Title: Sticky post for operating instructions
Post by: DrivingMissLazy on April 06, 2006, 06:19:44 PM
Phil, I would like to initiate a sticky post to give instructions for accomplishing several different things. Although I have posted a couple of things they get lost in the all the other posts.

Something like this would be of great benefit to a newcomer so that they could know what they can do and how to do it. I am sure several others could contribute to this also.

I have a couple of additional items I would like to post but if it is going to get lost, then it is not really worth the effort to generate it.

What do you and others think?

Richard

Hi Richard, what if I moved those helpful hints, tips, tricks to the first sticky post - I just changed the title on that one to add "please read this before posting".

It could be titled something like "Richard's tips and tricks for BBS posting" or somethign similar.. 

Would that work?


Best Regards, Phil

In hindsight tho', you may want to change it as you discover new tips.   I do seem to remember a thread where folks were suggesting either a separate area for board tips, or just a general FAQ.   hmmm.  I would definetly like it if we could put your suggestions somewhere obvious.  Maybe put them in the welcome to the board  post for now until we think of a better place?  I'm open to suggestions.

Best Regards - and thanks!  Phil

Yes, that is what I was thinking about, but not just Richards tips, anybody's tips for easier board utilization and keep the extrainous clutter our or clean it up occasionally.

Hi Richard - or -  busnut's tips for board use...   ;D

Maybe we can work together via email over the next couple of weeks on this?  Let me know if that will work for you. 

I appreciate the assist.  Best Regards, Phil
