| 55580 | 2002-06-26 05:51:00 | Rob - I think that the best way to do this would be to post each FAQ as a seperate post (in seperate threads) with a common naming convention . . . for instance: FAQ: 1) I have files with extension . xxx what are they and what application do they belong to . Then the volunteers can post a message against that FAQ volunteering to respond (or simply post their response directly) . That way you know which FAQ's you have, which are being handled already and which have no volunteers . We can then identify these (a custom search would give a list of them based on containing the word FAQ in the title for instance) and provide a link to all the "formal" FAQ's . One thing we should watch out for is making it obvious that the FAQ's are answers to frequently asked questions about hardware/software/internet issues rather than FAQ's about the PressF1 site and its usage . We could also perhaps add a link to posts that is an option saying "nominate this post for our Frequently asked questions list" . That way our moderators can indicate against a post that it should be considered . . . i . e if it's one they see posted a lot . |

| 55582 | 2002-06-26 11:30:00 | hehehe, I hope there is no limit to the lengths of the FAQ's as 42 is getting pretty long!! ;\ | Craig Bellhouse (493) | ||
| 55583 | 2002-06-26 20:55:00 | Sounds like a plan, will take a crack at it next week. 40 FAQs are going to clog the top of the list though. robo. |

| 55584 | 2002-06-26 20:56:00 | Post them as a new thread, start the subject with FAQ and the number then the title. People can offer suggestions then they can be immortalised. robo. |

| 55585 | 2002-06-27 02:25:00 | Posted FAQ # 10 What is win386.swp? Can I delete it? Probably will need a bit of work, but it's there, now just to do the one on important backups I can think of IE Fav's Outlook Mail WAB I don't use netscape but! My Documents and also, backup using a Cd-Writer or MS-Backup or Zip? I think I'll just do to a CD-Writer coz I've got two myself, but never touched the others Thanks Jo |

| 55587 | 2002-06-27 05:30:00 | Guys - we are looking now at how we can set up a FAQ homepage. We could just do a static page but we think we'd rather do something a bit more sophisticated than that. Hopefully, something along the lines of a clone of the homepage that is set to only display threads tagged as FAQs. So keep up the good work and we'll try and come up with a decent system for displaying them all without clogging up the home page ... |

| 55588 | 2002-06-27 05:41:00 | OK - the plan (with plans not always ending up in reality, you understand) is that we'll be making a change at the admin end so that Rob will not only be able to set a thread as an FAQ (which he can do now) but will also then give that FAQ a number. Then our FAQ page will sort the threads by these numbers, giving a way to provide a logical order to FAQs on the FAQ home page. | Biggles (121) | ||
| 55589 | 2002-06-27 06:23:00 | I'll take 13 now. G P |
