Index of Important Topics [PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING A NEW THREAD!]

Since we constantly see users starting new threads even when perfectly relevant discussions are already active, we’ve put together this index to help you find your way. This list is a work in progress; we'll be updating and refining it regularly. If you have any feedback or suggestions, just hit up the Health section moderators via private message.

Advice for members: Before you jump into starting a new thread, check if there isn't already a similar discussion here. If nothing shows up, try using the forum search tool. Only once you've exhausted those options should you go ahead and open a new topic.
