Amber 682 expessed concern that new members were getting confused as to where to post, so I thought I'd make up a list. So as not to be annoying, I'm only going to post it in the Adult category for now and if people think it's a good idea I'll post it in all the other categories as well. Of course, this wouldn't work unless it was a sticky topic, so the moderators can choose whether to make it stay at the top or get lost in obscurity. Or, maybe the new programing wizard Ennio can make a new eye-catching thing for new users. Anyway, I don't visit every part of the site, so I might make some mistakes with the descriptions, but just let me know if I do and I will correct them if the list actually gets used.

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=5">Adults</a>: This is really just a general area for everyone to congregate. If you want your post to be seen by everyone, post in here.
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=1149&forumid=1">Adults with CF</a>: If you have CF, and want to talk only with other CFers, then this is the place to post. Perhaps you need to vent about the non-Cfers in your life, or you may have a rather graphic question and you do not wish for any non-CFers to distress over it.
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=22&forumid=1">Transplants</a>: Are you on a transplant list or have you received a transplant in the past? This is a place for transplant-related support and information.
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=902&entercat=y">Newly Diagnosed</a>: It can be different for those who are diagnosed later in life rather than those who are diagnosed at birth. If you are stuggling with a recent diagnosis, this may be a good place to find support.
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=1151&forumid=1">Pregnancy</a>: If you have CF and are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, then this is the place for you!
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=6&entercat=y">Families</a>: This is the family portion of the site, generally not as harsh as the Adult category, but still full of information. Use this category especially if you have a child with CF or if you just found out you are pregnant with a CF child and are looking for support.
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=1150&forumid=1">Partners</a>: This is an area for those who are close to someone with CF, but do not have CF themselves and only want to talk with other non-CFers. Perhaps you need to vent about a CFer in your life, or perhaps you have a problem which you know CFers won't understand.
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=903&entercat=y">Nutrition</a>: If you are looking for information on the nutritional needs of CFers, this may be a good place to start. This is also a good place to share some great high-calorie recipies!
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=4&entercat=y">Teenagers and Young People</a>: High school can be rough. High school with cystic fibrosis can be impossible. Here teens can rely on each other for support, or just vent about all those obnoxious adults!
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=17&entercat=y">Off Topic</a>: Need a break from cystic fibrosis? Or perhaps you have a good joke to share! This is generally a place of curiousity and laughter, so take a seat and have a good time.

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=19&forumid=1">Religion</a>: Struggling with God? Have questions about faith? This is the place for you. Or perhaps you have a great testimony to share! What has God done in your life?
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://forums.cysticfibrosis.com/categories.cfm?catid=20&forumid=1">Stories, Artwork and Photos</a>: Share your creativity!
