FAQ Section is very poor !!!!
Hi all, this is not a gripe but really a suggestion, There are so many Link 2.0 mods out there and so many customizations avaiable.

Looking through the forums, how many times do you see the same question asked over and over again, nevermind sometimes on the same page.

Is it possible if you can gather all these very common questions together and place them in the FAQ sections, it would save so much time in searching for a mod or support and so much time for people like Anthro and Paul Wilson, answering all these common questions.

Its only an idea and I will stow my tits if required, but I think the FAQ needs a new boost of material for the beginners out there like me.

I did actually start to make a FAQ site but was told was it wasn't needed so I stopped Mad

There are a few FAQ sites about but I'd still be interested in making one if it is worth my while. All I mean when I say that is that I don't want to make it and find it isn't used.

If I put one together will people use it and submit FAQ's?

I do agree that that the resource center really needs some work. Maybe if Alex would designate a few users to do this it could be greatly improved. But personally, I feel that those who do not search the forum and resource center will continue not to just because they think it's easier to post a new topic then try to find an answer on their own.

In a way Junko, I do agree with you, but people should not have to search the forums board if the FAQ section was up and running. IMHO the FAQ section should be the first stop and if its not listed in there, then the user should search the forums and finally if nothing found then post a message.

Sorry its just my humble opinion, I hope no offence is taken by this post if so, Admins/mods please delete.

Hi Paul, I have had a look at your FAQ page and I hope it personally provides people like me with a good source of help and support.

Thanx again

Or you can go to pre-existing LINKS FAQ web sites:

http://links.innovationstudios.com/
http://www.camelsoup.com/

Which provide links to MODS and FAQs....

rather than duplication or re-creation of the "wheel".

True, but my point is that many users are not taking advantage of the resources already available.

Damn Straight...and creating yet another FAQ web site is a waste of time, energy, and resources if you ask me.

Paul,

Not jealousy...just a matter of frustration with seeing the same type of web sites being developed, when there is NO Need to do so! Why don't you and others simply use resources already available???!?!?!?!?!?

Have more *&^% to say about it or directly to me, use PM, Paul.

Bye.

Sorry I don't see why that concerns you, if anyones time and energy is wasted then it is only my own and I can deal with it.
