| 255360 | 2004-07-25 11:29:00 | Hello there...On 7/5/04 Slim said this... "Is anybody else having trouble connecting onto the FAQ page and trying to open a page, FAQ9a, I have been trying all day with no success." Today, tonight and last night I tried to to open the thread on PCWorld CDs and my browser simply doesn't move. I've had this experience several times over the last year and have only made one reasonably quick connect in that time. Slim got a lot of help from the troops amd a copy of the faq that he wanted but nothing from the FAQ site. This a shame because a visit to a FAQ sight is frequently made with some urgency and a no go is a real downer. And all the work put into those FAQs deserves to be seen more easily than this. In Slim's thread someone said that management was looking at this. I'm not being snarky about this..it's just that to me, it seems like a waste of a much needed resource. Hopefully...Ken |

| 255361 | 2004-07-25 11:51:00 | Indeed,The FAQ's are being re-edited and are to be published seperatly from the forum,negating the need to drag them out from under so much fluff just to be viewed I just made that up,But it should be done,As harsh as it may seem the faq's are rendered useless in their current state. I wonder how many hyper-sensative new age types will get offended by me using the word useless. |

| 255362 | 2004-07-25 11:56:00 | One trick is to cut/paste the reference ( FAQ #? XXXXX etc) into Search - turns up fairly fast. There was earlier traffic about this method. Is there a better one ? Cheers T |

| 255363 | 2004-07-25 12:07:00 | From my original post on how to do this: Also to get into the super slow FAQ pages, find the one you want to read. Click on the name of the person who wrote the faq, see all posts, search for the one you want and BINGO, you are in fast. Rob |

| 255364 | 2004-07-25 21:51:00 | Even faster: Open the main FAQ page because that is never slow, find the FAQ you want then enter the number in full (e . g . FAQ #8a) into the search feature, select from the results and the FAQ will pop up at virtually normal speed . It takes longer to describe this than it does to do it! Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 255365 | 2004-07-25 21:58:00 | Then there was This Thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) that generated so little interest (and no response from our favourite gnomes) that I formed the view that FAQ speed was a non-event. Perhaps it should have been posted as a poll. :D Does the PF1 FAQ access speed suck or blow? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

FAQ/How to buy a laptop that fits your needs FAQ/The basics needed to get involved in Video editing FAQ/Goldfish . . . . . Not really made of gold!!!! |

| 255368 | 2004-07-29 02:05:00 | I like the idea of a FAQ on Video Editing / Capturing, as its turning up a fair bit recently..... Chill. |
