I think a lot of us feel like Newbies all of the time because we are not programmers by trade. I have read some very complicated posts on here and just cringe 'cause I feel way out of my league. I have no programming experience nor am I a graphic designer. I'm book and tutorial taught and a "trial and error" kind of girl. I find more stuff I don't know each day which adds to the eternal feeling of being a "Newbie."
On the positive side, most of us here are not intimidated by a challenge (we wouldn't have bought X-Cart if we were!) We rely on you all to help us through and get us up to speed. I like many others just keep plugging away at it until something clicks! Most of the time it's after the fact and hopefully we can help someone else later with the easier questions leaving the more complicated ones for the moderaters.
We are all Newbies at some point, some longer than others. I think that the advancement of our forum status is by the number of posts not by actual experience. It can be misleading. I followed a post by a more senior member and needless to say the results were not positive. I think spending some time on the forum each day just following the dialogue is more helpful in determining who is an eXpert and who isn't.
Thanks again, you two,good night!
