Forum FAQ

[Naples Air Center, Inc.]

Just thinking about a Forum FAQ Sticky.

What does everyone think of a Sticky, where everyone can add to it.

The guidelines are very short posts, listing what the post is about, of a Link to someone like:

Spyware and Malware Issues: Tweak3d.net has a guide on how to remove Spyware, etc.

How to Eliminate Spyware, Adware, and Random Popups (http://www.tweak3d.net/articles/spyware/)

and

Registry Edits for Windows XP "Tweaks and Tips" (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm)

(There are well over 600 Tweaks, Fixes and Utilities.)

If any post is too long, we have a Moderator shorten the post down to a couple of lines and if someone posts outside the guidelines, it is deleted by a Moderator.

I think it would be helpful as long as we keep it short and easy to read, so it can be used as a quick reference.

Sounds like a good idea. Problems get fixed but more are coming along all the time and a handy dandy reference guide would be an asset.

Richard,

Excellent idea - would be very helpful to those of us who just know the basics but would like to learn more. Hope it gets off the ground.

Richard, I like the idea. I have noticed that over time, questions are often repeated, problems often re-occur. It would be a handy reference for people to browse through before posting on the forum - and it would probably save bandwith as well as time...

...especially as we don't have a search function at the moment...

..............and not forgetting to put at the top of the post about what operating system/equipment used etc...... :O

Does anyone have anything in mind what should be in there? Has anyone come up with some kind of draft copy to kick things off with???
