Suggestion on the HOWTO & FAQs forum...

[Darkshadow]

I was thinking, if you renamed the forum to something like Tips, Tricks, and FAQs, there would most likely be less people asking questions in the forum. The HOWTO part seems to be attracting people who want to know how to do something.

And most of the HOWTOs could be renamed as tips or tricks. Some of them are answers to FAQs, so renaming the forum wouldn't really lose any of the content that's already there.

Just a small suggestion to help keep the forum on track.

Yea, I agree. If Ed is here right now, maybe it will be done in a month or two

And what if Scott is here? Will it be done tomorrow, or will it be done never?

Ok, you multiple posted this- twice in one thread in HOWTOs and FAQs, once (answered by cheryl) in Sys & Software, once in another unrelated thread on HOWTOs and FAQs and once in this thread

If you'd read this thread, then you'd have seen its about how people have been wrongly posting their questions in HOWTOs and FAQs.

People on this board are very friendly and generally happy to help, but please do not spam the board/multiple post. Better to start by searching the forum to see if your problem has already been dealt with, and if not looking for a minute to work out where best to post your question. Trust me, people are more likely to respond this way.

Back on topic: Yeah i think the name change might help but if the above situation is anything to go by, maybe not
