Default New Post Confusion

We still get a lot of newbies that enter the forum and have no clue how to make a post. This is why we've seen all these crazy posts in the articles (now disabled). I added on the main Site Menu, under "Add Content" New Post - How to. When people see the Add Content menu, many seem to think that this is where you add content to the forum...perhaps a little misleading to someone who has never seen a forum before. Hopefully this will help guide the forum newbies a little...whom by the way could be orchid experts!

Good idea! Between changing the home page to the forums and this, it should be easier for the newbies.
