How To's
« on: 07 April 2009, 16:36 »
Sounded a good idea on paper but now I've seen the test I think its too much.
Plus pepes cant add to them or ask questions.

Well I'm guessing the idea is to delete the threads that make up this coverall How To ???
If so then its not a good idea in my book!

Well I can allow the original HOW TO creator to add to is and then they can modify it when needed, and I'll just put a No Spam message up, if someone wants to comment on it they can do so in a separate thread maybe? (Like a stickied thread dedicated to the HOW TOs but just for comments?)


I do hear what you're saying though, it's not perfect atm, I was waiting for people to comment to see how to go about it :)

Well IMO would be best left alone.

Folk around here are lazy and trawling through a huge thread is not what they do! hence we get loads of silly questions!
Be better to just create a load of seperate threads.

No trawling needed as thanks to Mew I just put the initial list up, and it will link you directly to the part you want :)

I didn't really want to do it unless there was a quick was to do it. If you have a look at it atm, it defo would work that way. But need to find a way to allow people to comment, the only thing I can think of is a separate dedicated thread or something.


It would save a lot of useless threads being made I reckon.

Indeed, and then the same can be implemented into the mechanical side of things to, and be a lot tidier too.


Len - We'll just make a sticky with the thread title "DO A FECKING SEARCH FIRST YOU LAZY BASTARDS!!!" ;) :P
