This thread is a selection of posts that signpost you to other useful threads, sections of the site, and even useful external websites.

I'm going to keep adding to this, but if you spot anything you think is useful please let me know and we can add it. If you want to start a poll about something and aren't sure about how to do it let me know. Also, if you have any ideas about anything you think would be useful, or you would like to see, please let me know - I normally respond to PMs in less than 24 hours.

Thank you!
