Question: How do you know if content has been UPDATED or IMPROVED?

Answer: Click the Secret Magic Asterisk!

Update - now found at the bottom of each post

Every post has a "Date Created" date and almost every post has a "Last Edited" date.
(If you don't see an asterisk, then a post hasn't been updated... yet!)

The edit may have been done by the original author,

   ...or by a volunteer editor

       ...or by Wormy the Admin, or our "Lesson Formateer."

If you see a post that needs updated/fixed/improved, click the OPTIONS link on that post and select "REPORT." This will notify the moderator to look at it.

To "Follow" a topic you are especially interested in, click the BELL ICON next to the Topic Title.

This will send you an email notification every time a new "reply" post is added to that topic. To "unfollow" that topic, click the Bell icon to deactivate it.

I am a new member and I found this very helpful.  Thank you.

Glad that you found them useful, Jane.   Let us know if you have any questions. You can post questions about a lesson here, or general site questions here.
