There are 2 sub-forum which need multiple clicks to get in to finally be able to "Mark this forum read",
Is it possible to have it at the first step like the screenshot below?  

Especially this one [Installation and usage] as we usually have 1 OS and the other OS will look "non read" until we get inside.
   

The other one that bothers me [Extending the GIMP]  
   

   
I have an image of a crayfish on a white background that I want to make into a png. The main part of the background is no problem but around the claw area there are little white teeth that are hard to separate from the main background. What would be the most effective way to remove the background without affected the teeth?

Hi

I'm finally (and thankfully) being forced to switch to GIMP but I've just hit my first snag.

I want to adjust the color balance of an image on the master level (in other words, adjusting the color balance on the image as a whole; not shadow, midtones and highlights separately) but the Color Balance tool doesn't have an option to do so.

I'm sure the there has to be some way of doing it on the master level but there doesn't appear to be an obvious way.

Could someone please help?

Thanks

Betelgeuse should go supernova in the next decades, not millennia... but decades.

Betelgeuse is not anymore fusing hydrogen into helium, but carbon into neon/magnesium and Betelgeuse is not massive enough to fuse neon and magnesium into silicon and there is not much carbon left, thus Betelgeuse should go supernova from the next decade to few more decades
Please Betelgeuse don't wait too long

This is very annoying.  I found the instructions on what to do to at least print them out, but GIMP won't allow me to save the as a PDF file.  Most attachments come as pdf documents.

I tried to find another .pdf file but still could not work it out.  I feel like uninstalling GIMP, but it is good for photos.  (not pdf documents).
I have Windows 10.
Some one please respond with clear instructions.

I've been using the same format for editing/making art in GIMP forever. 4500 x 5400 pixels, 300 PPI.

Recently I saved and closed a project, and upon reopening it, my brush lines are now jagged and pixelated. I can draw a new line with same brush settings and the lines come out smooth and fine. I am 100% positive my image was still smooth and fine when I saved the .xcf fie and closed GIMP. Something happened and I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as I am essentially losing 8-10 hours of work here.
-Thanks

Hello, I'm a new Gimp-User and I hope I can find some help for my problem here. 
I am trying to apply a default gradient to a new image, but it doesn't work.
Here is the result of Abstract 2, but it's the same issue with any other default gradient.

The problem still persists after the update.
Thank you for any suggestions,

Have the colours of the lettering on the main interface changed recently?
I use a dark theme and had no trouble  seeing them before - all of a sudden the writing has gone black on a dark grey theme!?
I know I could have made the change - I was messing around in preferences earlier today. I do not recall going into themes though. Is there anywhere else I could have changed it? How can I change it back to a lighter colour?

Hi everyone :

 I just discovered a limitation of GIMP  2.10.   Whenever I import a .jpg file (either as a background or as a LAYER), the SHADOW  tool won't work.  But.....when I use the TEXT tool,  I am able to use the SHADOW tool.  One reason is....that the TEXT tool is an internal tool. Whereas, importing a .jpg file works on the basis of being external.
