You are right, Kari. But, in the Jerky section, there are several good ones, right at the top. The common theme, once you start reading them, is to cure your jerky. I believe Brian's point was that we constantly reinvent the wheel, so to speak, with regards to questions that have been answered countless times. Research, then post.
With almost 3,300 topics posted, and almost 33,000 posts, it's very difficult to consolidate only the "good ones" in one place! Unfortunately, that's the nature of the Forum format, as opposed to a recipe website.
In this format, using the Search function, in the section you are interested in, is a starting point. A new user then (unfortunately) has to put a little sweat equity into reading. If a question is posted, we generally link to applicable posts. Once the new member starts participating, they get to the answers pretty quick.
We have been kicking around a "quick start" kind of section, but nothing yet. It's very difficult to come up with only the "top" recipes, per section...who decides, and who might be offended because their "world famous" recipe was not selected to be on top? Any suggestions on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
