harvey, Amazon stole your idea. Here's the latest "Announcement". Great minds and all that  "If you received Kindle as a gift you'll need to register your new Kindle to your own Amazon.com account and specify your Default 1-click Payment Method to purchase Kindle titles. To help get you up to speed quickly, we've posted a very brief Quick Start guide that will help you get up and running. Please cut and paste the following link in your browser to go to the Quick Start guide. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200307510 " |

I couldn't wait for Christmas to post ours. At least Amazon waited until Christmas Eve!

Terrific Job Harvey - now maybe I can learn some stuff. This forum is awesome and there is so much to learn and read about here. You have a great team with all the kindlers. |

Thank goodness I got my kindle two months before christmas. (it was a very early christmas gift my mom knew she couldn't hide from me). Now I can help you guys with the rush...although my troubleshooting knowledge is limited to: reboot with alt-shft-r. if that doesn't work hard reboot by hitting reset button under the cover. If all else fails refer to someone else.

alt-shift-R, actually. Don't forget the shift! |
