For the majority of people the FAQ won't be required as many of us have used forums for years. We do occasionally have new members that are new to online forums, and may have questions about various workings of the forum. Even some of our longer term members have difficulty with some functions; the multi quote function springs to mind.
To be honest, until this thread was started, I'd never even noticed there was an FAQ page...let alone looked at it!
Hopefully this thread will aid me in compiling a thorough FAQ section that we can point members toward in such circumstances.
Something I've never used and would probably save me a lot of time copy and pasting, definitely one for FAQ's
Ok, so far we've got the following (thanks, Angela).
How do I post a picture on the forum?
How do I resize pictures? (Not actually a forum question, but an associated process to allow members to post their pictures, and often asked about)
How do I quote multiple messages in my reply (Multiquote tool)?
How to use the ignore feature (especially for Mark)
Keep them coming!
Where do i find the new posts for today.
Uh..."You have been fined 99 bicycle clips, go directly to jail, do not collect 200 pounds... who's that naughty boy there?"
how do I change my details, avatar and signature? Not a questions a suggestion.
Why can i not edit my post? I have come back to it 11 mins later and its locked
A newbee section would be a great idea. all the basics answered by those who know best by trial, error and experience.
For example - Advice on buying speakers for beginners. Or types of lighting ... especially a dummies guide to PAT, PRODUB and PLI
We are all good at different things so can contribute.
It will save telling everyone that they have to introduce themselves and use the search function all the time.

No, we can just say "Please read the FAQs forum" all the time instead.It will save telling everyone that they have to introduce themselves and use the search function all the time.
Cynical? Moi?
Something diverting all new members to that would help IMO.No, we can just say "Please read the FAQs forum" all the time instead.

You could merge both sections and make the person introduce themselves before they can post in any other sections.
Not sure the limitations of this forum software?
I am sure Alex could hack it and brand it under Alexcellent though
Perhaps a glossary of terms used ie:active,passive,powered,moonflower,gobo,rms,late ncy etc
