I'm a new member...
To be honest the site is a little bit difficult to navigate around. A lot of the time the posts seem just to be chaos. Maybe I am looking for more obvious TEK's and grow diary's. Maybe different and obvious sections for other drugs, cactus, DMT and what not. But lets just keep it psychedelic, shall we.
I don't need to see twenty different ways to make a still air box, just one simple beginner way in a sticky with an obvious title. Then we can get into modifications in another thread.
If I am still having problems reading around the site I will probably just buy a couple of books and take it from there and watch you tube.
The dark background and light writing would be easier to read the other way around.
I'm sorry if this comes across bad or criticizing, it is not meant to be, I'm only trying to be helpful.

To change the layout and colors you hit the "Account" link under your user name on the top left of the page, then go to display preferences and there are options to change the "skin"
I feel like we could definitely put some sort of post/guide together to make the forums seem less chaotic and more beginner friendly

Uhhh there is....go to the top > click community > click message board > pick whatever category you want....the pub is meant for chaos so if all you want to do is grow then you should just stay in the mushroom cultivation section....welcome to shroomery! 
Ps. The mudroom cultivation subforum does have stickies for beginners

been here awhile. i think the site is good on desktop. i wish it was a little better on mobile. a little refresh/redesign would probably liven up the community.

I joined awhile ago. Left & came back. Then left & came back. It can be a bit rough for women. I wasn't used to complete strangers calling me a whore & having compete threads about it. No one should be used to that. Now I know who & where to avoid. It sucks. It's not like regulars don't know..and it's acceptable Not cool And in the beginning i was only in cultivation threads trying to learn.

lol i think it needs a more responsive design and a mobile-friendly UI.
something along the lines of reddit would be nice (without being as shitty as the reddit mobile app).

Does Shroomery advertise itself on trusted vendor websites? That would attract people, advertise a place to share ideas and learn while they are already searching for supplies.

I’ve only used the mobile version. The desktop version feels foreign to me. Love the mobile version tbh, but it’s likely just because it’s what I learned first.

It's an open-source forum, it comes with the territory. I'm glad there's a place with this sort of primary-source raw data. Every "compiled" source of mush information I've used, including some of the teks people post here, has either steered me wrong in some significant way or simply not matched my situation and goals. Pushing the knowledge envelope is never going to be a clean-cut process.
But I do understand how you feel, I was once there myself. Kind of a bit like this (spoiler alert):

Make new shroomery business cards except make the link on it go to the serious hurtful insults thread. It'll tuffen em up.
