Useful Links & Information

21-07-2014 1:01pmOk, the old 'useful links' thread had a fair amount of dead links & out of date information. I've gone through the old thread in its entirety, & consolidated the information within it into this new thread. As of writing this, all links are working & all the information is up to date and valid. Apologies if I put some of these in the wrong category, some of the links cover broad topics so just pm me if you feel something would be better elsewhere & I'll happily fix it. Similarly, if you have a new link that you'd like to have added to the list, pm me & I'll add it in
