New subforum idea: Microscope buying advice
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2019 12:03 am
A decent fraction of folks come here initially for microscope-buying advice, my first post was of this form. When I came it was a bit confusing because there is one forum for microscopes and optics and another for beginners stuff. It was not at all clear to me where someone would come for advice about buying. The problem with beginners forums is that they are often filled with beginners. Other forums (at least in other forums I have been in) may get annoyed eventually by folks coming to ask for buying advice. Also, it would be a great place for shoppers who are not members of the forum to browse past advice. There are only so many questions to be asked on that topic.
Anyway, I think it makes sense. You might give it some thought.
