This sticky contains links to previous threads where commonly asked questions have been addressed. It's not all-encompassing, or intended to stop anybody starting new threads, but hopefully will save re-inventing the wheel too often.
If anybody thinks other threads or links should be added in, please post them below and I'll take a look and if appropriate add them to the list with my thanks. Also, don't forget there's an excellent "sources of information" sticky on tech-log.
Safe testing,
