Hey R2R community! Were you aware that R2R has a comprehensive library of articles? 711 to be exact! In-depth research and content from our resident experts, sponsors, knowledgeable community. You'll find topics ranging from fish and coral care, equipment and lighting, chemistry and DIY's galore! I personally built the auto frozen feeder from instructions found in the articles stacks. AMAZING! Thanks @WallyB!

Help me answer a couple questions R2R community:
  1. Do you find the answers to your burning questions?
  2. What content would you like to see?
  3. What would you improve if you had phenomenal article powers?

As an admin, I should probably know this --- but is there a sort feature for searching for a certain topic? I see the right column has filter, but if we could search for "idol" or "velvet" or something that would be nice. I like the sorting, that is great!

What would be really nice is if the “article contributor” badge could take you to a list of that persons articles, kinda like the buildthread badges.
This is a fantastic idea

Great thread. I did not know about this section on R2R.

I really like the idea of article contributor badge linking to their articles.
And search feature for available articles would be cool. Especially if you search in the current tool for a certain topic, and articles (if available) show up first on the list.

There is a wealth of knowledge in this forum, between the articles and the members that are R2R. I constantly look at the articles to learn as I have a saying that has kept me true...The More I learn The Less I Know...and the articles teach me something every time I read them.

@SMSREEF Glad the message made it to someone! Enjoy :)

The only challenge with this is if a person writes multiple topics, though It is possible though to link the badge to their profiles since there is a tab for articles. Adding this to the list of potential improvements that can be made.

Thank you for the feedback!

I've "searched" (dad jokes) high and low for that feature sadly I don't think it exists. That is one of the main suggests I've been hoping for beyond the general forum search. Filters is all we have for now though, I am thinking that the articles could be found with some better taxonomy... Stay tuned I'd like to figure something out there with the admins :)

Great thread! Two related questions: (1) what are the basic reef skills that people should have that they may or not actually have? (2) Is there an article that covers this information?

Are you saying there’s an articles tab on the profiles?

Argh... I was thinking of "Featured Content" in the Profiles. Adding that to the list of things I'd like to see changed :)
